The thing I try to be clear on is that it is not the fault of the American people, rather, a seriously flawed foreign policy that bit us in the [censored]. And I do think that a Palestinian state should live next to Israel.
And whose fault was that? The flawed foreign policy, I mean.
The American leadership.
These policies we passed not by the will of the American people, for I don't remember a vote being passes whether or not to have troops in Saudi Arabia and Lebanon.
And judging that even when we vote to get out of Iraq by putting the Democrats in Congress, even then they won't pull out. So it's easy to take the vote of the American people, and do the opposite of what you were elected to do.
Watching CNN's God's Warriors. Its opened my eyes to a few things. So here what I have to say in conclusion to my argument.
Everyone is wrong.
No one is right.
Muslims can't kill anyone who doesn't abide to their law.
Jews can't force everyone out of their country.
And Christians can't conquer the world.
Thank you and goodnight!
I've just got a few words to say about this.
We, as Americans, our capable of great evil. We've proved this time and again throughout our short history. Yeah, we're big, and we're bad, and we can [censored] any other country up in conventional warfare. And because of that, others are turning to the use of unconventional tactics. Back to my first sentence, we are capable of, and we do a lot of bad things. These things contribute greatly towards the disdain and flat out hatred of our country. Let's say that hypothetically, U.S. forces covertly enter a sovereign nation and assassinate a political enemy. Now, let's say that in doing so, a young man living in that country lost his brother. Now put yourself in that young man's place. Your brother, your family, who you love more than anything was killed by a country halfway around the world, and they don't even care.
Now lets say that that young man straps a bomb to himself and blows it up in a crowded American city. To him, his response is rational. He just avenged his brother's death.
But to us, it's abhorrent, and an example of pure evil. But it is only because of us that he did it.
It depends on your perspective, but the same act can have profoundly different meanings.
Now, keep in mind that that was entirely hypothetical. And I am not trying to say that the U.S. is to blame for every person out there trying to kill people. But we do shoulder some of the responsibility. Our actions carry with them repercussions. I'm not saying that we did or did not ask for the attacks on 9/11. I think that it would be presumptuous to say so either way. I don't know what the people that did it were thinking. I don't know what had happened to them in the past. I don't know if our country killed their brother, or their mother, or did nothing at all. It doesn't matter to me. They did it. It happened.
But America has killed hundreds of thousands of civilians across the globe. Each death means something. Not to us, no, we don't care about the Iraqis who died today. But their brothers do. And they're pissed.

Indeed every death we cause overseas will affect us in the end, we shall reap what we sow, and we shall reap a whirlwind.
