"Steve, what you fail to realize is that the Terrorist views American Foreign Policies as Terrorist as well. Perhaps you read more on the history of terrorism from both perspectives and especially from the 7 conditions I mentioned. I do know one thing, myself and millions of other Americans lives, security and freedoms are endangered b/c of our foreing polices or rather what our elected leaders do abroad in our name".

Let me explain my response to your thesis about how terrorists view our "Foreign Policy". Ready????

I don't give a shit.

Let me explain something to you and maybe you'll be able to cease crying for those poor, terribly mis-understood people with the bombs wrapped their bodies for a couple of minutes. Our "Foreign Policy" has given and donated more aid, money and supplies to more countries than every other country on the planet combined. Our "Foreign Policy" has freed more people held in concentration camps, rape rooms and torture chambers more than every other country in the world combined. Did you feel this way during the Clinton, Carter, Kennedy and FDR administrations? How about Truman? I won't bother boring myself to ask you come up with facts behind your insanity and apologetic stance towards terrorists because it will just be more of the same anti-Israel, anti-American crap that I can read or hear from Air-America, the Nation magazine or the United Nations.

You have not lost one iota of your "freedoms" and neither has anyone else. I know this because while the ACLU have been whining like impotent jerk-offs ever since the patriot Act came into being, they still to this day cannot find one person that has been illegally and negatively affected by it and believe me, they are trying. No one is forcing anything down your throat. Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young are in the middle of a "Freedom of Speech" tour and the assumption is that their right are being taken from them. Well, it seems to me that Neil Young is playing 10 songs from his new album dealing specifically with impeaching Bush etc...and the majority of the show harkens back to their prime of protesting. God bless them, I hope they do well and everyone is entitled to whatever opinion they like. But, wake up and realize that you have lost none of your freedoms.

Smarten up!
