Thinking it through further. WTC did not occur in a vacuum, it was not an attack against an innocent America. The US has been fooling around in the Middle East for a long, long time, even before we overthrew the duly elected head of the democratic Iranian state.

From the point of view of Muslims, and the rest of the world without a censored press, the US has funded the Israeli treatment of Palestinians for years and years, also.

WTC was a response to many, many years of US activity over there. While a heinous act, it was a heinous act in response to decades of other heinous acts.

The US acts as if it was just standing around and because some people hate freedom and our way of life. We are so superior people are willing to die just to protest our freedom.

An interesting aside. The US then attacked Iraq, inflicting upon innocent Iraqis more damage than a thousand WTCs, and thinks nothing of it. Will forget that Iraq happened, and wondered why they will hate us. And there is no remorse, no guilt, not even a "sorry 'bout that".
