Why hit Canada? Why hit Mexico? Why hit anywhere when you can attack the beacon of Freedom in the world, the country that represents democracy and equality, the United States of America. It's a much more powerful message to attack the symbol of freedom in the world.

(That's just a POSSIBLE reason, could also have to do with foreign policy)

No wonder America is hated by the world. The citizens of America are all a bunch of idiots. You think they attacked America because it is a symbol of freedom? The arabs got tired of being pushed around by a bully and they retaliated. How hard is that to understand? Quit [censored] with the arabs, quit stealing their natural resources, quit putting military bases on their land, quit putting in puppet dictators, and stay the hell out of the middle east and 9/11 would have never happened.

Unbelievable. What natural resources are we stealing from the Arabs?

And by the way, Saudia Arabia ASKED for US troops during the first Gulf War and turned down Osama's offer to raise an Arab army to stop Saddam Hussein. It's not our fault that Osama threw a hissy fit over the mere presence of American troops in an Arab country, even though we were clearly doing that country a favor and protecting an innocent nation from invasion.

Stop blaming America first and rationalizing the actions of Islamic terrorists. They'd find a reason to hate us no matter what we did.
