Sept 11th happened before the war in Iraq. I mean, I guess you could link it to Desert Storm reparations, if you wanted to make really convoluted arguments.
But unless you're trying to make that connection, we went to war because of sept 11th, remember? Because Iraq was behind it the whole time...

As I understand it the fundamentalist bone to pick is not with US political system, but rather with our way of life. Which, all of our civilians partake in. In this tacit participation, there are no noncombatants, everyone is a target because the battle is over lifestyle itself.

They're a dogmatically bound people, controlled by overly religious leaders and doing the best they can with the weapons they have.

It's important to remember however that God is on our side, George W is a great man, and our armorment is vastly superior to theirs. And we only kill the bad muslims who really really deserve it. Civilian casualities are for barbarians.

I think that if these radical extremists want to kill themselves, maybe they should strap a bomb to their chest and blow themselves up in a field away from innocent civilians. I don't really see the point in the message they are trying to give everybody. I am sickened by the attempted attacks in London and Glasgow and I hope the plotters have a very harsh sentence.
