It is somehow our fault that instead of fighting their system to make it better for themselves and their people...they lash out and kill innocent people elsewhere....
This might have a ring of truth if and only if the US was not responsible for the protection of the current Saudi regime. Or hadn't you noticed our bases there?
...but by your standard...any advancement in any field that is a result of investment of american ingenuity and finances is also excess.
This is laughable on its face. What makes me proudest to be from this country is two guys from Dayton working in their bicycle shop who gave the world flight. Nothing, imho, is a greater gift for all of mankind.
Emphasis Mine.
So when they blow up Hoover Dam...its good because at least there's one less example of capitalist excess.
Very bad example on your part. Hoover Dam was a Public Works Project.
Sorry...your attitude is sickening.
This is not surprising coming from you. I'd bet you think that asking ourselves why anyone in the world would hate us enough to commit suicide in an effort to kill what is in fact a smallish number of citizens when contrasted with how many die in autos and to (more importantly?) injure our pride and sense of invulnerability is a question not worth asking. 'Tis a pity. I am still hopeful that the horrible events of two years ago will cause more circumspection from the American people, useful idiots like yourself and Arkaidy notwithstanding.
