Osama Bin Laden wasn't coy about this fact either.
What was the answer? MORE INTERVENTION AND OCCUPATION!
Now they are in the tricky situation of not wanting to appear weak and caving to terrorist demands because of mistakes they made decades ago.
This is true. But it would have (and still is) wiser to leave them to sort themselves out. No more western lives need to be lost on the issue. And i have almost always found it far easier to defend my territories than to attack other's.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
