And therein lies the perfect contradiction!
The US were targetted, as you say, because of their occupation of the middle east by physical/financial means, and also politically via their biased support for the 51st state - Israel
And the UK became a target due to their support of the US after the twin towers attack and retribution by the US!
Therefore we (as in the west) are to a certain extent guilty of starting this 'war' because of that occupation...
Can you tell me how many Islamic terror attacks there were in the UK before sept 11?
And how many islamic terrorist threats were there in Australia before that date, and when did the Bali bombing happen?
Australia became a target too because of it's support for the misnamed 'war on terror'...
Incidentally, this is correct imo - and I rarely agree with the police..lol
English Defence League demos 'feed Islamic extremism'
I've seen episodes of racial tension over the last few decades, and hatred always breeds hatred...
It's a never ending cycle, and the daft letter in the first post just reinforces that fact!
