That isn't the only reason they attacked us. There has to be something more to plan an attack like 9/11 then just stationed troops. There is a difference from attacking a border country for that (Irael and Lebanon) and across the world.

We, Americans, are the devil. Thats why - didn't you get the memo?

I didn't say it was a good reason. I said it was the reason they gave us. I'd say it amounts to no justification, but as an American, I have a bias.

I know you never said it was a good reason or the "reason". I'm just annoyed how people don't care why, they just want revenge.

One would think. But lemme ask - what did America do to them that you believe would justify 9/11?

I personally don't think 9/11 is justified. I think that there were underlying causes that got exaggerated into something bigger than it actually was. I think the main reason was that America treats everyone else like shit but I'm not certain so I won't say that is the reason.

Also, just because I don't think 9/11 was justified doesn't mean it couldn't have been. Like how I don't believe Bush set up 9/11 but I won't rule it competely without definite proof.
