Both sides are at fault, to think it is only their fault or our fault is just stupid.

Can't really disagree with that.

Look at all the terrorist/resistance groups against Israel. All of them I have seen have been started because of Israeli occupation. I am sure that most of these terrorists groups are the same.

The occupation has now become an excuse. Most of the groups are not the same. The enemy is the same.

I'm pretty sure that they attacked us because of our occupation in the Middle Eastern countries and us raping them of their natural resources keeping them in poverty. I know that 9/11 was a reactionary attack because of what we did. Does it justify it? No, absolutely not. But is there is reason? Yes, yes there is.

Raping them of their resources! Ha. Ever hear of OPEC? We are not raping anything. If anyone is keeping them in poverty it is not the West, it is their governments. Ever been to Saudi, Kuwait, Bahrain, UAE? Money is not a problem for the oil rich countries of the world. We are not responsible for 9/11, if you believe that you have been brainwashed by the leftist views of the world. Poor terrorists, maybe you think we should pay them some reparations for having the need to come over here and kill themselves in those big bad bird like symbols of Western greed.
