Perhaps you mean they don't want to carry on like this.  |
What I meant was that I was unable to distinguish between the US and Al Qaeda based on this description:
"They want the world converted to their ideology. They want to control through fear and intimidation. They can not be negotiated with. We have been under attack for over a decade. We have tried reolutions, they have failed."
Islamic extremists don't really care what your women do, they don't care that you vote, they don't care that you buy their oil (in fact, they love it), they don't care that your movies are against what they believe in, they don't care about your system of justice, they don't care about you "not torturing criminals" (of course, the US just tortures those who haven't been proven to be criminals yet) but they do care that your ideologies are being forced upon them and that you have influence over their countries.
It's very important that you understand this. They couldn't care less about the way you live, as long as you don't try to make them live the same way. And that's where the problem lies.
