Good post. I might have got you wrong before.
I agree with the jealousy thing. If the terrorists really did "Hate our freedoms" as Bush still maintains then they'd have bombed Vegas, San Francisco and the Hamptons.
The fact they went after the sources (or at least the symbols) of what they probably consider to be abuses of financial, military and political power is the key.
