It takes away any responsibility for thinking about why the extremists have sympathizers, why governments are willing to risk basing terror activities, and why the slums of the middle east have become a breeding ground for militant groups.

Comments like this take away from moral fortitude and responsibility.
Just because someone supports a cause that is evil, doesn't make it justifiable. Nor does that allow for a situation to condone state sponsorship of terror. The world is black and white, evil is evil.
This really pisses me off how people here harp and ridicule the American government so harshly and without repent, yet at the same time you actually go and try to sympathize with, and justify what a bunch of amoral sociopaths are doing. It is truly disturbing.
