Why is this? Don't maybe, oh, the people living there share some blame? If I remember, the people of Iran got sick of what they saw as meddling, and they overthrew him. Why not overthrow Saddam? And how is the suffering after-Saddam the US's fault? It isn't US citizens or soldiers planting roadside bombs targetting their own people.
No, the US is just a big, easy target. That's why the rest of the Western world is carefully left out of blame for situations like this. The US is the last superpower, and hence is an easy target.

no, this isnt what i said. i was merely stating that to some, the pentagon and twin towers were considered legitimate military targets beacause of what they stood for, whereas the trains and buses are not seen as target for obvious reasons.

What are the obvious reasons that trains and busses aren't the same type of target? What about the planes used to target the WTC and the Pentagon? Are planes somehow a more military target? I might even give you the Pentagon being a somewhat military target, but how is attacking the WTC any better than attacking trains and busses?
