p.s. and its not just people dying caused by roadside bombs. how many innocents have been slain by indiscriminate US bombing or carelessness.

And here we see how people can sympathize with terrorists. By this reasoning, if I get laid off at my job and go on a killing spree, I should be absolved. All GM execs should be arrested, because it was their policies that led to the rise of crime in Flint and Detroit. It wasn't the people commiting the crimes fault, they are apparently innocent.

its not. and im not justifying the use of planes, nor the attack on the towers. im just letting you know that these people justify the attack on the towers because the WTC stood as a symbol of american might and monetary control over the entire world, as well as working with the "the zionists' plot to rule the world". although even within their own circles, this whole idea of killing innocents is questionable. for this reason, some islamic groups hesitated in condemning the 911 attacks initially, whereas the 7/7 attacks were condemned instantly by every islamic society and nation that i know.

There is no proof for anything you say here. It's obvious through even the mildest application of logic that in their circles, killing innocents isn't questionable. And I have yet to see any major country condemn the recent attacks, and very few who condemed the 9/11 attacks, even 4 years later.
