Aah yes, they hate us for our freedoms. It's got nothing to do with all the western meddling in their part of the world, eh? It's always seemed odd to me that they don't hate westerners because of all the meddling/invading and propping up that westerners have done over there, they hate us for what we do over here.
And I find it interesting that Germany and France have "adopted" the western way of life and that's why they were attacked. Some might go so far to say that Germany and France had a prominent role in
inventing the western way of life, but that's neither here nor there. I'm also willing to bet that historically France and Germany have been involved in all that meddling and war-fighting, and also that this whole terrorism business didn't just begin with THE WAR ON TERROR.
