Don't YOU Get It, 9-11 is Europe's Fault

[28sweep]

So I'm watching T.V. and I am seeing another anti-U.S. protest in some European country again.These America "Haters" seem to be everywhere now-even here.  So now its time to "take off the gloves" and tell it like it is.  9-11 is Europe's fault (also the crises in India-Pakistan)!!!  It's not our fault…we are just the target by default…here's why:  

1) Terrorism is fueled by poverty and illiteracy-Period.  No other causes.  None.  Islam has nothing to do w/ it…just a coincidence.  The legacy of European Colonialism has created poverty in the Middle East and Near East (Pakistan, India, Bangladesh) etc.  The arbitrary borders the European powers "drew-up" has created many "artificial rivalries" that has fueled war after war in these regions.  Millions have been killed in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Iran, Iraq etc. etc. because of these wars.  The legacy of Colonialism created and still perpetuates the tyrannical governments that exploit and murder their own people.  I haven't even mentioned the direct exploitation of these people.  Just take a visit to a major museum in London or Paris and  look at the treasures on display from Egypt, India Iraq etc.  Who can even begin quantify the resources, money, and treasures stolen?  Add to that a nice helping of pure humiliation and you've got quite a power keg.  Thanks for that Europe.
2) There would be no Jewish State and therefore no Palestinian crisis if there was no WWII.  The world never would have rallied behind the Jews if it wasn't for the holocaust.  Thanks Germany for that one.  Oh I forgot-WWII is a direct result of WWI and the Treaty of Versaille. So maybe we can blame France and England a little bit too?  
Take 1+2 and you got it.  So I say to all Americans stand up and be proud.  We have done nothing to deserve this.  Stop blaming Islam too.  I am also calling out the Europeans.  Take your share of the blame for once and help to clean up the mess you created.  Hell,  we helped save you from you're-selves twice already (WWI, WWII).  Do we have to save the Middle East and Near East too?  How many Americans are going to have to die in this century to right Europe's wrongs again?

[Soulyss]

I'm a bit confused, are you stated that the U.S., it's actions and policies had nothing to do with the reasoning behind the attack?



*disclaimer*
please don't take this as criticism of what you've said, I see how a lot of these politically charged threads end up and I'm trying to avoid that, it's an honest question.  I just want to make sure I completely understand your point of view.

LOL...that made my day. You're tongue in cheek, are you?...I will assume you are. . The alternative is not really good for you

in any case, we europeans are innocent...if you have to blame someone...

Blame canada!!!! Blame canada!!!!!

LOL - sure we europeans are responsible for all this mess:

It was the european Alexander the Great who wanted to conquer the world and became a example for all the want-to-be-a-world-conquerers after him.

It were the european knights and the european pope who started the crusades.

It was an european who treid to find a way to India and instead found america.

It was an european captain who was responsible for the sinking of the Titanic.

Another european was responsible for the invention of nuclear weapons.

Wew - we europeans are really bad....


ROTFL

dont you have minoritary groups of idiots in USA, Eagler?. In europe they do exist.


You do have groups of people in america who are idiots and they act as amazinhunks. Just (luckily) they are not many, nor too numerous....

Then tell me now....am I supposed to focus in everything they say or do?; should I give them enough credit as to take them seriously on what they say or preach?.

No. I disregard them as what they are. A group of stupid ar$eholes worth little attention and no trust.


Just as you should do with their european counterparts.

Come on ,bug...you sold that city to the BRITISH!!

So I'd say is a good reason for them to be pissed at you!!!

I might point out here that, since the USA (as we think of it) began as an English colony... The USA is Europe's fault... England's in particular.

[midnight Target]

Don't be silly .....Its the Nation of Islam!

Columbus discovers America........ funded by Spain......... only because the Moors had been recently booted and there was money to burn. So if the Moors (Islam) had just hung around none of this would have happened! See! They have been after us for centuries!!

[easymo]

Its Canada's fault.  They are such a worthless target, the ragheads had to do us.

Well Europe could just roll back colonialism, ... draw a border around the whole mess,  call it Persia and let them do whatever it was they were doing before Alex kicked their prettythang the first time.

[HFMudd]

You know, I'm begining to suspect we need to rethink that whole "Leaving Olduvai Gorge and Africa in general" idea.  All these problems pretty much can be traced back to that one.

Never underestimate the persians/iranians - they survived Alexander and the arab conquest and still exist after 2500 years of the first formation of their land under Cyrus the Great.

They even avoided to be assimiliated by other races or cultures - like the greeks/macedones or romans or the semite arabs - so the Land of the Arians (thats the translation of "Iran") still exists today.
