Precious little I like about conservatives, but I always liked the whole personal responsibility thing. Yet when discussing terrorism they never say anything about the things we've done in the past that led to arabs and the Muslim world hating us now.
It's not anything we've done, it's the religion. It's not our being in their countries siphoning their oil or supporting their oppressors, it's their religion.
We've been screwing over the middle east since World War 1. Promises were made then, and then broken. And being a culture that doesn't forgive betrayl or forget things, fast foward to now and the sins we committed in the past are still a big part of what's happening.
Until we accept personal responsibility for foreign policy and acknowledge that if you piss and shit on people they tend to get cranky, not only will we eventually lose this fight, but we'll likely lose it bloody.
