I wrote a very long, very detailed editorial on people who blame
America itself for the September 11 attacks, but because the terminal
program PuTTY is such a piece of shit, I lost it. I'm not about to
rewrite the whole damn thing, so here are the highlights:
Arab hatred for America is claimed to be based on aspects of our
foreign policy, but it's all a smokescreen. The real reason is we are a
scapegoat for the inability of the Arab world to rule itself as a whole
(nevermind the rest of us) in peace. Rather than blame themselves, they'd
rather blame us.
The American left who blames foreign policy for the attack is
juvenilely simplistic and blind to reality. They also shouldn't be
surprised when their ridiculous and despicable speech is met with outrage,
hostility, and threats of violence, considering how patently offensive
some people find it. The left has always been a champion of stifling the
spread of ideas that people might find offensive. Guess the shoe's on the
other foot now, fuckwads. The only people to blame for 3,000 civilian
deaths are the people who committed the act, those who planned it, and
those who supported it.
