I don't know the answer, but I wish more people would ask the question. That's my point. The feeling I get is that the prevaling "wisdom" is "they hate the US, we have no choice, bomb 'em."
Look at the number of arab troops stationed in the US. Now look at the number of US troops stationed in the arab world. If you were in their shoes, how would you view the US? And no, I'm not making excuses for their behavior...killing is killing. BUT, if we don't try to figure this out, then we are doomed to spending ourselves into oblivion fighting an opponent that perhaps cannot be beaten.
