I agree that those three reasons are not why we are hated in some parts of the world, and attacked by terrorists. The folks in the Middle East and Muslim world could not care less about our 'way of life', 'standard of living', 'freedom', etc. They are pissed because we have military bases in their holy land, and because of what they deem an unfair and biased foreign policy in the region, particularly our staunch support of Israel. Does that mean terrorist attacks are somehow justified? Of course not. However, we as a nation might want to look at our actions in the global arena and figure out why they are so out-of-sync with the rest of the world's opinion, especially in the Muslim and Arab world.
