Bush is pissing me off (again)

Yes. Once again. I watched him for one minute on tv, if even. He's speaking in Detroit or some bullshit. Anyways, he says the reason terrorists attacked was because they are jealous that people in America can worship who they want. I'm like wtf? He's saying they are jealous they can't worship God like Christians or something and that's why they attacked?
That's like blaming Hitler's invasion on Poland based on the fact that Germany's national language was german, and not polish, so Germany was jealous.

Bush is correct about that. Al Qaeda attacks those they deem not godly enough.
Sorry it pissed you off to have to learn that from Bush rather than spend the time yourself to see what the terrorists themselves have said about it, but hey.

That's just ridicalus! Everybody knows that Germany invaded Poland 'caus they had a bunch of them Jews. Everyone knows that Poland... no, wait, maybe that's Germany. Well, we dropped nucalar bombs on Germany back in 1924 so they'd stop attackin' our friends. I hope that straightens everybody out.

Actually Chrsitians thought they were God's chosen people, and so did the Jews, they still do. Except they don't fly jumbo jets into buildings to prove that.

I am perplexed that so many are so deficient in practical thinking skills that they are unable to grasp the concept that our foreign policy MIGHT have something to do with people hating us all over the globe. No, the ignoramuses think it's just that they're jealous of our freedoms. Hogwash! Might the fact that American forces are all over the earth, the U.S.'s biggest recipient of foreign aid is Isreal, the U.S. enforced years of sanctions on Iraq that had more effect on destroying the hope of the common man there than dislodging a dictator, that U.S. bombs (regardless of stated intentions) blow apart the bodies of numerous innocents and that the U.S. materially supports repressive regimes in the Muslim part of the world have a little, teensy, weensy influence on people's feelings? I know the terrorists themselves have expressed the sentiments that these are part of the reason, but...
... nah, I guess they only hate us because of our freedoms. Yep, I know this because the dullard in chief says so. It's a good thing the Bush administration is working dilligently to destroy those freedoms, so those crazy A-rabs won't be so jealous of us any more and we can live in peace.

Did they attack the Vatican, churches or any religious symbols? or did they attack the WTC, Pentagon and another attempt on D.C.?

Bin Laden's anger with the United States stems from the 1990 decision by Saudi Arabia to allow the U.S. to stage attacks on Iraqi forces in Kuwait and Iraq. After the U.S. victory, the U.S. military presence became permanent.
In a CNN interview with bin Laden in 1997, he said the ongoing U.S. military presence in Saudi Arabia is an "occupation of the land of the holy places."

it only takes a brief reading of 20th century political histories of Iran and Afghanistan to understand what their impression of the U.S. might be. Put yourself in their shoes, what would you think of the U.S.?

Your a fucking meat wad. The Germans were not invading Poland in WW 2 because of the Jews. And the nuclear bomb wasn't invented until WW 2 which is not 1924.
