I found what our Governor said to be a bit disturbing. At least to me he seems like a person not in touch with reality. I agee with what Dave said though.

Oh, I agree with Dave about that btw. I just meant Karl’s last paragraph was “right on”.

While what he said may be true at a base level, it also is rather simplistic drivel. 9/11 did not happen due to the extremist Muslim factions not “understanding us or our beliefs”. It had nothing to do, like The Shrub said, of their jealousy of our way of life, or jealousy of our freedoms, blah blah blah. It was perpetrated out of hate, out of REVENGE against who they perceive as their oppressor. For being an unwelcome presence on their soils (Saudi Arabia, airbases, etc.), and supporting Israel vs. the Palestinians, and being one of the many foreign powers (UK, French) who’ve dicked around with their govts & power struggles. (All over oil, of course). We’re the Great Satan, and they want to strike back.
