and it's absurd to claim, when there is so much evidence to the contrary, that all those who perpetrate horrific acts "know nothing but hate and violence". Nor have all those who have committed such acts, been oppressed by the U.S.

It neither gives me comfort not distresses me to place the ultimate responsibility on those who perpetrate horrific acts- whether it be 9/11 or the recent Charlie Hebdo massacre.

Of course the U.S. should take responsibility for our horrific acts. But if you think that all terrorism would stop if only the U.S. were to change its role in the world, you're ignorant of both history and human nature.
