I'm just pointing out the cause for the rise of much of the hatred of the West that drives some of the terrorist organizations.

Many of our own leaders predicted what happens when nations choose the imperialist, military path.

In the world we live in today, you will see international terrorism continue to grow as long as the West puts most of it's resources into military expansionism.

We don't want better trade agreements, we send in the aircraft carriers! It's not working.
