I agree with your statements that most Arab people do not "hate" Americans even though Bush and his cronies have messed up Iraq on purpose, when Bush should have directed America's 9-11 anger toward Bin Laden and Afghanistan!  Don't forget, Bush is only in Iraq for OIL, OIL, and that's right, more OIL!!!\n\nOn the otherhand, I am American and I don't "hate" Arab people!!!  Nor does my family, nor do my friends... ;o)

Untrue theory.\n-Why would the government attack it's biggest military installation? Americans supported War on Terror right after Twin Towers were hit. The Pentagon being hit would not have influenced anyone's anger even more.\n-Why can't theorists put together how everything connects in those theories?\n-Why would the Israelis have to do with it? Their only big support is from us, and if Americans turned on them, they would be in trouble.\n-Why were surveilance videos relaesed, showing the hi-jackers at the airports on 9/11?\n-Why were ticket desk attendents be able to go on TV and describe what happened that day, without falting and trying to think of descriptions?\n-If Bin Laden was working for the government, why would we almost kill him twice in raids?\n-Why would the government want to start wars? It just costs them money.\n-Why would childhood friends of bin Laden be able to aduquately describe how he got influenced to become the violent person he is today if he does not actually exist?\n-If bin Laden is fake, why does he have a ton of family members with the same last name living today?\n-The websites of these theories flip flop. Some say there were people on the plane, and others say there was no one on the plane that day. If there was no one, why are there people who can prove they lost a family member that day, and why do these sites glip flop?\n-We hated terrorists before, as they blew up part of the USS Cole  years back, and that angered many people as it was.\n-We have hated radical Islam actually since 1979, when American hostages were hed in Iran, and many Americans would have supported a war then on terror.\n-Why would we need an excuse to invade Iraq, when we helped Iraq in their campaign against Iran in the 80's? Many people say that Bush Sr. Started the Gulf War over oil, but if he wanted oil, Saddam would have happily given it to him, because of our previous dealings with him, and our support of him.\n\n\nSee whatI'm saying? I once believed those theories, but they always flipped flopped, and none of them explained how every terrrorist event in part of this so called "conspiracy" connected. You are not a fool for believing these theories. You are just suspicious of the government, as many of us are.

I can't believe some of the responses you're getting, dude! \n\nThere are some replies above this one that think attacking Iraq was necessary. First - I am all in favor of the post-9/11 response to Afghanistan, specifically, the Taliban that helped Osama. Unfortunately, Osama was originally trained by the CIA to cause terror vs. the USSR back in the day, but we'll forget that for now.\n\nDoesn't anyone recall when Bush paraded his whole team out and they were certain they knew where the WMDs were, etc. etc.? Did Saddam need to be stopped? Well, yeh, but he (and the whole country) was contained and crippled. There were humanitarian organizations calling for blockades to be lifted, it was crushing the country.\n\nI honestly don't know why people aren't more outraged about it. I think racism and crusade nostalgia play into it. I think they just don't care. It sets an example in a somewhat positive way, that is, it shows other nations that the USA is irrational, therefore, stay away. Unfortunately, I think acting firmly rational and strong can have the same effect. \n\nOh, yeah. I guess people are ok with attacking Iraq because it helped bring down oil prices. \n\nWhoops.

... The American soldiers were sent to Iraq based on a lie told by our president,...no!  we did not reach our target as our target was to find and destroy weapons of mass destruction which even Bush admits may not exist,... since then ,he has changed the reason for going to war once a year and his supporters now use his most recent example,,fighting terrorist ,although they did not exist in Iraq before we invaded... Giving the fact that Bush has two years left I am sure we will hear two more excuses..the result of our adventure is a split country... a world that hates us and generations of children around the world growing up believing we are an evil people!!!

a couple of points...\n\nA. anyone who says 9-11 is a retard... osama is in Pakistan... not Iraq... I know it's hard for you to wrap your mind around... but there is more than one country in the middle east... cite the link of 9-11 to Iraq... oh that's, right there aren't any \n\nB. See, defense contractors make a lot of money when we go to war... then if they make trillions, they give trillions to those that support the wars, like Republicans... also if we go to war in the middle east, the instablity it causes dirves up oil prices, so they make money and donnate more too... and our president may have some ties to oil as well?\n\n\nrfjanssen... simple question... why doesn't Bush do something about Osama... he's in Pakistan... he's "picked" on us? is he just a pansy?

You speak nonsense!  No American would claim to "like" bin laden more than bush (although that isn't saying much for bush, as he is very disliked by millions of americans), however, just because we dems & reps have our differences, it is an insult to all of us for you to infer such nonsense...WE are all Americans first.

I would hate to even think about it. But revenge is the answer. Isn't that the first reason Afghanistan, then Iraq were invaded to revenge 9/11. It's human nature, only there has been no concrete proof approved by the UN to prove they were responsible - only media coverage that had the effect of mass brain washing and that has confessed that Iraq had nothing to with 9/11 or had WMD.\n\nIraqi and other people are being punished and labeled as terrorists simply because they are defending their country; a country that was invaded for no reason, lately being bringing them democracy! Democracy on the other hand would not accept that people are jailed, sent off to be tortured for years without a trial then maybe finally released without being convicted of anything.\n\nThese people (Iraqis etc.) have nothing to defend themselves with against heavy military weapons, napalm bombs bombarding on them and their loved ones, destroying their homes and the infrastructure of their country and yet they fight back, they are terrorists!\n\nOther nations, can shoot children and women on the beach because they have a "right to defend themselves" while other nations are being fought on their own soil by invaders and they do not have this same right. I cannot understand the discrimination and double standards applied.

Yeah, I think the only people who are using 9/11 as an excuse for this war are the Bush Administration.  Pretty much everyone else knows why we are in Iraq.  amazing, isn't it.

Well, Bush has repeatedly said that everyone who disagree with him is a terrorist who hates America.\n\nI just clicked the Politics link above, and found this\n\n  Why Are Liberals So Stupid and Hypocritical?\n\nThis is relatively mild, compared to a lot of the attacks I've seen on this site.

How can I say this so the some of the people answering this question will understand. IRAQ WAS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOT THE 9/11 ATTACKS AND NEITHER WAS AFGHANISTAN.\n\nIs that clear enough? Now given that they weren't responsible, whay are they being invaded? What could they possibly have that the US wnats? Oh my gosh! shock! horror! it's oil. Of course the US is stealing Iraqi resources.

I personally think that the 'war' should have ended long ago. Bush is being a bully and is really just finishing what his father couldn't. Yes, its the greed of the oil. Money is the root of all evil. Just because some terrorists were muslim doesn't mean that all muslims are bad. We do have american terrorists, the unibomber,  the Oklahoma dude so does that mean we are going to hate americans too? Its all about racism. Period. What about those Virginia snipers? I would have never, ever thought they were african americans.  There are bad people in all races.

I do believe that the ex-iraqi regime wasn't good at all , it was totally vicious and a real evil , but , please , is it a US leader who meant to correct that ? no and million no , i prefer saddam husain than what america did over there , it was a big lie , they wanted oil for israel,  why should they do that and lose millions of millions ? because simply US is actually ruled and govern by israel , israeli rich people are all in US and they have the US economy in their hands , bush couldn't refuse that ,  yes all those who talked about mass distruction weapons were liers and  america won't do the same with iran because it would be a change point in the history when iran kick US ass-es , NOW  FOR ALL THOSE STILL BELIEVE US ADMINISTRATION : PLEASE , DO U FEEL BETTER WHEN YOUR FAMILIES MEMBERS ARE DYING IN IRAQ IN A WAR THEY WEREN'T SUPPOSE TO HANDLE , ARE YOU HAPPY WHILE IRAQI INNOCENT CHILDREN AND WOMEN AND OLD MEN BEING KILLED WITHOUT ANY MERCY FOR NO CLEAR REASONS ? COME ON I DON'T WANT THAT FREEDOM WHICH DAMAGING A COUNTRY AND MAKE IT EVEN WORSE THAN WHAT I HAS BEEN , PLEASE , AND HONESTLY  , LET'S CONFESS , YOUR DMINISTRATION LIED A BIG LIE , AND YOUR PEOPLE , OUR PEOPLE ( MUSLIMS) , ARE THE REAL VICTIMS , WE DON'T HATE YOU , YOU DON'T HATE US , YOUR ADMIMINSTRATION ARE DOING THINGS LIKE THAT .... THINK AGAIN ,,, AND BE CAREFUL IT'S WON'T BE LIKE THIS NEXT TIME ..\n\n\nTHANKS FOR THE ASKER

What's sad about the whole issue is that we shouldn't even be there right now anyway. Everyone knows the Bush Admin. knew that Iraq had no WMD's before going there to install an American friendly government. The whole invasion had been planned for years before 9/11. People must understand the the whole war on terror is a huge fallacy, with a sole purpose of controlling oil and drugs in Eurasia.\nBesides, there's always been a war on terror... How do you think the United States of America started?\nOur forefathers broke free from British oppression in the beginning of this great republic.\n\nThe real question remains, why have large corporations been allowed to control our economy, and why has the government been allowed to get away with allowing oil companies to rule our way of life?\nThis wouldn't even be a problem if the people of the US would stand up to our government, as our forefathers intended, and do the right thing with regard to alternative fuels. America needs to be independent from outside, and internal oil influences!!!

Ya know, I'm getting pissed at people from other countries criticizing our country and our president. The US is great as long as we're protecting some second rate nation but if we attempt to protect ourselves, well, we're just evil bulies. George Bush didn't ask for a war against a phantom enemy. An enemy that calls no nation home. An enemy that wears no uniform. An enemy that kills women and children as part of a strategy. An enemy that fires, then runs and hides behind those same women and children.  An enemy that teaches it children to hate people of other  religions. An enemy that straps bombs on its children and sends them to pizza parlors to blow up innocent people. And George Bush is the bad guy here? It's just damn sad that people don't understand who and what we're fighting and why we went to Iraq in the first place. As for America being a "better place".  You stinking socialists wish you had it so good.

Sorry to break it to you, but you're not going to get the answer that you want from the "I hate Bush" crowd here, hon.  They are completely brainwashed by the Mainstream Media.  Even the death of Al-Zarqawi means nothing to them b/c, clearly, it's all about Osama bin-Laden.

(raises hand)\nI support our troops, but not the war. It's not a war. I think we're just terrorizing another nation into doing what we want them to do. I don't watch the news anymore. I hate seeing that we're killing so many innocents and being killed because they want to live their own way. I really don't like bush. He handled this thing really badly. It would have been one thing to go into Iraq to get the person responsible for 9/11. But it's a completely different thing to go into their country, destroy their cities, kill and imprison civillians for no reason, and stay there until they meet our demands. I would not be suprised if they attacked us again cause we're asking for it.

Beleive in Bush? What is it, a new religion? Are you a freaking idiot, or what? I am guessing the former, and not the latter. I am not planning on arguing politics with someone that can't see past their mamma's teet, but this is the way it is - No one care about Islam because of what the idiots believe. If you haven't been downrange, if you haven't met the Iraqis and spent time with them, then you don't have a right to draw an oppionion. For all of you losers, that hide behind your F-'in computer screen talking about how this is all Bush's fault, and how American soldiers are 'killing innocent people', get off your fat lazy rears and go do what our soldiers are doing. Lazy disgraceful bums! No wonder Iraqis hate us so much. Who wouldn't hate a nation of disgusting fat, slobby people that think what they are TOLD to think, without actually know what the hell they are talking about!!! You are a bunch of disgusting, dispictable, lazy, arrogant mamma's boys! GET A FREAKING LIFE, LOSERRRRRSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!
