Why Americans think that they are innocent and they are the most affected people on the world by terrorism?

My answer is not going to be liked but.......Americans are self absorbed and greedy. They are a fast food, drive through pharmacy, no time to breath culture that has no respect for anything that does not prersonally effect them. They refuse to see the rest of the worlds struggles. Yes I am American but wow, how this country has gotten this way I don't know. When the bombing happend in England, I heard people say..."that was no 9-11 though" Absolutely ridiculous, death is death and struggle is struggle. There have been terroristic holy wars for decades that people refuse to see unless it is in their back yards. My opinion, agree or not.

It is:\n\n1.  Because America has the most.  Yes, jealousy.\n\n2.  Because America infringes on other countries the most.\n\nThey are an easy target for criticism, which may be a good thing.  In any case, the absolute truth is that there are no selfless countries out there.   There are no countries looking for a deeper meaning to life as their number one priority.\n\nMost of the people in this world have no idea what happens outside their village, let alone their country.  Most could care less, as well.  The truth is, it's just easier to criticize America.\n\nThat may be best though, because it's one of the few countries stable enough to handle the criticism and possibly learn from it.

Living in america u only get to hear one side of the story. the people over there r pissed off. what wud u do if some other country came into america n told u how to live ur life n run ur country? i am a muslim n lemme tell u, "terrorism" is not part of islam. islam literally means peace. the "terrorists" r a small group of idiots that believe they r true muslilms but all they do is give the rest of the muslims a very bad name. jus like the other guy that answered u was sayin how islamic countries do terrorise the world. this fool's obviously ignorant to the topic. just do some research goin bak to the late 70's early 80's. you'll see y osama bin laden is so pissed off at us... hope that helps... peace

Can some people be so blind to the flaws of this country. How can you believe we are so innocent. It's almost despicable to see the ignorance spewing out of some of these peoples mouths, how can they call themselves Americans when they just blindly support whatever leadership is thrown their way and every decision without any question. It almost makes me sick.

I think the government is corrupt and supports terrorist but I don't blame the people in general. The exact same thing can be said of america. I'm no more responsible for nor do I support my countries actions any more than most of the saudi citizens. So in other words come on over brother.

Most terrorists were just ordinary people like everyone else. Some of them endured pain while growing up and kept it inside. It's not greed on their part; but others who refused to accept them for some reason. Maybe, he or she was "different" and was not allowed to join any game when he or she was in grade school and at the same time, is abused at home. They grow, they snap, lose all morality and begin believing that they are "purging" the world; "ridding" us of the corrupt individuals that would be "the rest of us". Some just want to make a statement; to be noticed. Some believe that they are carrying a divine mission. But whatever they believe, it all started at some point early in life. There are usually 2 causes. They were too over-confident and began thinking that they were given the authority to rule over the rest; and the other is that people around them didn't care about them and they just need someone or everyone to notice them - cutting deep into them that there is no more hope for a cure. I feel sorry for them but I feel more sorry for the people that made them that way.

9/11 has given the leaders of the US an excuse to heighten in another era of fear.  Every day they tell us to fear - fear the terrorists, fear the immigrants, fear natural disasters, etc.  I am surrounded by people who are just plain scared, and that is very sad.  We are told that people who want to kill us for being Americans are everywhere, behind every rock. This is just not a happy situation to be in.  The only way to be happy is to realize most of it is not true.  \nAnother thing I've seen is that people are no longer allowed to criticize the government or point out any flaws that might exist without being labled as "anti-American" or "pro-terrorists."  We are being told by Bush and others that if we are not with him, we are against America.  This is just sick and wrong.  I live in the South and if I even mention that there are things I am uncomfortable with in our government, I get all kinds of angry responses.  I have friends who are teachers in the public schools who can't even mention that America has flaws without getting angry responses from parents and administration.  The US is truly worse off after 9/11, but not because of 9/11 itself.  It's because of how our leaders have reacted to 9/11.

The effects are simple. Once you get the American people on your side claiming the foreigners are terrorist. Which establishes racism among cultures like Muslims,Indians, etc.... Then you gain the path way to declare war on the so called "terrorist" which is nothing but a money bloodshed war. The only terrorist are the ones in the corporate offices, the white house, and the system. So now when common people walk the street they can't help, but feel scared walking and categorizing a turban to a terrorist. Terrorism is nothing, but a brainwashing technique to get americans on their side to support wars.

(Terrorists)Its just a word that the american use when they want to justify there unjustified cruel actions against any person or nation if they dont obey the usa gov orders.\n\nActualy the american and israeli armies r terrorising the whole world on a very big scale of terrorism.\nThey r comiting all action of terrorism every day,\n\nThey r invading other countries (usa invaded/ Iraq,Afganistan  \nisrael invaded/Palastine,Lebanon and Syria  ) \nand threatning others(Iran,Syria,S.Korea) .\n\nThey kill civilians,womens and kids everyday.(in Palestine ,Iraq and Afghanistan)\n\nThey own the biggest arsenals of all types of WMD and nuclear missiles and bombs and they r still developing it(america is the ONLY nation who used nuclear bombs against humanity and israel is the ONLY country that own nuclear wepons in the middle east  )

Terror is a mental state... I think Americans have lost it so they r perpetuating their deep-seated fears all over the world.  I tell you there is far greater humanity out here in third world despite all your wars and all the lunatics you have set lose here.  In terms of human quality people are any day better here than how you people come across over internet and through various other media.  Try it live in some country, mingle with the local population and you will feel the warmth.\n\nI agree there is poverty but we are certainly not mentally sick like you guys are.

The world is full of a bunch of low lifes...and moral trash... the same people who ciriticize the americans are the same cowardly dogs that put their tails between their legs, and did not want to get involved in IRaq. After all, let Saddam slaughter innocent people and destroy nations, it is not their problem that people are being persecuted by terrorists..We would be out of Iraq by now if we had gotten the right kind of help from these pig nations who were more worried about getting oil from sadaam than the slaugher of innocent men, women and children and global terrorism. \n\nanti-americanism is not acceptable....except to other terrorists...like the cowardly dogs that have no morals, that sit around and trash other people...\n\nI have decided I am an anti-european....because there is no one out there in europe, that is worth my respect.

murdering helpless civilians is terrorism, and we do it too by bombing villages the explosion doesnt ask for names whenit goes off ,,soo we are part of the problem ,also any government that kills to make a policy stick like the saddam regeme one of our best customers by the way,, America makes and builds and sells more weapons than any country in the world ,,so we evn indirectly help to spawn revolutions ,,and arm drug gangs ,,around the world,, and terrorists

People are different in their thinking and they will express themselves in a positive and negative ways.Terrorism is no different and he or she will do what it take to make their message across.America is a land of freedom but we have outside and homegrown terror isms.The homegrown is dangerous as well as the outside terrorism.Most of the time people mixed politics with religions,and most of terrorism's are religion fanatics   \nand they will kill themselves for their belief especially in the name of their God......In America we do witness the Christian right when they protest for abortion and now we are seeing the terrorism outside the U.S. We the American need to let our lawmakers know that our foreign policy needs to be in the middle.No more selling weapons and push the Arabs fight the Jewish.American has to stand tall in justice otherwise we have to fight these terrorism until the day we die.

I think it is a shame that people of ignorance judge other people because of a horrible act. People should not judge Muslims by the people who committed the horrible crimes of September 11th.

Yeah, Harry Truman is the world's worst terrorist followed closely by Bush, America is an international disgrace and we should be more like France where prosperity abounds and everyone is happy and peaceful.   (That's sarcasm, if you didn't realize)

Extremists who hate everything America stands for.  Run by people who want to build and use nuclear weapons. Hotbed of terrorism, which started with the abduction of the American hostages in 1980.  But still, we allow Iranians to come to our country to study, practice medicine and make better lives for themselves.  In gratitude, they want to kill us.  Nice people.  Warm and cuddly, huh?  How do you think we should think about you given your history and attitude toward the United States?
