So the terrorists hate us because we use drones?
I could buy that, except for the fact that we're using the drones as a reactionary tool. What first caused America to have to go on the defensive?
The folks that hate us because we have killed civilians in their countries are not interested in trying to understand our point of view.
Unfortuantely, although capable of doing so, we are unwilling to look at deeper issues and better understand how they think.
I understand that, too.
But seriously, (and I'm asking this because I don't know) we didn't go into these countries just because we could. What were the underlying reasons early on?
I'm not referring to 9/11, either.
I did, and it prompted my response.
No wonder you are having trouble with the question, you can't seem to answer it.
Assume all you wish, and at the end of the day what will be left is your assumption.
How about one y'all just answer the question instead of trying to play head games. Why do you think terrorists hate Americans?
O-I-L and other chances to enrich our coffers.
His question implies it is America's fault, and although not from him...
Then allow me to retort. What does Marcellus Wallace look like?
Wh--what??
Answer me this, and then let's get back on topic.
If I am at fault for something, does it stand to reason I deserved whatever I got?
Like, if I provoke a fight with someone and they beat the crap out of me, it's my fault, so did I deserve getting beat up?
I think once you guys can answer that question clearly, you can get off the fault/deserved argument.
WC's response was valid, as your question implies it must be America's fault.
It is blatantly obvious they think America deserves it.

No hidden subtext, I'm asking for your opinion about terrorist's motivation.

Wrong. We did all that. Then we toppled the regime(s) that were oppressing them. Then we proceeded with the "fix" part of our "bomb and fix" status quo. That's the part where we normally mess everything up.
But hey, we've gotten better at the "bomb" part of the equation.
Except you got it backwards. Bergdahl was very likely committing a crime whereas Tahmooressi was not
That's determined by the circumstancesAs someone who has claimed to be in the military, could you answer a question for me: What's the SOP for transporting firearms by land?
Just the basics -- locked away or loose, safeties on or off, ammo separate or with the weapons...
The country of Mexico disagrees with you.
