Quote:To answer your first question, I do think that the "final nail in the coffin" so-to-speak was the attack on 9/11. Events that happened after that are directly a result of us finally saying "enough is enough" regarding terrorist attacks. As far as the causes leading up to us declaring the War on Terror, what immediately comes to my mind is the <a class="bbc_url" href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_hostage_crisis'>hostage crisis in Iran</a>. However, there were events leading up to that which are really the root cause. It basically boils down to predominately Muslim countries choosing a government that follows religious (in this case Sharia) law. As the world became more "Westernized" there were some that were so much against what "Westernized" was really all about.


To answer your second question, that's pretty difficult. At what point should we impose and enforce our version of Freedom on other countries? As an example, because a certain country and their people think that women should have to dress a certain way (<a class="bbc_url" href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hijab'>hijabs</a>) or outlaws gay activity with the consequence of death. Does that mean that we need to invade them and "fix" their country? I would say no. However, if a country harbors people (including their own government) that want to kill us or our allies because we don't follow their beliefs, then I have a problem with that.



1. Why?


2. I can agree with this, but what's the point? He did it as he was committing the crime.


3. Only one was a migrant, the other was a citizen.


4. So is there any reason that they shouldn't have been allowed asylum prior to the bombing? After all, both migrated here at a young age.

1.) cultural antithesis.


2.) he did it several times before the attack that contributed to the FBI investigations and reports by his coworker. Any of those incidents should have lead to his termination as a defacto government contractor. Due to his profession he had a gun license higher than CC that would have shielded him from most gun restrictions being proposed.


3.) demonstrable proof our vetting sucks.


4.) cultural antithesis.


There are enough people in this country with problems we can't pay for.
