Self induced (Score 1)

What has changed is that over the past 20 or so years, our government has bribed the leaders, financially ruined, financed revolts, caused starvation of citizens, declared bogus war on, killed tens of thousands of citizens of many oil rich countries all for gaining access to oil reserves. This kind of thing tends to make people hate you, perhaps after a while, even seek revenge against you any way possible. This is what the U.S. government is calling "terrorism". Perhaps it is now real, perhaps it is smoke to keep the U.S. citizens from seeing what is really going on in this country's affairs.
