"As a Canadian I am sorry!"
How... ignorant! All this is off topic, but your post is so ignorant that I have to respond.
In this post I'll list some of the things the US have done to the arab world, I don't mean to offend anyone, I know the American leaders don't represent to thinking/aware part of the population.
First, Israel - the American support enables the Israeli to be as ruthless as they are. Think civilian victims every second week.
The US has done more than that to the world. I talked to an friend origining from the Middle East just after 11/9. He said that the entire arab world hates the US (something I don't believe). He had a 10-15 minute list of offenses the US had done to it.
Like helping Saddam Hussein get to power (CIA!) in Iraq, in Iran they were instrumental in the fall of the democratic/parlamentic regime, they help the Saudi regime staying in power with their support.
I too, like most of the Canadians, believe the US are to take some responsibility for the attacks on them.
And I too think it's cowardly attacking civilians - the attack was cowardly. Then you can argue that the Americans are somewhat responsible for the very frequent attacks on civilians in Israel due to their support, and very responsible for the losses of civilian life in their attacks on civilians in Afghanistan.
And, was it in Jordania (?) a few years ago that they attacked a drug factory with cruise missiles believing it was a factory for the manufacturing of biologic weapons? More innocent losses of civilian life in the Middle East due to the US.
Those attacks are cowardly, and done by Americans. And the list can be made much longer.
Actually I'm listening to Swedish radio now. They ask people in the street (I think it's some in Stockholm and some in New York): "do you believe Usama bin Laden or president Bush are responsible for the most civilian losses?". All Swedes who were to respond had to think a while before they answered Usama, but they had to ponder it a while. When someone is so ignorant as you are not seeing the entire picture, just seeing "~we are the good guys" - I get *so* offended.
The US had & have created some resentment among the people in the Middle East, and that in some circles appears to manifest itself as hatred. The Americans ought to be aware of at least some of their (former) actions, to think that the US is totally innocent is *very* ignorant.
