This is a great article from Alternet. It is a harsh and honest look at the consequences of American Intervention in Sovereign nations, and in this case specifically the consequences of American war crimes abroad.
Snippet from Alternet, full artile can be found here http://www.alternet.org/world/can-america-come-terms-boston-bombing-suspects-stated-motives?page=0%2C1
The [Boston] bombings were in retribution for the U.S. crimes in places like Iraq and Afghanistan [and] that the victims of the Boston bombing were collateral damage, in the same way innocent victims have been collateral damage in U.S. wars around the world. Summing up, that when you attack one Muslim you attack all Muslims.
My experience with now-CBS-This-Mornings Charlie Rose is that he does listen closely. Thus, I believe it is to his credit that he seemed determined, with his follow-up question, to drive home what I think is by far the most important point:
Co-anchor Charlie Rose: Does it [the note] answer questions about motives?
Miller: Well it does
there it is in black and white literally.
Co-anchor Norah ODonnell: But they still believe he was self-radicalized and not part of a larger group, right?
Miller: Thats right.
