Why in the world would people hate this country so much that they need to bomb us?

And then I would go through the entire history of the U.S. involvement of the middle east. If you don't know this history I suggest you learn it, beginning with the British and French efforts to destroy the Ottoman Empire and take over Arab lands. The CIA backed both Saddam and Bin Laden. If you're not willing to dig deep and find real answers that are non-partisan, don't take my advice on this. Also this tactic is for long term discussion not suitable for an email squabble.

But on another note, Clinton jailed the perpetrators of the first WTC bombing. Bush used the second to justify a genocidal rape of Iraq for his oil buddies. That is the fundamental difference.
