They hate us because we are free to be sinners if we want. They hate us because we allow women to be educated and show their faces. They hate us because we are wealthy despite our sinfulness (in their eyes). They hate us because our culture is spreading. They're just evil people full of hate for freedom. These morons are completely intolerant of anything that isn't part of their twisted view of Islam. That's why they kill people for teaching Christianity. That's why they destroyed priceless Buddhist monuments.
To say that we should change the way we are and who we support to avoid such attacks is like saying that we should stop earning money so we can't be robbed. Our support of Israel is the right thing to do and we should continue to do it. I do agree that we should stop trying to force Israel into peace since the person they are trying to negotiate with isn't even in control of the people causing the problems. Arafat clearly isn't their leader.
If we let just a few thousand people dictate how we should behave in the world for fear that they may try to terrorize us, we should just as well surrender to them and live under the same laws that the Taliban enforces.
