2. U.S. and western troops on the Arabian Peninsula
3. U.S. occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan
4. U.S. support of countries that oppress Muslims such as Russia, India and China
5. U.S. pressure on Arabs to keep oil prices low
6. U.S. support for tyrannical governments

Why Do They Hate Us? by Pat Buchanan

The struggle against terrorism cannot be won by military means
Robin Cook, Friday July 8, 2005, The Guardian

 


 

"Peace is always possible! . . . Violence begets violence. War must always be considered a defeat: a defeat of reason and of humanity.
Do not to give in to the logic of violence, vendetta, and hatred, but rather to persevere in dialogue.
Men soon make a spiritual and cultural leap forward to outlaw war!"
-- Pope John Paul II, Sep. 08, 2004
