Another terrorist attack in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Few people in the media, and the public, if any discuss the reason for that terror which is sweeping the four corners of the world. And the few who do, say it is because they HATE us, Americans and they envy us. They never discuss why do they hate and envy us and never think if hate or envy is really the root cause for the terror they inflict on the world.
But let's think about it. Terrorism, in its current form (i.e. by fanatics of Islamic groups), started almost two decades ago. And it started in the Arab countries mainley Algeir, Egypt, Sudan, Yemen and Jordon. All of whom are Muslim countries. Did they hate these countries too? did they hate their own countries and people? When they profilerated allover the world, they terrorized Indonesia, Chechniya, Turkey and other Muslim countries before they turned upon us. Does this pattern of people attacking their own people in their own countries have any hint of hate or envy? why would they hate their own people and countries and how can they envy them while they know for sure that all their countries and people are really miserable and in the lowest possible state of affairs? The answer is simple: it is not Hate not it is Envy. It is the policies these countries are following and the direction in which they are going.
When they failed to achieve the change they wanted in their own countries, they turned on the powers that support the regimes in those countries. The root cause still the same, it is just different target.
We got targeted because we support corrupt, tyranic and expansionistic regimes in the Muslim world in general and in the Arab World in particular. They don't Hate us or Envy us, they hate our policies and foolishly think by attacking us they can change their countries. It is a foolish way of thinking, and we got ourselves involved in it. Can we wise up and extricate ourselves from their miss. Let's leave them alone and let's pay out attention to our own issues at home.
Those regimes are not doing us any good. They only bring their curse on us. Our interests are best served if we don't interfer in others' affairs. They attack us because we support corruption and occupation. We will do the same if anyone supported corruption in our country or an occupier of any of our lands.
It makes sense, doesn't it?
But that is just me,
