Capitalist Pig, it's clear that you have a closet hatred for US soldiers and that kind of stuff makes you look like an anti-American moron. There are a lot of hippies stinking up campus but I would love to see you pussies go to Iraq or Afghanistan and make nice with Muslims who hate you as much as they hate me. I don't think you have a right to criticize soldiers when you have NO clue what they go through.

Okay, so why aren't they attacking Switzerland or Norway, which are wealthier in per capita GDP than we are? Why did they choose instead to attack Spain, a country much poorer than those other two nations? Could it be because Spain was allied with us going into Iraq? Perhaps! In fact, if you look at all countries that have been attacked by foreign terrorists, you will see they had an active military policy of assisting us in the Middle East. London, Madrid, both were attacked. They both were our allies going into Iraq. There is a correlation. If it's because they attack since we're rich and free, why, again, aren't they attacking wealthier citizens in Norway? Switzerland has more personal freedom than Americans do, so why aren't they attacking them? What do they gain in assaulting Spain?? Obviously because Spain had an active role in the occupation of Iraq. Nuff said.

Hey Capitalist Pig, Bin Laden attacked us because muslims in the middle east see us as an evil nation because in the Qu'ran it says that the muslim nations should be the most prosperous nations and since they aren't and America is they see that as a threat. Thats why the holy war started. Get your facts straight.

Why all the rush to endless war? Our country is the most destructive nation on the planet and we place blame on our victims for trying to defend themselves. It's crazy where our government is taking us.

Wow Mr. Pelster..9/11 happened because we weren't aggressive enough in the 1990's?? Apparently Pelster is oblivious to the foreign intervention by Clinton. You should really read the justifications given by those who attacked us on 9/11. None of them are because we're rich or free, or even that we didn't have a sufficient military presence around the globe. In fact, the reasons why bin Laden attacked us were because of our military presence in the Middle East and the bombing of a Muslim nation [Iraq] for a decade.

But apparently that wasn't enough action by Mr. Pelster. Perhaps nuking a country instead is sufficient since apparently occupying nations, building military bases, and bombing countries, don't qualify for 'adequate military response'.

Another terribly misinformed individual. Such a shame..
