I think the notion that al Qaeda exists because of American oppression is wildly incorrect. Most of their attacks are not on American interests. The suspicion now is that they want to disrupt the oil industry, which would impact other areas of the world more than it would the U.S. al Qaeda wants to establish their brand of Islamic fundamentalism through the funding of hardliners in the Arabic world.
America does not oppress them, they want to oppress America.
(My hope is that we please do not let the progressive movement accidentally support fascism!)
