Because the radicals needed an enemy to build their ranks and power.

Exactly. The world changed when? The naive say 11 Sept 2001. But the world changed on 1 Aug 1990. We promised to leave and did not. Only then did Americans become targets - and only because we exasperated the problem. We did not leave as we had promised. American occupation of Saudi Arabia is specifically why bin Laden ended his crusade against communism in Yemen to take on a greater threat - United States.
What those with 'big dics' hope you don't do - learn from history. We promised to leave after doing what extremists so wanted - driving Iraq out of Kuwait. (Remember the lie about bin Laden and Saddam being enemies?) Then we did not leave. We only became a new target - having replaced the USSR in Afghanistan, communists in other nations, secular Middle East governemnets, and Saddam in Kuwait. It "exacerbates the security problems" – as Gen Dannatt so accurately noted in direct contradict to American ‘big dics’ who say “Stay the Course”, “Road forward”, and “Mission Accomplished”.
Notice your perspective or bias was completely ignored. That perspective is 100% irrelevant. Posted is from a perspective that matters - what Muslim Brotherhood sees. Same concept was defined back in 2002. Notice the Muslim Brotherhood who was actively attacking Assad in Syria and Sadat in Egypt suddenly had a new enemy after 1 Aug 1990: America. And then we made it even worse because we stupidly believed preemption from Project for New American Century. Cheney et al believe we must “secure
our oil”.

24 million more to be recruited to Muslim Brotherhood the longer we remain.
We were attacked only after we lied and did not leave. There is no universal world wide terrorist organization. Iraqis, et al are only doing what any decent American would do in the same situation. Do you think Abu Ghriad is an exception? Abu Ghriad accurately reflects ‘big dic’ American government attitude and objectives.
xoxoxoBruce, you are doing just what ‘big dics’ want. You are promoting fear and you are completely ignoring the facts. We exasperate the problem only because we liberated people who did not want to be liberated. Radicals need an enemy. American 'big dics' in the White House provide what they need. 1 Aug 1990 – when the world changed. But then xoxoxoBruce, how many years must I keep repeating that date – 1 Aug 1990 – so that myths from White House ‘big dics’ are exposed as lies.
