Why Do People Hate the USA

[Nic Name]

That's why I'm confused. Don't bomb a place because you think it's better than what you have.

I see that of all the reasons given by others, you are most comfortable with the view that the root cause of the attacks is that they think we're better than they are. Well, frankly, they don't think we're better, and that wasn't their motivation ... so don't try to make sense of the terrorist attacks from that analysis.

There is nothing that could justify terrorism.

You seem to ask, "What causes terrorism?"

And then respond, "Well, that doesn't justify terrorism."

If you were to ask, "What justifies terrorism?"

The answer should be, "Nothing."

If you were to ask, "What causes terrorism?"

There are many answers.

That Americans are better than everyone else, isn't one of them.
