So Old I'm Losing Radiation Signs

So turn off the cable TV news and listen to NPR instead.
It's much better, no commercials, and a lot less "noise". Screw Fox and MSNBC, cable news is the pits.
I'm talking about how bombing a charity marathon is now the inevitable byproduct of American foreign policy and how it radicalized these kids. Except that's bullshit because they didn't experience any American aggression, and were taken care of pretty well in the US it seems.
Something else is the root of the radicalism here. If terrorism is the inevitable response to American aggression why is it the Japanese, Korean, Viet Namese or Filipinos never bombed marathons?
People need to stop being in denial about radical strains (not all or mainstream) Islam. These guys need to get laid more I think, because the whole bombing people because of cartoons mentality make them look kind of nutty. Cartoons!

I never mentioned blame or rednecks, and could care less one way or the other.Sander said:I didn't really read that in this thread, but that's not really the point we were talking about either. That was about directly blaming right-wing, conservative Christians for the bombings -- which didn't happen.Cimmerian Nights said:Dude, it didn't take long for this thread to devolve into the usual pedantic litany (from founding fathers' slaves, Kissinger, Dresden? and NASA's culpability for starving African kids) of American transgressions, and how they are responsible for radicalizing these poor victims. Turns out these suspects were taken into America as Chechen refugees, taken care of pretty well, given scholarships, lived in Cambridge, the most liberal and welcoming city in the country.
Some serious denial here about what is the root of the radicalization.
There's also a point that acknowledging that there are a lot of factors that lead to America becoming a target, some of those factors being of American making, does not mean that you're "blaming" the USA.
