I am not defending terrorists’ methods, but I understand their motivations…

I wrote this article a while ago…ok this time I am going to talk about politics…some of you might not share my point of view, but well, I really needed to express myself on that controversial subject…I think that too many of us don’t realize that the simple citizen is always going to pay for our politicians’ mistakes…feel free to comment, but please always with respect. Thank you.
PS: my views are anti Bush oriented, but in NO WAY anti American. I have mad love for American folks, so please don’t misquote me.

It is shocking to hear about terrorists plans about blowing up underground stations, busses or planes. I think that there are no words to express how much I hate the thought of hundreds, maybe thousands of innocents dying for nothing and to realize that I could be one of them.
I find suicide bomb attempts horrific in their whole dimension. I find it scary that Al Quaeda employs a lot of young brainwashed people in order to accomplish their despicable « duty ».
Yes, those are huge crimes against humanity and I have always hated injustice.
However, without condoning the terrorist’s plans, I really understand their motivations behind those horrible acts.
When you realize the mess dictators like Bush and Blair cause in Iraq and the way they treat Iraqi citizens, you cannot feel comfortable with that.
People have been raped and killed by US Army soldiers who had been commanded to do so.
Do you find it normal that people were humiliated in their faith while people threw Holy Qurans in the toilets?
How would you react if somebody attacked the fundaments of your faith or spirituality?
From what I understand about all the bloody wars in the Middle East, there is always Bush’s hegemony will over those countries mischievously masked by the word « democracy ».
Bush is a monster. He is nearly as horrible as Hitler. His torture methods are inspired from the Nazis. You don’t believe me? Did you know that hardcore rappers’ music was used at a very high level of sonority in order to make them prisoners talk? That’s exactly what the Nazis did in their concentration camps, using prisoners to play Richard Wagner’s music, while other prisoners were humiliated, forced to work like slaves, and eventually killed.
Now, I’d like to appeal to the terrorists’ conscience. I know you hate Bush and Blair. I perfectly know that. But do you think that it is justified for you to kill thousands of innocent people who are struggling to feed their families of who are simply visiting family members in the USA?
I do think that your actions are in no way justifiable. If I was in your place, I’d target the White House or Buckingham palace, but not average people who are in no way responsible for the stupid politicians’ foreign policies.
I have always respected people from different confessions. I am in no way a Bush nor a Blair supporter…so why should I die in the tube for their stupid foreign policies?
Think twice about your actions…and get a clue!
