To compound your error by saying "You watch the two towers fall and you tell me that recruiting people to do that is no different to the US or the UK recruiting people to fight against terrorism!" is highly offensive because I *HAVE NOT* nor would *EVER* say such a thing.

Wilkinson is talking specifically about al Qaeda using the attack as propaganda and recruitment to their cause.
You then accuse western governments of doing the same, that is using the attacks as propaganda and recruitment to their cause.
You compound this by continuing to equate deliberate attacks on civilians by terrorists with indirect deaths from war.
Recruiting someone to deliberately attack civilians is totally different to recruiting someone to fight terrorism.
