Your view of the world seems to be shockingly narrow. Are you honestly stating that the hate of these terrorists is something innate that would be expressed anyway, and that they just happen to have picked on the USA for some reason? You need to take into account the reasons for the hate, and as wrong as the events of 9/11, the USA pretty much had it coming for a long time, and they just brought it upon themselves.

I think it's you that has the narrow view. You despise the USA so much that you find it possible to say 'they had it coming'.
Does the rape victim 'have it coming' because she wears a short skirt for a night out?
Nobody, but nobody, whatever they have done,
deserves to have this happen to them, just because someone else doesn't like the politics of their government.
How can you argue against the invasion of Iraq? Surely, by your measure, Saddam 'had it coming' too?
