LIKE HELL YOU DIDN'T!!  Just look at your quotation above, you said clear
as day "that the reason a few people decide that terrorism is the best
path" is " that the USA has gone messing around in that part of the world
causing all kinds of problems and getting a lot of people angry" and
therefore it's foolish that "politicians are shocked" at the occurrence of
terrorism. I'm not putting words in your mouth that's what you said in
black and white and the implications of that load of stinking Bullshit are
crystal clear, terrorism is cause by the USA not being nice enough to
terrorists. What other conclusions can one draw from that? Obviously you
would prefer not to state it in those words, but dressing it up with pretty
language won't change the fact that you're trying to polish a turd.

Fine, call me out on it. I can defend my words but you can't defend yours
without looking even more foolish. I'm just using logic to see where you're
argument leads and if that is not a place you want to go that must be
because it's not your policy to use reason before you speak. So don't be
shocked if sometimes that policy causes you embarrassment.
