Honestly though, I think 9/11 happened just because America is the "big dog" in the room. Not because of any of our foriegn policys.

Kasz... In physics they say "each action has an equal and opposite reaction." Buddhists call it karma, Christians call it sowing and reaping. It's the implication of the Golden rule that what you do to others WILL be done back to you. And the CIA calls it blowback. The unintended consequences of our aggressive foreign policy is aggression back towards us. 9/11 (and Iran's nuke program, etc) was not because we're the "big dog," but because we keep biting all the other dogs.

 Isn't Iran's nuke program aimed primarily at Israel?
