After 9/11 and some would say before, America became what some would call "World Police". Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and rumors of war and little skirmishes around the rest of the world.
We have made Terrorist, despite what they say in videos and other propaganda, afraid of the United States. So what do they do? They attack our friends and neighboring countries so that they can still get their point across, but stay away from our Wrath. The only problem is that every other country suffers. Sure, America is safe, but what about our allies who have to bear the brunt of terrorism for us?
I just think the World would have been better off without America policing it.
What are you thoughts?

Your bias in this thread is showing. It is like you are asking a question...when in reality you are making a statement. This is a very passive aggresive tactic...which when it concerns games and movies is kind of silly...but when it concerns politics and religion and war it is dangerous.
I really hope this thread dies a swift death since I don't think there is much good that can come from it here. There are plenty of people, figures, countries, religions, concepts to point the finger at...but in no way is this a result of "The Americans."

that some serious denial right there. americans do a lot of good but also a lot of bad. some of the blame lies with them. most of it lies with the people carrying out the atttacks and some of it lies with the countries being attacked. Nobody is innocent.

I'm definitely not in denial, trust me. I'm very well aware of what our tactics do around the world and I'm certainly not condoning such behavior. I was against the Iraq war and marched in many protests. I'm more taking exception with the creation of a thread which looks to simply blame "the americans" as if it's that easy. There are far greater factors involved...much too many to really get a grip on in a forum thread. I think any behaviors on the part of terrorists lie soley on the shoulder of the terrorists. It's one thing to participate in this world to make it a better place...it's another to walk into a building and kill people in cold blood. You can't blame the Americans anymore than you could blame any other country, religion, ideology, etc, etc.
