Steve,
I gave you a litany of western foreign policy interventions in which those western liberal values of yours were presumably at play, Keith. Can't say I'm surprised you ignored them.

You did Steve. Do you think Vietnam formed any part of the motivation of the killers? We did not even participate in it!

Or Chile? Or any of those other places on your list?
I do not, and the fanatics do not claim them as grievances either.

The fanatics say they hate us for our tolerance of things they hate and our belief in democracy.
Not Vietnam!
