I cow tail to no political party, I have my own views on this subject, and I do believe the west has got a lot to do with the reason people become terrorists, as with empires, there is always the subjugated and with that oppression. I like to attempt to put myself in another's position, and know the facts as they do, and there make my own conclusions as they may do to arrive at my own ideas and there see if I can understand a particular motivation. I also see religion to be at the root of all this aggression, people of a certain three with common ancestry arguing over ancient hearsay, whether it is religion that propels the action or the action that propels the religion, I am unsure as of yet, but the two are indefatigably entwined. Furthermore, I have lived in the middle east for short periods of time and have a perspective based upon my own observation, for they are people like us, just wanting to get on with life, live love and enjoy without the hassles that affect them as much as us, for many do not want to be the enemies of their friends just because politics says so.
