    Sure, if the British use Obama's counting method where everyone who lived in the same compound as a terrorist was counted as a terrorist.

    At propaganda, it sure seems like it.

    that's ridiculous. If Assad / the Russians are bombing and killing civilians in the fight against their enemies = evil, but if the US / Saudis are bombing civilians in combat, are the opponents to blame?

    Sorry ... both are disgusting! And I do not even want to start on the American hypocrisy in dealing with the Saudis!

    Is your Google broken?

    "“one of the reasons we’re so ineffective is that they’re using them as human shields. The other thing with terrorists—you have to take out their families. When you get these terrorists, you have to take out their families. They care about their lives—don’t kid yourself. But they say they don’t care about their lives. You have to take out their families.” - Donald Trump

    So when the Irish terrorists started bombing London in the 1980's a quick napalm strike on Belfast would have stopped them and saved thousands of lives?

    If we are so evil why do so many arabs want to be in America?

    So they can hate us up close and personal?

    Yeah... picking up a rifle when the US air force blows up your house with a stealth fighter really sounds like you would make a difference.

    your source reads:
    In Osama Bin Laden's November 2002 "Letter to America",[3][4] he explicitly stated that al-Qaeda's motives for their attacks include: Western support for attacking Muslims in Somalia, supporting Russian atrocities against Muslims in Chechnya, supporting the Indian oppression against Muslims in Kashmir, the Jewish aggression against Muslims in Lebanon, the presence of US troops in Saudi Arabia,[4][5][6] US support of Israel,[7][8] and sanctions against Iraq.[9]

    You missed the point, I'd have picked up my rifle before the Canadians were needed.

    you missed my point that picking up a rifle when the army shoots at you with a tank or jet aircraft is just acting like a dodo.

    What needs to stop is the America bashing.

    You seem to not get the point. The other poster said that one motive was US troops in Muslim lands and you said wrong. I then copy the part of the link that verifies he was right and you were wrong on that point. Your response was to post all the other motives which is besides the point.

    It also makes you a dead person? The guy who said 'I don't agree with what you say but I'll defend to the death your right to say it,' was only joking.

    It wouldn't have stopped anything. Nuking two Japanese cities certainly did.

    Those people just got killed by Assad or ISIS. And when you leave your wife with 3 young children behind like that during a war is just acting insanely.
