Actually, there is an important question here:

If as is stated in the video (by reputable sources) AQ attacked the US on 9/11 because of 'the Palestinian problem', why isn't the US changing it's policy of support for Israel?
Because AIPAC is very powerful.
So the opinions of a lobby group are more important than national security?
The jewish lobby control america. You cannot be president of America unless you support AIPAC. The jewish lobby is what americans should be scared of,not sharia law ccoming in, but zionists controlling ever aspect of Ameriacn law.

The reason of this post was because a lot of Americans i have asked on others forums why America was attacked on 9/11, most of them would say "the terrorists hate Americas freedom/way of life, which is entirely nonsense and hiding from the truth.

i also agree, talking with a group like Al Qaeda is not on the cards. the taliban,hamas and other militia groups should be sat down and talked to, just like in Northern Ireland to disarm them.Al Qaeda are on a different level . Its possible but EVERYONE must talked to and no isolated, Like whats being done to hamas at the moment

Al Qaeda does hate the US and Western way of life, because it doesn't conincide with their idea's. Plus sitting down and talking wiht them will never work, onyl thing I would advise in that situation is to organise a meet with one of the high ranking individuals and then take him down as soon as he appears. These people would rather blow themselves up than talk.

i said you can't talk with Al Qaeda but can with other smaller groups. Do they hate the america "way of life". Maybe so, but that wasn't the reason they attack america on 9/11, as is being said by many Americans.

I do know what dole is, but the reason I'm on a lot of the time is because I'm a student and I'm rarely required to go anywhere.

I'd say the reason behind the 9/11 attacks was a combination of hatred of the US way of life not coinciding with theirs, and that countries such as Saudi Arabia are very much influcenced by the US interests. Something whihc I doubt they like the idea of very much either.

i wasn't saying it to you, but FatherTed as he was saying i can't debate or something.

i watched this documentary on youtube, can't find it, but about bin laden. How he wanted to spread his radical views, which is not  islam but his own, since the 90's. He bombed a country in Africa to get western attention. the reason he wanted the west to get attention so that his views would get more support from his own people. he did hit america hard on 9/11. America responded by invading 2 Muslim nations. the support of bin ladden is rising and thats what he wanted

i know i don't make much sense but if i find this link i will post it.

Why is it obtainable? Everything is obtainable if you're willing to take the neccessary actions.


In AQ's case, the neccessary actions are 'by any means, including violence'.


In the US's case, the neccessary actions are 'sitting round the negotiating table'.
So, basically, you're saying we should convert to Islam to appease them.  Sorry, no thanks.

Keep in mind that Christian Zionists have more power here than Jewish ones.  The average Jew here might support Israel, but most Jews I know were against the Iraq War, for example.  The Dispensationalists are the true nutcases with power in America.  They resemble Islamists in their crazed fervor for their religion, but thankfully, they aren't as powerful here as the Islamists are in places like Saudi Arabia.

As for talking with AQ...  not gonna happen.

No, where did I say that?

Negotiating doesn't mean giving in to all their demands, it's means sitting down, talking and trying to reach a compromise.

The problem with the 'no negotiation' mind-set is that it is exactly the same as the terrorists attitude.

Both sides are working from a position where only and exactly what they want is acceptable - both sides want to win in a situation where neither can.

Compromise seeks to find a win-win solution.

What about AQ even hints at their willingness to negotiate in the manner you suggest?

I can't find a link, but there was a news story some months ago about someone connected with AQ saying that the leaders of AQ, including OBL, are willing to talk.

The equivalency is that they're terrorists. The cause is irrelevant. I use the IRA as an example because it's the one I know the most about, but there are others - the PLO, ETA and the ANC for example - all cases of where negotiation worked.

As Pug mentioned earlier, the cause DOES matter.  If the cause is insane and impossible to fulfill, then no negotiation is possible.  AQ has no interest in peace, and I really don't understand what makes you feel otherwise.  There really is no evidence to support your view on this, because the analogies you've given are not relevant.

You'd have to provide evidence that AQ specifically wants peace via a feasible demand.

No, the analogies do stand - the IRA demands were 'insane and impossible to fullfil' - there was never any way that Northern Ireland was going to be given back to the republic.

How do you know AQ has no interest in peace?

They offered Europe a truce after the Madrid bombing.

Is a truce not peace?

It sounds more like an ultimatum.  Is a surrender not peace?
