Brian McGlinchey's article is very informative. So many people say the people in Muslim Countries hate us for our freedom and equality. That is not the case. They hate the US for its support for Israel which commits ethnic cleansing against Palestinians and Israeli Arabs, repeatedly invades Lebanon and refuses to return the Golan Heights to Syria and the US and UK bombed Iraq from the No Fly Zones after the Gulf War ended and before the Iraq War began and declared war on Iraq despite the fact there were no WMD's and Iraq was not involved in the 9/11 attacks in the US.

Thank you for this well written and well-sourced piece. Our press has, since 9/12/2001, avoided an informed, rational discussion of the reasons for the attacks. I read/heard somewhere (Scott Horton, I believe) that one motivation was that the US had air force bases in Muslim holy lands and never removed them after promising to do so. In any event, I appreciate any detailed, well-sourced discussion regarding the motivations for the 9/11 attacks. Again, thank you. ~Steve, Richmond, VA
