[quote]On Einstein's 72nd birthday in 1951, UPI photographer Arthur Sasse was trying to persuade him to smile for the camera, but having smiled for photographers many times that day, Einstein stuck out his tongue instead. This photo became one of the most popular photos ever taken of Einstein and it is well recognized in popular culture, often used in merchandise depicting Einstein in a lighthearted sense.[/quote]

Why is it then that cancer rates rise dramatically in areas that were shelled heavily and among tank crews? Its also true in Serbia.
Robert Fisk also wrote a whole 200 pages about how depleted uranium has caused cancer rates to rise extremely quickly.
Jesus christ, I said the government deserves the terrorist attacks for all the shit they've caused. The American people don't deserve it. George Bush and the American media manipulated the people into thinking that America has never done anything wrong. Nobody stood up and said "hold the fuck on, we don't need to go bomb more homes in revenge, we should just pull out of the Middle East".

Pulling out of the Middle East isn't going to stop terrorist attacks.

Bin Laden specifically said constant US and western intervention in the Middle East is why the terrorist attacks happened. Go read his speech in regards to 9/11, it's right there.

Bin Laden controlled Al Qaeda, lots of other militant groups, and Al Qaeda, do terrorist attacks because of religion and race, and these have been on western civilisation.

It goes further in than that. You're making it seem like all he was simply asking was to be left alone.
You see, our government is the one who trained Bin Laden. Back during the Soviet-Afghan war, a group known as the Mujahideen was being armed by the United States in order to fight the Soviets. In that, the CIA trained the Mujahideen, which consisted of different Arab ethnicity, how to use things such as RPG's, stingers, and supplied them with various assault rifles, explosives, etc. The CIA trained them in areas such as improvised explosives, interrogation (specifically waterboarding (yes it existed and was used before the current Iraq / Afghan war) and electrocution).
Bin Laden wanted NATO out of the Middle East after the war was won, and quickly turned against the U.S. After the first Gulf War. The U.S. established permanent military bases in Iraq, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan, which pissed Bin Laden off even more.

Um... yeah it would. Most terrorist attacks are committed by people from the Middle-East, specifically countries that were occupied in some way by the US.

[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;36181823]Then why is it that civilians and innocents always get in the way?[/QUOTE]
Because it sends a stronger message than bombing politicians.
There are plenty of other factors that contribute to where terrorists come from other than the intervention of the US in the Middle East. Look at Pakistan; the government spends less than 5% of its budget on education. This means that families who can't send their kids to a state school end up sending them to a school run by a mosque. Now I am certain that the vast majority of mosque run schools in Pakistan are perfectly fine, but there have been several cases of these schools producing terrorists from the material that some of the schools preach to the children. If the Pakistani government spent more on schools and education, the number of children being influenced in this way would surely decrease. At the end of the day, the 'War on Terror' doesn't have to be fought all the time with missiles and tanks.

I love the style that videos in the 40s and 50s were made in. So much more informative that the government information videos we have today (in the UK at least).
