I apologize if I made it sound as if Operation Ajax was the sole reason for 9/11. It most certainly was not. What I was trying to point out was that from the beginning of Middle Eastern terrorism, it has been our foreign policy that has created such a hatred of America. I agree with you, we surely cannot ignore terrorist acts against our nation. However, if we simply ignore 'why' they commit the terrorist acts, then we are doomed to forever fight them. We must come to grips with our own transgressions.
