Because they hate us for our freedom, right!?
On a more serious note, that's the myth I'm trying to expose with this thread. There's no creditable threat out to "get" America.

Anyway...
No actually I think they hate our government because we interfere where we have no business interfering.
Iran who used to be our best buddy when the Shah was in charge, but became our enemy back in the seventies when after the Shahs corruption became to much to take he was deposed and then the CIA assassinated their democratically elected leader . Which perpetrated the hostage situation the demise of Carter and the burning of American flag in Islamic countries began.
In spite of this provocation they did not declare war on us, but they did end up fighting our proxy Saddam Hussein in a useless 6 year war where the US served as arms broker and which cost hundreds of thousands of lives and drove Iran into the arms of the Soviet Union and became their proxy.
Obviously the Bush Regimes Pax Americana , pathetic diplomatic skills and inability to separate reality from hubris has exasperated the situation to the point where there are so so many more people willing to kill themselves to get at us, than before 9/11 that eventually, yes, I think they will succeed again on US soil.
Al Qaida, the boogeyman or whatever, a credible threat to actually attack us militarilly

Of course not.
A credible threat to turn the streets of America into Baghdad central like the fear mongering Bush Regime believes they are preventing by curtailing our civil liberties and raping the constitution

Of course not.
