I am watching 60 minutes...and someone I respect is doing the interviews....Christiane Amanpour.
She asked 'rich', educated, college Pakistani students a few questions. They said they have a soft spot for bin Laden...while they do not support his extremism, they do feel the anger bin Laden feels and kind of admire him for taking action.
Again, they do NOT support terrorism. They want to come to America to study and advance their lives and the lives of their people.
But like they say, we have ignored the plight of Muslims around the world, using them and leaving them with the aftermath of wars fought on their land.
It hurts me deeply to know that many of the people I have worked with, laughed with, etc., have been feeling this way.
We are hated for good reason, not because we are rich and better off..
..we are hated because we have not lived up to our promises.
These are the seeds of a long, protracted, ineffective war on terrorism.
