what about the train bombings in Spain?

Morality isn't decided by a majority vote, its decided by your conscious.
St. Augustine said, "an unjust law is no law at all."
I'm obligated to resist unjust laws through violence or civil disobedience. You should pray I choose the latter.

Spain's least of terrorist worries are the muslims, they have a way bigger issue with the ETA

Over 50% of people voted for bush, twice! I think this shows that a proper education is needed for americans, like this veteran, who seemed to be unaware of what war was before he joined it. Why did he go to war? you'd think that after WW2 people would know what war was. Well, at least germany knows what it is and stay the fuck out of it. Also the last 20 seconds of that speech reminded me of hitler, heh.

Some really unecessary statements. Most of the people on this site weren't even old enough to vote back during the elections involving Bush. Why you gotta point fingers at people, yeah the war is some stupid shit but wtf. Yes a lot of Americans drive suvs, but people all around the world wear clothing made in swet shops where people are enslaved, people all around the world buy diamonds that may have come from Sierre Leone in Africa, etc etc. Ignorance and greed is spread all over the globe, you're just saying a bunch of statements that are unecessarily grouping people together and causing more hatred.

Anyways its not like we were attacked by terrorists, then elected Bush so we can wage war, then went to war. People elected Bush, we were attacked by terrorists, then we were like wtf what happened? Bush said we're going to war, our congress said "uh no we're not" then Bush said "Fuck you we're going to war."

it's not electoral college bullshit. It's called 50% voter turnout bullshit

I'm tired of this "they hate us for our freedom" crap. You'd have to be incredibly ignorant of foreign affairs to buy into that nonsense. Islam has been under an assault by the western world for quite some time and terrorist attacks are a reaction of that. One country in particular stands above others as the most egregious offendor, whose actions are so despicable they have all but destroyed any hope for peace for the next 100 years.

Now I'm no history buff so I'm not totally sure what you assholes did, but knock it the fuck off or expect more embassy bombings. Actually I won't lie. It was nice to see people burning a flag that wasn't American for a change.

Lol are you serious? Learn some history dude, Islam has been at war with the west for like 500 years now. Bomb an embassy and kill people over a cartoon, is that justifiable by your logic? The west is going down the drain fast
