There is no justification for the actions that were taken, but we have been involved over there long before those three events you mention specifically.

...and terrorism from the Middle East has gone on much longer than the examples I provided (do you need me to provide others?). I assume it is your recommendation we just build some sort of wall and keep to ourselves and don't go "meddling".

Regardless what you and others try to assert; we did not start the atrocities that take place in the middle east nor did we cause it to branch out. Your stance of what happens over there stays over there is not one I can share. Let them murder, rape, torture whoever they want as long as they keep to themselves and I remain ignorant of it. Unfortunately I do not have that luxury. I have seen the curtain pulled back.
