Why did Islamists attack America on September 11, 2001? They did not do it because they were poor and hopeless. These terrorists were all either from wealthy or middle-class Arab families. The attack on America came from a belief in Islam and their hatred for America.

President Obama – a Bin Laden lesson: real heros don’t like the limelight
by Skip
Real heros don’t like to be called “hero”. They look at what they’ve done with the attitude of “just doing my job” and sometimes have a hard time even accepting thanks for their actions for which many of us are thankful. After all, they reason, we signed up to do what we do – we simply do what we said we’d do. Even still, I will often thank a veteran for their service (or a family member who has (or had) someone in our Armed Forces as well) – it is deserved. Yet, when people thank me for the service of the Eldest and the Youngest, I feel embarrassed to a degree in that I have done nothing – they are the ones that risked themselves for us all.
President Obama, that is a lesson you have not yet learned – to put away the “I” and “Me” and “My” words:
Instead, you should have been overusing the words “those heros” or “our heros” and give credit where credit was REALLY due – but you didn’t. You have taken credit, major credit, for making the decision and for the success of the raid that ended up with OBL dead. Well, thanks for saying “Go” – but that should have been viewed as just part of your job, too. You risked nothing, except a political standing. The SEALS and the air crews – they risked it all for their nation and for meting out justice to one who justice was delayed for far too long.
