American Policies that Provoke Terrorism :: Threats to World Peace

The events that occurred on September 11, 2001 were horrific, unjust, and inhumane. As awestruck as these events be, they are not unexplainable. Without a doubt those who committed the acts were playing irrationally, but one must question what brought these people to this point of desperation, much(prenominal) that they would par meet in a mass murder suicide mission. The U.S.s involvement in the Middle East may shed few light on the sources of this desperation. U.S. policies in the Middle East are disputable and in most instances unjust.

The U.S. should take on a neutral role so that there is a true possibility of creating a permanent peace. By furnishing weapons to the Israelis, we too are responsible for the mass murdering of Palestinians. Although, the U.S. government favors creating a Palestine state, greater open U.
