"Had our government.... played the foreign policy game by our own rules, the rules from whence that same government derrives its authority, then the towers would still be standing."

Specially? What rules were broken? By whom? What course of action would left the western world safe and able to conduct commerce, thanks to affordable energy, but would have prevented these attacks? Any ideas? It seems you can type, and make words, but complete thoughts seem to be in short supply. Call me ADD but I supplied verifiable historic fact to back up my opinion. You supply neither facts, nor specific data to reinforce this notion that you have. Yes, we get it U.S. bad and evil, well the white ones anyway. People of color who kill random civilians are fine and noble, and were drawn into this murderous lifestyle by our actions. Now, just what actions, and who is to blame besides Cheney/Bush is where your theory kind of falls apart.
