However, I can't fathom a direct link between "nurturing" and "worst attack on US soil" - in fact, these two points are directly antithetical by nature. This is exactly the MMQB issue. You can tie all sorts of actions to the eventual environment from which the action springs, but these are NOT directly causal, nor should they be considered the basis for 'fault' - to think otherwise really requires you to drink the Kool-Aid, not to mention piss on any notion of personal responsibility or appropriate response.

Hear me out then.... if you "nurture" and train Islamic militants to fight an ideological foe on the foundation of religion; why should it be a surprise if they also judge the US in the same harsh and fanatical light that they judged the Soviets? Afterall who encourage foreign Muslims to come and fight in Afghanistan because of the plight of their Muslim "brothers"? The US encouraged a fundamentalist Islam that thought and fought globally...
