A terrorist attack on the 11th anniversary of the twin towers attack, or just more killings by savage mobs of an intolerant religion?

In the Mail today an article states how stupid the West was to go into place like Libya, Aghanistan and Iraq. No thought had been given to the competing religions. In Iraq we disabled the Sunnis so the Shias took over. In Libya we defeated Gaddafi and his supporters and now they are looking for revenge.
Personally I don't think its about the twin towers more to do with the elimination of al qaeda leaders recently by drone attacks. The film was just an excuse although they seem to take offence at anything to do with Islam.

I wonder had America, Britain not interfered in any of these countries we would have had 9/11 and 7/7 in London.

The Afghanistan conflict started on Oct 7 2001, was in retaliation for the Twin Towers attack that took place on Sept 11 2001.

The involvement in Libya was at the request of those trying to overthrow Gadaffi.

And if I remember right we were also welcomed at first by those trying to overthrow Saddam Hussein in Iraq.

Just goes to prove what a unreliable and fickle lot they really are.

we have been in Afghanistan before, a long time ago perhaps, but we didn't fare any better then than we have now. Time to remove our troops, personnel from all of these countries, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq, indeed anywhere across the Middle East, then they don't have a stick to beat us with. Our soldiers in Afghanistan are being killed by those inside, those they have trained, the Afghani police and soldiers, what hope is there going to be for a good resolution to the conflicts there for our troops. We should not interfere in others politics, if they want democracy or don't, let them get on with it.
