    Showing ignorance will not win you many points. With the exception of Poland (which I have not researched) all of the countries you mentioned have suffered from Islamofascist terrorism.

    Yes American government has a wrong and unfair pride.They have a powerful military forces out of their country such as in Iraq,Afghanistan,Phillipines,South Korea etc.USA is a super power who acts as a world police.They claimed Islam is a terrorist religion.He humiliated muslims in this world.They did not know Islamic teaching throughly.They did not know that a terrorist should be separated from Islam teaching,because Islamic teaching loves peace.They do not want to see that terrorism exist also in other religion too.The muslims in this world know that USA and UK are the co sponsored of state terrorism .They know that Rusia,China,France,Spain,Italy,Poland and Germany and many other states are not involved of that state terrorism.They love peace and they do not want to support the USA and UK invasions.So the radical muslims of some countries as their brothers and sisters get angry and they make a retaliation.because they know how many thousands of innocent civilian people have been killed by their forces in Afghanistan,Lebanon,Iraq,Pallestines etc.

    Fathead is right on this one, except about Poland. Islamic terrorism is a very old problem. Eastern Europe (including Poland) was was attacked regularly in the 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries by Islamic terrorists (Tatars under the nominal control of the Turkish Empire). The history of the region was shaped by wars to drive them out. The problem of terrorism is much like a hornet's nest. Do nothing, you get stung. Killing 2 or 3 only makes them mad. The US has shown a lot of restraint in the vain hope that the hornets will mutate into butterflies, but has only managed to stir up the nest.

    Terrorist attack the US and the UK because they are the only two real super powers left. They have the power to effect change. And terrorist don't like that because they like to have it their own way.

    The US and the UK does not kill their own citizens on a daily basis along with attacking others. Yes, innocent lives have been lost over there.. but it's no where near the number that those terrorist have been doing for decades...

    Get off you high horse.. your too ignorant to know your riding it backwards.

    Biggest Bang For The Buck. They are the dominant world cultures, and they control the way people think through the media. When tragedy happens it is blasted all over the air waves. Nothing else seems to matter. Both appear to have far more than their fair share of the world's goodies and these were often taken by hook or by crook. They are both arrogant nations. The US especially thinks it has the right to say how the world should be.

    Most of it is because the USA treats captured terrorists better than those other countries. A friend who appears to know told me that:

    Where the other countries torture and deprive terrorists of basic needs, the USA gives them luxury cells with TV, hot and cold running water, a choice of three entrees in every meal, a fully stocked library, computer Internet connections to everywhere in the world, including cell phones with unlimited service, and visiting privileges with their girl friends or wives at least three times a week.

    Our interrogators cannot speak to them in a harsh voice and we have to say "please" when we want them to do something. We have to ask them politely when we wnt information from them and if they refuse to speak, we have to leave them alone

    The ACLU is working on other privileges that will be granted soon

    Our military forces try to keep all this secret because if it gets out, we may have millions of terrorists defecting to us..

    I'm positive that since 9/11/01 there have been attacks in UK, Russia, France, Italy, and Germany, and none(major?) in the USA.

    Nice try though.

    Terrorists have attacked Russia repeatedly - beslan, moscow theatre etc mainly checnian separitsts

    Spain madrid train bombings; germany munich olympics, Italy various anarchist bombings ...

    if you are relying on US/UK media then that explains why you don't know about anything beyond your own border.

    terrorists have hit in those countries also. I think usa was attacked because of sanctions and government policies on terrorist countries. Plus Bush's connections and greed for oil.

    By the same token, the terrorists have killed thousands of innocent civillians themselves. The only difference is, the terrorists target civillians while western countries try not to harm civillians.
