WHY THEY HATE US

Oliver Roy has a column in todays NY Times that is a rebuttal to all of those who blame Iraq for the recent terror bombings.
The Western-based Islamic terrorists are not the militant vanguard of the Muslim community; they are a lost generation, unmoored from traditional societies and cultures, frustrated by a Western society that does not meet their expectations. And their vision of a global ummah is both a mirror of and a form of revenge against the globalization that has made them what they are.
I think his analysis is spot-on.
