Lead conservative writer says America should appease terrorists

You see, the reason 9/11 happened, according to one of the TOP conservative writers and thinkers, is because America's culture and politics pissed off the Arabs. If we'd only not done things in our culture, our politics, on our TV shows, and our bedrooms that upset Muslims around the world, then maybe they wouldn't attack us.

Did you get that? According to one of the leading voices in the conservative movement - this guy has been on the scene for a good 15 years at least - it's America's fault that we got attacked on September 11, and apparently it's America's job to change our own culture and laws to make Muslims around the world like us better. Not to mention, following this writer's logic, it would seem that most of the Muslim world is to blame for September 11, not just a few crazy extremists.

Which of course also raises the revelation that conservatives want America to live under a culture and laws that represent the mainstream of life in the Middle East. No offense to the millions of Muslims who live in the Middle East, but I'm perfectly happy keeping American culture and laws to our liking, rather than yours.
