Many, many of the worlds ills have been brewing since before America existed
as a nation. America is seen to be interfering for its own gains, that is
the reality.

You are very wrong sir. People here were/are shocked, frightened and
outraged by the recent events, and now a feeling of sympathy and support
prevails. This attack happened on mainland America not in Europe though. You
can see the difference? Was it just a matter of time before something like
this happened?

Rubbish. What you are saying is that dumb European people hated (European)
Russia until it no longer was a threat, and now with no-one else around they
start to hate America? You would like to think it is that way. The "security
blanket" also served to protect America's interests worldwide. Stable world
= good markets and good business. Personally i dont have a problem with this
equation at all, its just condescending to presume that we'd believe that
America would get involved in a war just to save xy's arse and get nothing
back in return.

A substantial percentage of victims were European. Like i said - EVERYONE
here is touched and upset by this massacre. To give a different
perspective - this recent atrocity took more British lives in one go than
any one IRA bomb. Even after decades of war the IRA never took out so many
Brits in one go.
