This is why we need to stop killing people in far-off places like Afghanistan and Iraq.  Not only does it anger families that are torn apart by war today, but the middle-east has a decades-old history of U.S. manipulation, all of which cause more and more people to sympathize with groups like Al Qaeda .  Mohamud's desire to commit a terrorist attack is one small byproduct of this.
