Even as a child I heard that and was like "They hate us because of our freedom? That doesn't make any sense at all, they said we bombed them? That seems more likely the reason"

It was crazy to live through this and be completely alone with the thought that maybe the plausible motivation was the actual motivation.

If you as much as hinted towards US/Western foreign policy being a factor in why the ”terrorists hate us” at the time, you might as have worn a shirt with ”I ❤️ OSAMA” on it.

I would have been tempted to do that as a rebel kid if I saw that shirt lol, around that time for halloween I went as a guerilla soldier with an AK airsoft gun, not explicitly anti-American but I knew what side I was on ahah.
