For me my eyes were opened. Until then I was under the understanding that everybody loved America. If they couldn't get here, they'd do everything they could to make their country like America and look to us solve the world's problems. Yes, there were only 19 terrorists who carried out the 9/11 attacks but over 1 million are of the mind set they if given the right set of circumstances they would be willing to personally carry out a suicide attack themselves where if organized would represent the largest standing army on earth. Exponentially more are not willing carry out a suicide attack but cheer on those who are, honors them as heroic martyrs for the cause offer their support. What a wake up call.
I also learned there is a big connection between having to deal with them and oil. Our entanglement in their region of the world actually creates their hatred of us due their ancient segregationist mindset especially under conditions where they see themselves as not having supremacy over us in the relationship. Oil has not only led to our inadvertent financial support of efforts to kill us but the drill our own oil idea not only will never replace their oil, only add to it based on how oil is sold on the global market and is actually the best guarantee they could get from us that they'll be able to generate trillions of dollars for decades to come.
I have become an activist for getting off of oil to the greatest degree possible and learned there are other reasons than national security that it makes the best sense for us including less expensive vehicles (once the same mass production benefits oil technology cars enjoy and initial R&D is recouped,) longer lasting vehicles, .30 cents on the dollar fuel, cars that require far less maintenance and cars that require fewer repairs. However, defunding anti-American Middle Eastern propaganda, anti-American terrorism, dictatorships and nuclear proliferation are the big reasons.
