This sentence just infuriates me.

People died because terrorists wanted to kill people.

You know, I actually agree that there is insensitivity, greed, and
callousness in the United States, just as there is in any human society.

To tie it to capitalism is just plain ignorant.

To include it in the same sentence seems to give the terrorists an "excuse"
for their behavior. There is no excuse for butchering innocent people>
