I know it's a joke but the fact is Al Qaeda was founded by people whose friends and family were bombed by the US military. There's very little that people, who lost everything to live for in a country kept destitute by attacks from America, can do except keel over or find a way to attack back. The US government creates their nemeses through cruelty, and are ultimately the cause.
Then they somehow convince their people that some gang member in Bahrain poses an actual threat to the lifestyle of their children in fucking rural Wisconsin, and gets them to train up so they can go and murder four gang members and 48 civilians, whose family members become radicalised against America the violent untamed oppressor, and the cycle continues.
they even said as much in their letter
South Park did an episode on this where ICE basically will create a mexican Joker due to their cruelty
