Deflection nothing.  They're exactly related.  You can't wage war without retribution.  We've turned the whole middle east meddling into what's now a cultural/religious war.  To sit here and tell me these guys are acting unsolicited is idiotic.  We're killing them by the hundreds of thousands in the middle east.  You expect them to sit by and do nothing?  Jeezus...wear a helmet when you ride if you do.
