If they viewed the United States as an Emperial Power, they would truly believe thier way of life is threatened. If they believe they don't need western influence to live, they would view anything western as a threat. If thier way of thinking is "the United States Empire, you will be assimilated" they would truly believe thier culture's existance at risk. To ensure the continual pure existance of thier culture they would force anything western out of the area and look on any western thoughts, ideas, products, and especially occupation as the oncoming doom to thier way of life.
Most Americans do not think of the U.S. as an Empire and truly believe that everyone is happy to get american stuff and american ideas, or to have the american dream. Western Ideas are being force fed to cultures that have thousands of years without new or revolutionary ways of thinking.
Maybe the terrorist actors truly believe they will be conquered one day and thier way of life is at risk.
Just my uneducated thoughts. I am truly interested in what all of you have to say.
