Andy,
There are bleeding hearts here in Canada who want to pamper and pardon violent criminals because these criminals had bad parents and a rough upbringing. These bleeding hearts are usualy liberals, socialists and the French separitists. I totaly reject the notion that because Jimmy Carter supplied weapons to Osama to fight the Russians, Jimmy must shoulder some of the blame for Osama's terrorism on, before and after 9/11.
.

America's foreign policy is totally to blame, It was Congressman, Charlie Wilson who raised the CIA budget to the Afghan freedom fighters, The Mujahideen.
 
It's all on Wikipedia.

For his efforts, Wilson was presented with the Honoured Colleague Award by the
CIA. He became the first civilian to receive the award.^[12]
However, Wilson's role remains controversial because most of the aid was
supplied to Islamist hardliner Gulbuddin Hekmatyar,
now a senior Taliban leader and a supporter
of al-Qaeda.^[13]

You can't say that America is toi blame, it implies that America might be to blame, and there would that put things?  You'll be saying that violence begets violence next, when obviously it stops it
