Yes, this commenting system can be confusing.

I'm afraid I'm not sure I  get your point about 9-11.  I agree it was about retaliation, not "our freedoms", but it does not follow that "it says that the US can go anywhere with impunity".

Muslim terrorists are attacking, or joining ISIS,  not because the US "attacked Muslims", but because some Muslims interpret the world in those terms, although it makes no logical sense.

The M.E. is in the throes of internal religious conflicts, intervening in those conflicts may be a bd idea, but it isn't "attacking Muslims", it is attacking certain factions.
