Why Did They Attack Us?

This might not popular question on this day of remembrance, but we should always ask the question: why?

Since the attack there has been a lot of speculation, guesswork and reasons provided why the attack happened. All to often these are clouded by personal bias or a political agenda. But this shouldn’t happen, the attackers themselves gave us their reasons why the attacks happened.

Isn’t the best way to honour those that died in the attack than to listen, learn from it and prevent this from happening again?
