Why do they hate us?

1. What questions do you have about the reading? How might they be answered?

My question are why are the government officials unwilling to discuss terrorist motives?And
How can we prevent terrorist attacks?
 These questions could be answered by theories and opinions
2.What is President Obama's answer? Brennan's?
President Obama's answer is that Al Qaeda is a violent group who only cares about killing and causing death. Brenna's was basically saying the same things as the president. He was saying that Al Qaeda is always wanting to attack innocence.

3.Thomas was clearly dissatisfied with Brennan's answer. Why? Would she have been satisfied with the president's? Why or why not?
 
Thomas was dissatisfied with Brenna's responses to her question of why Al Qaeda is attacking and Americans. Brenna worked his way around the questions without really giving an answer. She wouldn't have been fine with the presidents if he worked his way around the question "why" also.

4.Why does Glenn Greenwald think it important to consider terrorist motivations? Do you agree? Why or why not?
Glen Greenwood thinks it is important to consider terrorists motivations because if we don't then he seems it is just going unnoticed and the actions are alright. I agree with Glen that we should find out why they are doing these actions because it will bring up the issue which people will look into. If we find the answer to that we may be able to prevent more terrorists attacks in the future.

5. How would you answer Thomas' question, "Why?" Why do Hasan, Abdulmutallab, and others commit such acts?? If you need more reliable information, where might you find it?

I believe that Hasan, Abdulmutallab, and others commit such acts because of Al Qaeda and of who was their leader Bin Laden. He and other Al Qaeda members are brought in and told only about "how bad America is" and how their religion plans these attacks and wants them to do them.
