Rice Urges World to Stop Making Excuses for Terrorists
WASHINGTON -– The U.S. secretary of state wants people to stop making excuses for terrorists.
In an interview aired July 28 on PBS's "Jim Lehrer NewsHour," Condoleezza Rice fairly bristled at the suggestion that the United States was creating terrorists with its policies. "When are we going to stop making excuses for the terrorists and saying that somebody is making them do it?" Rice said.

#2Your suggestion that the US is causing Islamofascists to kill people from all over the world does not match the facts. From Youssef M. Ibrahim, formerly of the NY Times and Wall St Journal, writing in the Middle East Times (via Austin Bay):
Indeed, jihadis have been killing for a decade in the name of Islam. They killed innocent tourists and natives in Morocco and Egypt, in Africa, in Indonesia and in Yemen, all done in the name of Islam by Muslims who say that they are better than all other Muslims. They killed in India, in Thailand and are now talking of killing in Germany and Denmark and so on. There were attacks with bombs that killed scores inside Shia and Sunni mosques, inside churches and inside synagogues in Turkey and Tunisia, with Muslim preachers saying that it is okay to kill Jews and Christians - the so called infidels.
Understanding that your actions may have consequences is a little different than making excuses for terrorists. If you stick your hand into a tiger's cage and pull on it's tail, expect the inevidible.
Don't complain when someone says "didn't I just tell you not to pull that tiger's tail?"
