"The murders of 202 people in the Bali bar bombings of October 2002 offered further embarrassment to those trying to find a respectable ‘root cause’ to explain away atrocity, and not only because thirty-eight Indonesians died along with the Australian, British and other tourists. Osama bin Laden did give a reason, but it wasn’t the right one. He said Australians died because Australia was an anti-imperialist rather than an imperialist power, whose troops had reversed the annexation of (largely Catholic) East Timor by (largely Muslim) Indonesia, which had so angered Noam Chomsky twenty-five years before. Australia had taken back conquered Islamic land therefore Australians must die. In Madrid in 2004, the ‘root cause’ of the atrocity was Spanish support for the war in Iraq." --What's Left?
