Look on the bright side... the narrative has thus far been they were just normal yutes that snapped with no real terrorist connections. So, if the attacks on Islamic countries motivated them one can logically conclude that either: a) any normal Muslim youth is a potential terrorist willing to murder innocent women and children, or b) it has nothing to do with Islam and any normal American liberal youth is a potential terrorist willing to murder innocent women and children.

Suspect alleges Bush’s wars may be a contributing factor to the alleged bombing attacks.

has specifically cited the U.S. war in Iraq, which ended in December 2011

The US's war "in the South" lasted about a hundred years because the KKK terrorist insurgency.

BUT the war AGAINST Iraq and the war AGAINST the South each only lasted a couple of years.

Some people mark the beginning of the War with the assassination of RFK in 1968 by the Jordanian/Palestinian Sirhan Sirhan.

The so-called Iraq War was a continuation of Saddam’s hostilities from the original Gulf War. Saddam violated the peace terms repeatedly and even John Kerry made the case in 1998 for going to war against Iraq without UN approval.

Hey, #2 is also blaming the Internet...Of course it was predicted as soon as they ID’d #1 & #2 this would happen.

Before it’s all done and said, #2 will blame the Internet, racism in America, and American bullies in Boston...

It is possible recruitment is funneling through the Occupy movement.

It would be totally easy to recruit someone with an already warped worldview of America/capitalism, no belief in God, PC correct morals etc.

They are weak minded and are easy prey for all kinds of weird philosophies ... Radicalizing them is like writing on a blank piece of paper.

This “reason” for doing it, makes no sense. They didn’t blow up a military facility or a government building. They blew up innocent people running a marathon who have no connection to the war whatsoever. In fact, the cowboy hat guy who is being praised for helping to save lives has been characterized as a “peace activists”. As if those who fight our wars are “war activists” but I digress. That is another story for another day. My whole point is that I would guess that cowboy hat guy may believe the same thing since he’s a “peace activist”.

That reasoning does not wash with me. This was an act of pure terrorism. The type of act that we find in Israel where bombers indiscriminently kill Israelies for the simple fact that they are jews. There’s more to their radicalization than this crap.

Wikipedia:

In April 2002, the Tsarnaev parents and Dzhokhar went to the United States[24][25][26] on a 90-day tourist visa, and the father applied for asylum, citing fears of deadly persecution due to his ties to Chechnya.[27] Tamerlan arrived on his own around 2004.[28] In the U.S. the parents received asylum and then filed for their four children, who were given “derivative asylum status”.[29] In March 2007, the family was granted legal permanent residence in the U.S.[28] The family settled in Massachusetts. Tamerlan lived in Cambridge on Norfolk Street until his death.[30] Both of Tsarnaev’s parents received welfare benefits, and Dzhokhar and Tamerlan were recipients through their parents when they were younger.[31]
