The authour is trying to explain things from the point of view that "terrorist are made and not born".
The british had called the Indian freedon fighters as mutinors. The Indian freedom fighters on 5/11 did not kill only british soilders but also british women and children (even infants were not spared). Further they also killed indians who had converted to christianity. I am sure in british at that time 1857 would have seen it same as 9/11 were most killed (all) were civilians and not soldiers.
I am sure if our freedom fighters have had the facilities of taliban of this day would have done the same. Sorry to refer our freedom fighters with taliban. (Infact I am ashamed to do so). But the point to be noted is there is a reason for all acts of violence and the author tries to make the US to stop the war against taliban in its current form and try to find a more peacefull solution by dropping its imperialist (capitalist) behaviour.
I have read the book and I assure you the contents of the book is not unpatriotic. I also have a suggestion to you "please read the entire presentation - you will also accept the same"
