Do we have troops in Algeria? Isn’t that why Muslim’s and Al-Qaeda resort to killing, because of evil Americans? If that’s the case why are they targeting civil authority?

As a long time fan of Despair’s Demotivators to find a set of Star Trek Inspirational Posters along the same line is pure genius.
