US approach to terrorism creates hate Original Source Link: (May no longer be active)    http://www.turkishpress.com/news.asp?id=38250 http://www.turkishpress.com/news.asp?id=38250 George Soros says US approach to terrorism creates hate Published: 3/8/2005 MADRID - US billionaire financier George Soros on Tuesday slammed as dangerous Washington's strategy to fight terrorism, saying it was creating anger and resentment around the world. Speaking on Spanish radio station Cadena Ser the day an international conference on terrorism opened in Madrid, Soros said Spain had "a very different response to terrorism -- a healthier response." The Hungarian-born businessman, who spent millions last year opposing US President George W. Bush's reelection, said US policies had had negative consequences. "Producing innocent victims creates anger and resentment. And this anger and resentment feeds terrorism," he said, according to the station's Spanish translation of his English comments. In Iraq, he said, "there are more people wanting to kill Americans than there were before. "These people didn't think like that before the Americans arrived and did what they did. The attitude of creating innocent victims creates terrorists. It's as simple as that." Soros was among more than 200 personalities, leaders and experts attending the conference on terrorism underway in Madrid. The three-day symposium is to be followed Friday with solemn commemorations marking the one year anniversary of the March 11, 2004 train bombings in the city which killed 191 people and wounded 1,900. An Islamic extremist cell with links to Al-Qaeda has been blamed for the attacks, which gave a new context and challenges to Spain's anti-terrorism strategy, focused up to then on the four-decade-old conflict with the Basque separatist group ETA. 03/08/2005 14:48 GMT AFP and Turkish Press
