In all honesty, this is no better.
Was the hatred forseeable? Did people have reason to resent the US? I think these statements are much more accurate.
"Have it coming", and "deserved it" are pretty much the same thing. I think both "glorify" the event equally. They imply that it
should have happened. That is why I find them so offensive, it's like saying, "you needed that".
I know they are just words and most people don't mean them that way, but it is the way it "feels". That why the reaction to those statements can get so heated.
