LOL, are you actually saying that we shouldn't have fought back after 9/11/01? Wow.
I'm not going to get into that, but perhaps we should've gone after the people responsible? They certainly weren't in Iraq. Why the hell is our war there due to 9/11?
Think about it this way...they killed around 3500-4000 total with the twin towers. Yeah, that's a hell of a lot. Since we entered Iraq (which was NOT the original origin of the attack and the Whitehouse admits it), there have been over 100,000 civilian deaths there that wouldn't have otherwise happened.
Our two towers to their fifty? F'ing awesome. And you wonder why they're pissed? They weren't even responsible.
I know 100,000 sounds like nothing on the computer screen, but if we came in and bombed 4000 of their civilians and they came in and killed 100,000 of ours, I guarantee you wouldn't say "oh, we had it coming". Think of it this way, us killing 100k of their 25million civilians is the same, approximately, if they had killed about 1.3million of our citizens percentage wise. That's just insane.
I think we're more than eye for an eye at this point. :damnit:
Uh, the election? Whatever, I voted, and he lost. I don't like the situation, at all, but it could be worse. I hate the policy and I hate the diminishing gap between church and state in this country, but we're stuck with him for another 4 years. Unless...
...but that would only make it worse. Only time will tell!
