How is that for taking advantage and ultimate war mongering? Nothing like killing innocent civilians who don't even know what you are doing in their country to win their friendship!

Look at this:

I still don't know why they tolerate us in their country at all at this point. I sure as hell would be bent out of shape if some other nation had it's troops gallivanting around my neighborhood, let alone being in my country.

The American war machine is so corrupt. The more I look for information outside of what the bloodthirsty warmongers in the GOP are giving us, the more I realize how full of lies and deceit they are. They truly are the Permanent War Party. They have a twisted view of reality as they don't trust government and they detest big spending, corruption, and expansion of government powers, but yet when you wrap up all of the things they hate into one package with shiny war rhetoric wrapping, they gleefully fall in line and suddenly think all of that is okay.

90% of Americans don't know the real reason we are there.

Of course not, The Democrats escalated the war in Vietnam, but then again that was almost 50 years ago.

Most of these people are trying to make sure they have enough water and food to survive another day. They aren't hanging out in front of a TV watching news and blogging on a laptop. A small percentage of people there are wealthy, the rest are poor and live like peasants with very little communication to the outside world.

Even if they heard about 9/11, are Americans so arrogant that we are to believe that it should seem like a big deal to them? Bombs have been blowing up in their country daily for decades now. Tens of thousands of people die every year there due to war. What happened to us on 9/11 would seem tiny in comparison to the destruction they have seen firsthand, not just on TV from a comfy sofa.

And lets keep in mind that on 9/11, planes were hijacked by 19 terrorists, 15 from Saudi Arabia, 2 from United Arab Emirates, 1 from Lebanon, 1 from Egypt. Bush's response? Go to war with Afghanistan and Iraq, and go hold hands with the Saudi prince.

Afghanistan doesn't have electricity. They don't know about World War I.
