Yawn. Yeah, yeah, chickens coming home to roost, we deserved to be attacked, yadda yadda yadda.Again, the stupidity was the CIA arming Bin Laden from the get go, because he was killing Russians who might teach Afghan girls how to read. But then he was a "Freedom Fighter".
When he kills Americans, he's a "terrorist". See. Fun with words.
If we fought Afghanistan the way we fought WWII, we'd still be in the same mess, and more people would hate us.
Our middle east policy is one of sticking our fists into hornet's nests and wondering why we get stung. Sometimes by hornets we thought were nice. (Bin Laden, Saddam were both on the CIA Payroll at some point.)
Just chickenshit nonsense.
Only if you try to go through life thinking they were "evildoers", who just attacked us while we were minding our own business.
We don't belong over there. But we keep playing around in their part of the world, and wonder why there's blowback.
Imagine if we never gave weapons to the assholes in Afghanistan. The Soviets would have finished them off in a year. Instead, we created an army of religous assholes who hated westerners, and modernity.
This was a good idea, why again?
Oh,yeah. Gotta beat them Commies.
Yawn. Yeah, yeah, America sucks, we're the source of all evil in the world, yadda yadda yadda.
