I would of much rather the US used drones to kill bin laden and terrorist after 9-11.
We have spent 4 thousand troops to their deahts
10nds of thousands of limbs blown off
trillions of dollars
The person above me somehow believes that these people would somehow stop their fucked up idea's if we stopped. Get a clue man as these terrorist attack every civilized nation from Kenya to America...

We know at least one reason behind the symbolic participation of the Western forces and that is to support the Zionist plans for expansion of what is called the Greater Israel. Surely, their presence is not out of concern over their interests in the region. ... Their presence has no meaning save one and that is to offer support to the Jews in Palestine who are in need of their Christian brothers to achieve full control over the Arab Peninsula which they intend to make an important part of the so called Greater Israel. ...
Who Is Bin Laden? - Interview With Osama Bin Laden (in May 1998) | Hunting Bin Laden | FRONTLINE | PBS
If you will read the entire transcript you will find that bin Laden was warning that if some action wasn't taken to remove the U.S. troops from Mecca and to stop supporting Israel's expansion into the Gaza region there would be retaliation. He warned us -- and we ignored the warning.
Very soon after the 9/11 attack G.W. Bush quietly removed our troops from Saudi Arabian soil and he pressured Sharon to evict the settlers from Gaza. Had we don't those things in advance of 9/11, rather than virtually daring bin Laden to make good on his warning, that attack would not have happened.
Also, don't forget we helped the
Mujahideen to expel Russia from Afghanistan. Today
we are in Afghanistan and the
Mujahideen is now known as
Al Qaeda. So it seems rather clear who is provoking whom in the Middle East.
Finally, can you offer a good reason why we invaded and occupied Iraq -- which undoubtedly earned us tens of thousands of enemies committed to retaliation against us?

Remember this? It's the Bombing of Baghdad. We did this. And a lot of innocent people -- including little tots in their cribs -- were killed or maimed by it. Can you offer a reason other than George W. Bush's insatiable ego for doing this?
I suggest you take a step back and look at the big picture. Give some thought as to
why we are the focus of such hatred.
