What country did we invade prior to 9/11 that prompted terrorists to hijack civilian airliners full of innocent people and fly them into buildings full of other innocent people? We are the country that provided Stinger missiles to Afghan fighters so that the Soviets would no longer be able to slaughter them from above and they repaid us with 9/11? But that's OUR fault? Really, Joe?
You mean other than...
Occupying Lebanon
Supporting the ZIonist presence in Afghanistan
Bombing Iraq and imposing crippling sanctions on it.
You dumb ***** on the right keep thinking that sticking our dicks in the MIddle East Hornet's nest is a good idea, and then you complain about getting stung.
Hey, one of those guys we gave Stinger Missiles to- Osama Bin Laden. Whew, good thing, too, them dirty stinking commies were about to teach some girls how to read!
The US has been the "World's Policeman" since the end of WWII. We're the country that places like Kuwait look to when they are invaded by people like Saddam Hussein.
But why should we be? Frankly, I don't give a rat's ass if Kuwait is ruled by Saddam or it's perverted old Emir who banged a virgin every night in a sham marriage. I'm not sure anyone else cared, eihter- other than the Oil Companies and the Zionists.
We're the guys who go in...fight for those who can't fight for themselves and then go back home. We're not an imperial power. We don't colonize like others do.
Well, since I doubt you've ever signed up for the armed forces, not sure why you are saying "we".
When the Soviets were slaughtering innocent Afghans it was the US that helped them and asked nothing in return.
And it was the stupidest thing we ever did. The Jihadists are a bigger threat to America than the Communists ever were.
I know that progressives like yourself are programmed to see America as being all about fighting for "Big Oil" or for "Zionism", Joey but the truth of the matter is that although we do make missteps from time to time with our foreign policy we overwhelmingly do what we do because we're trying to be the good guys in a world full of bad guys.
Yeah, then how come we never seem to care all that much about bad guys who aren't standing on top of a shitload of oil? I mean Rwanda. No Oil. Genocide the shit out of that place, we don't care.
And frankly, if you look at Iraq, what we did was replace a bad government with a worse one. Frankly, you talk about wanting to get involved in their war, but on whose side? The Sunni Terrorists who are so bad that Al Qaeda has denounced them, or the "Government' that is in cahoots with the Iranians.
