Oh please, how old are you?
Listen you completely flipped out on page one of this thread, immediately going on several rants ALL of which had nothing to do with the OP topic....you then when this was pointed out to you, flipped again and had more rants this time about the IRA, 1914 etc.
I didn't completely flip out.
Nothing to do with Brussels? So, the attacks on Brussels had nothing to do with Bush invading Iraq? Some people woke up this morning, they had no knowledge of Bush invading Iraq, didn't give a damn about it, then thought "hey, he's an idea, let's go bomb the airport and metro" and they got their friends, who also don't care about the invasion of Iraq, to help them do it.
Wow......
You're saying therefore that WE have asked for this? WE deserve the terrorist attacks?
More or less yes. However don't jump to conclusions here. Read what I have to say before you flip out.
In America people can vote. It has some semblance of democracy.
The people voted in George W Bush in 2000. More or less. He won the election anyway and became the President. Congress was also elected by the people.
Therefore the people of America decided to go to war. Even those who did not vote for him accepted the system and accepted the appointment of Bush. Then the invasion happened and the ineptitude that came later from Bremer and Bush.
Things happened before this that led to 9/11 that were also done by a Democratically elected govt over a long period.
So, if someone punches you in the face, and you punch them back, did you deserve to get punched in the face? Probably.
So, if the American people went to war, and then got war back, did they deserve it? Probably.
However when it comes to Belgium it becomes a lot harder. They didn't go to war. But the war the US started (and the UK supported by Spain and others) has become a wider thing. Belgium was suffered for being allied with the US.
Do the individuals deserve it? Well this is a difficult question that takes a lot more than one post to get through. I'll leave that up to your thought process.
But to simply.
Did the people of Iraq deserve to get invaded by Bush? Did they deserve to have the ineptitude of Bremer and Bush? Did all Muslims deserve to be looked down on by Americans for not doing anything?
Then you have the arguments of various people on the right that all Muslims are to blame. Well if all Muslims are to blame then all Westerners are to blame too, and therefore "deserve it".
The last view I certainly DON'T stand by.
The first view is one which I don't like, but I understand. If you elect people, and they do crazy shit, then you reap what you sow.
Electing Bush was idiocy. Voting for Trump is idiocy.
Trump will sow more.
