so for your story to be correct all you need is a piece of American International policy which Forced Saddam to invade and occupy Kuwait.
I await your proof
No, actually it doesn't. All what we are saying needs is for the US to piss off the groups that attacked the US, which it did. It really does not matter if we were right, or wrong, the FACT of the matter is that we, through our meddling in the middle east, have driven our enemies to hate us more and more, and they attacked us. To say it was unprovoked is just to wear blinders. If you think that Bin Ladens hatred started with our ******* around in Kuwait, and not or dealings with him when we were arming them to help fight the russians, well then... I know it fits the simpletons mind to try and boil it down to one specific incident, and makes it easier to digest, unfortunately, it just isn't true. Sorry guy, we can't just be convenient bedfellows and not expect that a few bastards are going to be born. For christ sake, we were backing and arming the mujahideen in the early 80's, and then I know you aren't going to deny the fukedupedness of the whole Iran/Iraq war, who helped solidify the Baathist party during all that? We did. BUt wait, shortly before hand they were supplying arms to russia, who was fighting who? Oh yea, the mujahideen, the guys we were later supporting, interesting huh? Kind of interesting to that the Soveit Union went from being one of the worlds superpowers, to almost total collapse, pretty much from carrying on a war with a small group of middle eastern rebels, kind of makes you think huh?
Quote:I bet you got yourself pegged as a "true patriot?" If you are, I suppose you will have no problem showing us your theory is true. Being you think it started after 9/11, your in for a long hard road?
Your patriotic duty is not to George Bush, the republicans, or democrats, libertarians, or jesus christ, etc...it is to America, and what is in the best interest of the country, it's founding principles. Anyone that follows blindly is not a patriot. And please learn some grammar, your dribble is annoying to read, and there for not worthy of my time to respond to.
