"I'm still amazed about how many people still think 911 was an unprovolked attack, bull****. It was a reaction to our foreign policy actions partly in Israel since it's formation and occupying Saudi Arabia and building numerous permanent bases there over the past 16 years.
Since the illegal invasion of Iraq and the genocide of it's people through "collateral damage" a Republican term for accidental murder, we've got it coming. I personally fear having to pay the price for a foreign policy I never agreed to, thaks again Republicans, I gotta potentially take a bullet for your ****?
The Republican agenda may very well cause you your life in the next attack, oh yes, I think it's only a question of when thanks to the Iraq invasion that has been the poster boy for recruiting an endless stream of young muslim, Islamic volunteer attackers - thanks Bush! and *** pro war supporters. How about keeping your death wishes out of my politics!"
In keeping with the better interests of this country the U.S. foriegn policy is about protecting spheres of influence around the globe. In this world the U.S. garners it's resources from many different countries. Being a capitalistic entity, much money and influence is poured into peoples and foriegn governments pockets in order to protect our interests. It is and always has been the American way to protect the American way. The current President and his administration have a much more bullish way of doing this then previous administrations. History will judge him accordingly. However, would you be so kind as to point out a single country in this world, who does not protect their own interests first and foremost, I would appreciate it. The fact that America can use it's vast resources (military and economic) to protect the American way of life more comprehensibly then other countries can, does not mean that we are evil and they are good. They just want you to think that way.
So DesertDave, "we got it coming" is what you implied, by that do you mean you agree with what the terrorist did? Because you certainly made it sound that way, is it your opinion that the U.S. deserved to be attacked in such a manner? Should the U.S. stop protecting our supply lines and global trade and influence out of fear that others will hate us and may possibly attack us again? What exactly are your politics? Please explain.
