Funny, considering Osama bin Laden has repeatedly denied involvement with 9/11. Yet we attacked Afghanistan anyway. Even though bin Laden is Saudi.
I love our reactionary logic.
If we are in such danger from a bunch of Arab tribesman in little countries thousands of miles away (which we aren't, but I'm just saying), we should bring our troops home, reinforce our own borders, and let them establish whatever natural equilibrium they want amongst themselves. Yes, that means there will be a brief upswing in regional violence -- that means a bloodbath -- but so be it. It's called natural selection. Genes that don't want to reproduce too terribly bad will weed themselves out.
I can't debate this anymore. I'm too weary of it. The world would be so much better if we'd just drink wine, eat chocolate, get laid, and tell the rest of the world to go fuck themselves. If they aren't afraid, why should we be? No country has ever successfully prosecuted a ground offensive against the United States -- even world power Japan didn't dare do more than move a few submarines into our territorial waters -- and no nation ever will. The fact that we're afraid of a bunch of tribesmen baffles me no end.
It amuses me no end that the same people who live in fear and hatred of Arab tribesmen and a "terrorist network" that essentially doesn't exist (the worst-case intelligence reports I've read indicate that there are all of 50 Al Qaeda operatives in the entire country of Iraq) cheerfully plunk down money everyday for products labeled "Made in China," a Communist country with 1.2 billion people and a gigantic ground force, who, by the way, owns 40% of our federally owned debt and has essentially turned the USA into its economic colony.
This is off topic anyway.
