if murderers had killed someone else then took refuge in my house, i'd
certainly blame them if the other person blew up my house.

why is that so hard to believe?

The murders died in the plane crash ... unless you are a "911
truther".

wrong. not ALL the murderers did. you're a remarkably ignorant moron
even for a right winger.

khalid sheikh mohammed planned the attacks. he didn't die on 9/11.
osama gave approval and helped bankroll it. he didn't die in the
attack.

so you need to learn a bit more about history

The rest of this "war" is just chasing a ghost who may have really
been killed in Tora Bora years ago. Even those who say Bin Laden is
alive say he is NOT in Afghanistan.
To follow your analogy, we would still be bombing Japan for Pearl
Harbor.

if the japanese hadn't surrendered, yes.




I do find it strange that the same people who called Bush a moron and
a tyrant for the exact same war are now supporting Obama.

we don't. you obviously don't know why bush was an idiot.

You don't support the war? ... and no I don't think Bush was an idiot,
he was just not well spoken. Obama is pretty much duplicating his
policies. (war, debt and rights violations)

the reason bush was an idiot is he's done nothing about the war in
afghanistan. he ignored calls for more troops, for building the afghan
security services, for working with pakistan to destroy the taliban,
etc...




At least I am consistent. I think they are both stupid to be in this
war.

IOW you have no principles on which to base your conclusions.

The principle I have is this war is totally ineffective, even if you
believe killing thousands of random Taliban (and as many innocent
civilians) will stop global terrorism. We still can't kill them all.
Islamic terrorists can come from anywhere. There are a billion of them
in the pool and it only took 19 on 9/11.
The war is stupid, It is just our 21st century Vietnam.-

i guess if you can't think outside the box and have a religious faith
in cliches, then, yes, it would seem like vietnam.

to those of us who follow what islamists are actually saying, have
read qutb, azzam, huntington, etc., it's a cultural war that may take
generations. but that's hardly unique in world history.
