But, I'm glad to hear you love this country. I guess you think 9/11 was
because we invaded Iraq? Or Afghanistan?

No but I think our "Tomahawk diplomacy" where we believed we could
rain down death from the sky with impunity had something to do with
it. You notice we stopped showing those bomb sight camera shots on TV
right after that.
Some people seem to forget we bombed Iraq constantly throughout the
90s. We say we weren't really killing anyone, Al Jazerra was saying we
killed about 20,000 civilians. Who do you think they believed?
Iraq *did* invade Kuwait, right? Or was that retribution for something else
*we* did wrong?

It makes so much sense to kill civilians who had nothing to do with a
country's government's nastiness. Yep...winning the hearts and minds.
Most of the rational world will be pleased to see Bush back in Texas and
our country again being run by intelligent leaders who usually think
things through *before* invading the wrong country.
I wonder if anyone told Saddam or Osama that?
