Plenty, we had been bombing Muslims virtually every day for 10 years

uh no. your sympathies for fascist aggression keep blinding you to the
realities of life

WE hadnt been doing ANYTHING. it was the UNITED NATIONS. ever hear of
'em?

If you really think the 10 year war with Iraq was the "United Nations"
then you have to believe the invasion was the United Nations since it
was the result of a UN resolution.
The reality is the UN does not have an army, an air force or a navy.

hmmm...wonder what all those folks with blue helmets are who wander
the world....

Mostly Americans and Brits

oh. i'm sorry. you don't know what a 'blue helmet' is.

it's the helmet worn by troops on UN missions.

It is really just the US and UK with a small participation by a few
other countries. Most had abandoned the Iraq effort by 1998 in disgust
over the bombing.

meaningless. it was authorized by international law. that this doesn't
fit with your support of fascist imperialist aggession is irrelevant

So was the invasion of Iraq, what;s your point?

the invasion of iraq was not authorized by the UN. sorry.

and we were enforcing a lawful repulsion of aggression against a UN
member state.

oh...and that member state??

iit was a muslim state

Kuwait was liberated in 1991, we bombed Iraq for 12 more years until
we finally invaded them, enforcing a series of US instigated
"resolutions"

which is absolutely irrelevant to your point. our actions were
legitimized by votes in the UN. that some folks objected to them is
irrelevant

in fact this is proof of your tendency to move the goalposts when you
get your ass kicked.

You are the one who is fast and loose with the goal posts. First it is
Bush's war, now you admit it was a UN war. Make up your mind.

WHOA sports fans! you seem to have mixed up your wars. there was the
liberation of kuwait...which WAS authorized by the UN

and bush's idiotic war to kill hussein which was a waste of time and
blood

your fundamentalist faith in fascists to attack only those who deserve
to be attacked is touching. really. it's almost quaint.

I may be a pacifist anarchist but I am certainly not a fascist.

and the difference is?

oh. if the US defends itself THEN you're a pacifist. if someone
attacks the US then you're in favor of war.

Afghanistan did not attack us.

yes, it did. that's why the taliban no longer control afghanistan.
they controlled afghanistan until we destroyed their power

it's an historical fact. i realize you're a fundamentalist, but denial
is hardly a weapon suited for your argument.

We have killed about 5,000 innocent Afghanis

ah well. that happens in war.

(the center point of the
estimates) who may have never heard of Bin Laden. That sounds more
like a nazi reprisal than defense.

IOW you dont know about the history of war...innocents DO get killed,
unfortunately. it's quite a bit different when they're TARGETED as was
the case on 9/11

christ, you're just not too bright. so far your argument consists of
revisionism, ignorance and denial
