Like they crushed Iraq for 9/11?
Finding and crushing someone is easy, finding an actually guilty party that cannot be found is not so easy.
Who knows what this is, but some people can see the strategic significance of it.
- acdha 4y agoLike crushing the Taliban for 9/11. The Iraq invasion wasn’t a question of not knowing, it was an intentional deception to start the war they were already planning. U.S. and allied intelligence agencies had plenty of people who knew better and even the Bush administration knew the link was spotty enough that they didn’t explicitly make it, instead relying on claims about WMD and human rights which weren’t as easily disproven.

- ivraatiems 4y agoHow are al Qaeda and ISIS doing today? Also, like I said before... ideologues take responsibility.
- mistermann 4y agoI have no idea, but do you believe that this is a valid counterpoint to my proposition? A similar question is: how are all the unjustly killed people (and their surviving family and friends) doing? And, how will Americans that may suffer blowback from this be doing if that should come to visit our shores (say, maybe by power stations being taken out with a simple rifle)?
