2. Well, Reagan used the same logic with the Afghani Mujahadeen when they fought the Red Army. |
|
The unintended consequence of that is that some of the training and weapons we left behind ended up being picked up by Al Qaeda.

9. Destabilization of the Middle East has been a U.S. interest for nearly a century. |
|
There's no other explanation for the interference, imho.

3. The violence will cease when the number of things to blow up decreases. |
|
Al Qaeda is clearly running out of things to bomb. That mosque was a re-bombing.
The Daily show just is a total life saver.

11. This is the most unbelievable thing i've read about the war in at least a year or two |
|
Our government seems to just want death and destruction. Nice that they're now buddies with Al Qaeda (as if they weren't before - it's just that more blatant).
