You might as well ask the same question about Afghanistan: none of the people on the planes on 9/11 were Afghans. Did/do you oppose our actions in Afghanistan on that basis? Let us know....

Well let's see, we went into Iraq with the express purpose of taking down its leader and foist our own political vision upon them. A leader that, ha ha, WE put into power! Now its a huge surprise that democracy won't readily root into soil which is so foreign to it.

In Afghanistan, we are pursuing a terrorist leader and his gang, NOT displacing the government, unless you can enlighten me further on this score.

I'd pick this apart but then you would think you got away with changing the subject.

Let's try this again:

You - "all the people on the planes on 9/11 were Saudis, so why are we in Iraq?"

Me - " Did/do you oppose our actions in Afghanistan on that basis?"

Let me know if you ever want to answer my question.

In Afghanistan, we are pursuing a terrorist leader and his gang, NOT displacing the government, unless you can enlighten me further on this score.

We most certainly did displace the extant government of Afghanistan. You might remember the word "Taliban" having been prominently in the news a few years back? That was them. The new government which has been formed in Kabul in its place was facilitated by nothing if not our military actions, exactly the thing you are complaining about when it happens in Iraq.

So, ready to answer my question yet?
