Correction, the West has been responding to actions committed by those in the Middle East. Don’t act like we did anything in a vacuum...

__________________________________________________

They didn’t do anything in a vaccum either. Colonization and puppet-governments preceeded terrorist attacks. All one has to do is listen to Neo-Cons like Hugh Hewitt, and you can smell the imperialist philosophy coming out. “Afghanistan was an outpost of Western Liberalism before Biden pulled us out”....that sort of nonsense.

Conservatives would do well to focus on the gross injustices being done by our own Leftist governments to our own citizens instead of sweating bullets about some phantom islamic menace. Wanna keep Islam out? Control immigration. If we don;t do that as a nation, the muzzies are not to blame....Western society is.

I don’t have any problems with that.
I would strip their libraries, museums and oil before I left if I could.
But bring our troops home.

all the Kurds get dead

Odd that they have survived for hundred of years before we got involved.

*** I would strip their libraries, museums and oil before I left if I could. ***

Why would you want to take or destroy something to which you have no moral right?

How is that different in the broader sense than those coming across our Southern Border (and being flown by the hundreds daily to FL, KY, etc,) by my own US government?

Odd that the Turks want to kill them to the last man, woman and child ...

Not really, it is more like Syria is going to get its oil fields back.

‘Cuz losing has consequences.
Because they don’t take very good care of it.

As we’re discovering here.

Ok, so what injustice was perpetuated on Osama Bin Laden? What did the US do to him personally to “justify” what he did? Please do tell.

My uncle went off to fight in Vietnam. What personal Injusice was done to him? For that matter what “personal” injustice was done to my grandfather when he went off to fight in WW 2? All one need ask oneself is which country lends its military the most to propping up puppets in the Middle East? It’s a no-brainer.

Totally missed the point and didn’t answer a direct question... Not surprised.

NoI, I didn’t miss the point. Why don’t you lookup why the 911 attacks were carried out? Don’t listen to the Hugh Hewitt version. What was Bin Laden’s self-declared beef? Actually, what is any Middle Easrerners beef with Western puppet regimes and foreign troops on their soil?

Once again, can’t answer a direct question. you’d make a good Liberal.

It’s been answered. You not liking the answer isn’t the same thing as not answering it.

Nope. I asked you what was personally done to Bin Laden. Your answer was some stupid remark about your family and WWII. Like I said you didn’t answer the question. Good job!

Since the logic is evading you, let me make it clearer. If one felt one’s own country was attacked/violated, would that make it personal enough? Maybe you don’t think it is, but playing dumb just to gainsay...please.

So your saying that Bin Laden felt Saudi Arabia was attacked and violated by the US? And I’m the one playing dumb... Try again.
