Again, let me interject with a little bit of logic--although it might get in the way of your logic-impaired thesis. Please repeat after me: WE DID NOT ATTACK THEM FIRST. THEY ATTACKED US. See, when you walk up to a guy and punch him in the nose, you shouldn't be so surprised when he takes offense and punches back. And if you're with friends, and he's with friends, some of those friends might get hurt in the process. "Collateral damage" I believe it's called. So please, get back onto your liberal turnip truck, and stay there until you can get a clue.

"WE DID NOT ATTACK THEM FIRST. THEY ATTACKED US."

You and I might look at it that way, but it's NOT the way they see it.
A fact that you continually choose to ignore in spite of numerous examples.
A FACT that, IGNORED, led directly to the 9/11 bombing.

"See, when you walk up to a guy and punch him in the nose, you shouldn't be so surprised when he takes offense and punches back."

That's right. And, the way that they see it, we punched their friends in the nose numerous times.
So they played some "catch up". Meanwhile, you sit there -surprised!- and say "we never did a THING!".
Get a clue yourself, or just ignore the facts and be surprised the next time too.
(Although you should keep in mind, ignoring them will end up with more civilians -on both sides- dead.
That doesn't bother nut-ball fanatics like the Taliban, but it should bother you as an American.
We ARE supposed to think differently than they do, although few appear to make the effort.)

(Note: Some people have been expecting something of this nature for some time... federal government included...
or do you think they had the "patriot act" legislation drawn up last year as practice? Why was it expected? THINK about it!)

"So please, get back onto your liberal turnip truck, and stay there until you can get a clue."

As I pointed out, it isn't "liberal" to face the facts. Quite the opposite.
You might like to think that 9/11 happened "out of the blue", but that isn't true, no matter how many facts you choose to ignore.
So YOU climb back on the turnip truck with your liberal friends that also cannot understand the idea of cause and effect.
Make sure you take your "head in the sand" attitude with you.
It lets you fit right in with them.
