that was the worst part of all of the footage.

You saw people jumping out of windows to their deaths on live tv. You could even hear the thumps of their bodies hitting the ground. How anyone can stay "neutral" to that is beyond me.

Typically the 9/11 threads bring the sociopaths over from GC.

I'm not making excuses I'm pointing out that calling it "meddling" is a drastic understatement that totally ignores our involvement in the region. If anybody is making excuses it's you calling the gassing of civilians and toppling democracies "meddling" instead of actually acknowledging the damage.



I see why it would be better than tribalism, but you're implying that because we haven't invaded Saudi Arabia that nobody from that country can be affected by our involvement.

i always shed a tear when rich people die

More like the edgy guys who didn't really experience it. I mean, kids born in '01 are 12 right now. A bunch of high schoolers right now probably didn't even notice 9/11 happening. It's not surprising that the youngsters of today don't feel that much for it, they never experienced it.

more like we can compare 150k deaths to 3k rich white folks (BAWWWWWW) without beer goggles

no one here is saying the attacks were justified, we're saying they have their reasons

the point is that they didn't simply attack you because they hate you

it's because of the usa's self serving foreign policy

9/11 was blowback

This.
This this this.
Some more of this.
And this.
And then to try and "get even" for it, we send thousands of more troops to die...
In a strict sense of numbers, we're very much on the losing side of this "war on terror".
And in MANY aspects, our troops are the terrorists. We're constantly bombing and invading other countries, and in doing so we kill military persons and civilians alike.
Which in turn, simply makes us more, and deeper enemies of the people we do this to.

Al Qaeda have such an easy time recruiting in these places we attack, because they show up and help these people rebuild their towns, and put their lives somewhat back together.
Of course the people they help will be willing to join their cause. By STILL being in these countries, we only make the problem worse.

I really don't understand why Santara feels the need to strawman to hell, I mean, its what the guy in his signature has been saying for years....
