But in all honesty, they were the ones that struck first with 9/11. (Que someone's ridiculous conspiracy theory about us killing our own people) |
Who really asked America to held though? Like if someone in a nightclub is getting his ass kicked, and I hit the guy beating him up...I'm probably gonna be ready to get jumped outside.
America had been involved in the middle east for YEARS before 9/11. Like, ridiculously long. Taking aside the whole America dropped two atomic bombs on a country previous to 9/11 stuff, America has been bombing Bagdad for a long long time before 9/11 ever happened.
People join the army for whatever reasons. I don't see soldiers as the bad guys. I at some stage couuld have easily signed up, and then I'd have been "peacekeeping" in countries I had no business being in.
But let's face it, no one's "fighting for their countries freedom". America is free. Iraq is in no way oppressing America. US soldiers are stationed in rival countries' borders, and refuse to leave. That's just the short hand of it.
Then you have the entire oil debate too.
