Osama Bin Laden Gets What He Gives

The mujahideen were significantly financed, armed and trained by the United States which spawned Bin Laden, whom caused 9/11. Look up "blowback" sometime.I'm no rocket scientist, but I think it would have been smart NOT to support a fanatical and violent group of people to begin with. Kinda makes "military intelligence" an oxymoron, yes?For Americans to cheer the death of someone that America enthusiastically helped to create is pretty ignorant.Blowback (intelligence) - Wikipedia

Hey Tram Law, ONE government? You mean both DEMOCRAT and REPUBLICAN governmentS?

Mujahideen - Wikipedia Umm, . . . I'm an american. One can be against war crimes AND be an american. Really. I am unsure if Muslims celebrating the deaths of thousands of innocent american deaths is MUCH worse than americans NOT CARING about the deaths of MILLIONS of innocent Iraqis and Afghans civilians. So you think that the death/destruction policy that Israel uses towards Palestine has generally led to a peaceful resolution?An eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind Mahatma GandhiYou might want to RE-read:Blowback (intelligence) - Wikipedia

And it is also very easy to be critical when the decisions are incredibly dumb, immoral, and criminal. Well, that's lovely. Apparently it's ok to you that america only SUPPORT the terrorist's atrocities as long as we don't CREATE them.However, you might want to look deeper into history. The CIA assisted. The CIA funded the Ba'ath Party - of which Saddam Hussein was a member. And when Hussein gassed the Kurds, after the world condemned him, the USA turned around and REWARDED the atrocity by giving him another billion dollars worth of military aid.Take a real long look at this enthusiastic, smiling photo showing two people shaking hands. It SHOULD disgust most intelligent and moral people:
Shaking Hands with Saddam Hussein Umm, I guess I already forgot,... when exactly did Iraqis turn their anger against the USA? Was it during the 1990s when the USA led crippling sanctions against the Iraqis that murdered half a million of their children? When Madeline Albright said it was worth killing half a million children to bring about political change? You might want to research the term "terrorists" some time and see if it applies to the US.

Hey Jar,Generally, I liked your points but the following struck me as a curious statement: First of all, the average american is pretty ignorant. Most will willfully vote AGAINST their self interests. And half of them don't even vote. Secondly, when I visited Egypt I was amazed at how knowledgeable the average Egyptian was. Even the teens and children were asking me questions regarding American politics. Pretty impressive. And it seems the average Middle Eastern is quite aware of American interference in the area and its criminal support of Israel over human rights. Generally speaking, I would say people at the wrong end of the gun are often more aware than the gun-holder regarding the true nature of things.Just my 2 cents.

Ohmygosh, your right. There's absolutely no way American presidents or "military intelligence" could possibly have known that Saddam Hussein was really a bad guy, and would do something naughty like that. Afterall, Saddam Hussein looks so trustworthy in this picture:Shaking Hands with Saddam Hussein Well, we COULD debate the actual number of children horrifically murdered if it would allow you to sleep at night. However, I agree with your quote above. I can very well imagine that after Madeline Albright thoughtfully considered the question and then gave an HONEST and TRUTHFUL answer, she LATER regretted it. The recipients of USA's LARGEST foreign aid packages are those nations with the worst human rights violations: Israel, Egypt, Turkey, Columbia, . . . in short, this evidence DOES support that America has a policy of deliberately murdering innocent people.
