Man, how could we have avoided that...? Oh yea, by not going into Iraq!... You're a pro-gun dude, how would you react if they invaded us?
​
Oni, wake up and get onboard the reality train. WE invaded them and attacked them first, right? That's what you're saying? Try again. These Islamic extremists have attacked the United States and US assets around the world for decades, without the US doing anything in retaliation. Let me count the ways for you: The Berlin discotheque bombing, Pan Am Flight 103, First World Trade Center bombing, the Khobar Towers, both the embassy bombings in Tanzania and Kenya, the USS Cole, and finally 9/11 being the straw that breaks the camels back.
​
Not that Onifre needs any help with this, but could you explain just when Iraq did any of these things???

Re: you had me at "pot"
I don't think the Iraq War was justifiable, so the insinuations can end here.
​
What insinuations? Oni mentions invading Iraq, and you retort with Al-Qaeda operations. I simply ask why, when it is such obvious Bush administration bullshit. Wouldn't have thought you'd fall for that...
​
I'm simply pointing out that terror groups started long before this time.
​
Err, I think that could have something to do with US foreign policy perhaps predating our invasions of Iraq/Afghanistan. To be fair, you yanks are still rank amateurs at this. It will be a while before you can attain the masterful levels of shit-stirring us Brits perfected over a century ago.
