"The only reason you are saying that is because you feel that 9/11 is a valid excuse for us to fight the "terrorists" in afg"But... wasn't Afghanistan where the Taliban was granting Al Qaeda safe haven? Doesn't that make it a valid excuse? Yes, I do feel 9/11 is a valid excuse to fight there.It's not f**king stupid, and last time I checked, this many years into the Russian's war, they had lost several thousand men because we were arming the Afghans. That ain't how it is this time - the Russians aren't arming them, so no, I don't think we'll come home defeated like the Russians."Killing terrorists makes more terrorists. Period."So you're admitting there are terrorists there? What do you propose we do with them, then, instead of killing them? Bring them to our community centers for a feel good pep talk? Think that will stop them? Clearly, the US has to change it's foreign policy to be less hostile to the Arab world, and that will go a long way, but I do feel that Al Qaeda should be eliminated for what they have done. You're not going to convince me otherwise.Look, I'm a Democrat, I'm against the war in Iraq, and I'm opposed to most of what the Bush Administration has done to our country. But frankly, I think you're wrong.

If Iran really is sending weapons to Iraq that are killing US marines and soldiers id give em kudos, it's a shame theyre not though as the US armed forces and CIA are the two biggest terrorist organizations in the world.Since al Qaeda began in 1988 they have caused the deaths of less than 100,000 innocent peopleon the other hand, just since 9/11 US troops have led to the deaths of over 1 million innocent peopleNot to mention the thousands dead at the hands of private mercenary companies such as Blackwater.You can argue that our soldiers are just taking orders from the higher ups, but then again so are the ones who carry out the attacks for al qaeda, both volunteered to kill.So what makes them terrorists and our soldiers/mercs/CIA/etc. noble heroes? If anything, the ones in Iraq and Afghanistan we call terrorists are simply fighting an invading army, if China attacked us and we fought back on our homeland would we be terrorists too?i find it funny how Americans are so hypocritical and brainwashed that they can't see that our troops/government are terrorists much like al Qaeda, even worse, for we kill about a million innocent civilians around the world in various countries each decade for corporate gain and geopolitical power. Also lol at you for not knowing the difference between shiite and sunni and just thinking all the people and groups in the middle east are the same.

You are a total jerk. She's from Portugal and has a master's degree. Obviously you aren't very educated. She pronounced everything perfectly right. You are just grabbing at straws.
