The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

[scaeagles]

Other countries? Which other countries?

Afghanistan wasn't a preemptive strike. They were assisting the terrorists who planned and funded 9/11.

I can see the argument that Iraq was a preemptive strike, but I do not subscribe to it myself, as the reality is that Iraq repeatedly violated cease fire agreements from the first gulf war.

Where else have we preemptively struck? We haven't done anything to Iran. We haven't done anything to Syria.

I do blame them for wanting to cause us harm. I do not think we are a bully. We deposed a terrorist sympathetic government in Afghanistan, and deposed the leader of a country who wouldn't abide by agreements he made after he was removed from Kuwait.

What were we doing prior to 9/11 that should in any way been seen as excusing 9/11? Supporting Isreal?
