Lax_Bro40's"I'm in political science, I'm being told how to think. I am right, they said so." So you don't think if we left nations alone no one would fuck with us? so you say what we do benefits everyone in the world.
Pearl harbor ... we had sanctions on them before they attacked, economically raping them; of course, they retaliated.
Oh hey look at what we are doing to Iran right now, but they are trying to get nukes, just like Iraq, oh wait they didn't have nukes. Why did we fuck up Iran again? something to do with Kuwait? We executed Saddam without trial, wait so even the Nazi's had trials?
So why would anyone want to fly a plane into an American building, oh they hated our freedom, that's right. Not like we were fucking with them at all prior.
let the fuckings commence

ended, Washington makes it known that the sanctions would remain as long
as Saddam remains in power. Sanctions in fact strengthen Saddam's
position. Asked about the horrendous human consequences of the
sanctions, Madeleine Albright (U.S. ambassador to the UN and later
Secretary of State) declares that "the price is worth it."14 500,000 dead we never found the elusive WMD's there

America's foreign policy is fucked.
Maybe, if we sorta stopped fucking with other nations, they wouldn't try to attack us. I'm all for defense, but fuck the CIA. The CIA is the biggest terrorist organization ever.
