what do you mean by wars? which wars? if you want to make an argument about iraq, then specify iraq.

to club in afghanistan with iraq may be trendy but it is nonsensical. nobody went to war in a fourth-world toilet like afghanistan for fun. the US justly and mandatorily invaded afghanistan in response to a large-scale unprovoked act of war perpetrated by a terrorist network firmly ensconced in the country as guests of the ruling government…and it did so with full support of the international community.

by your logic, you should be blaming the afghan citizens for not overthrowing their government in protest of its behavior and relationships with al-qaeda.

Wasnt the ultimate seed that lead up to 9/11 sown by the US? Wasnt it the US that created the mess to begin with in pursuit of its cold war interests?

While no one can support 9/11, or the killing of innocent people, but the US did create the problem to begin with.

Its difficult to sympathize completely with the US given their history of involvement in the region. The US is as much a victim of its own policies, as it is of Al Qaeda.

It would be naive to believe that its completely unprovoked. I know we all demonize Al Qaeda and the Taliban, I do the same. I think we turn them into almost fictitious super villains, whose sole purpose is world domination..
But I dont think reality is so 1 dimensional. There is a very long and complex history that has created Al Qaeda, and the animosity that seems to be present in the Muslim world.
