It's an odd place to fight back in a war for revenge. I'm not disputing the blowback angle, though. It's long past the time we end the 'shooting war' against an ideology and ramp up the worldwide investigative and law enforcement campaign we should have conducted in the first place.Big Bad Bald Bastardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01983025559556548658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8526498499129692237.post-28858261782876450012017-11-02T14:56:15.479-04:002017-11-02T14:56:15.479-04:00Heaven knows that when we flattened Baghdad in 199...Heaven knows that when we flattened Baghdad in 1991 and again in 2003, when we blew Faluja off the map not once, but twice, when we destroyed Raqqa in order to 'liberate' it, when we killed thousands of people in Mogadishu in one day in '93 or dropped cruise missiles on al-Shifa in Sudan in '98 we were very careful not to kill any Uzbekis, because we're the fucking good guys...mikeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13057701313718589322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8526498499129692237.post-49886693355337573402017-11-02T13:42:39.013-04:002017-11-02T13:42:39.013-04:00three quarters of the fatalities are foreign visit...three quarters of the fatalities are foreign visitors, and 'mikey' is going on about how the revenge of arab muslims (by the way, uzbeks are not 'arabs') against americans is more or less justified? even trump is less stupid than thatmistah charley, ph.d.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06303695341246058680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8526498499129692237.post-7294895672032862522017-11-02T12:12:25.941-04:002017-11-02T12:12:25.941-04:00Meh.

I frankly have little sympathy.<br /><br />The US has been slaughtering Arab Muslims for decades, and beating her chest and crowing about being AT WAR!!!<br /><br />Well, it's a funny thing about war. The enemy gets to shoot back. We have destroyed entire countries, destroyed millions of lives and created millions more young people who's entire lived experience is being killed by Americans.<br /><br />If we are going to rend our garments every time they fight back, maybe we should reconsider our generational 'war'. It's massive one-sided as it is, but they aren't going to stop killing us when they can. <br /><br />Live with it, or end it...mikeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13057701313718589322noreply@blogger.com
