``911 really happened, and happened because of a few radical, extremist murdurers, and
the planners sat on their butts watching and waiting to see how successful they would
be``
If Reagan hadn't called OBL a 'freedom fighter'', given him millions of dollars and supplied him with armaments,
That was a different time, when the cold war was alive and well, and the
soviet union was the 'main' enemy, so I can understand why the help was
given to the 'freedom fighters', and OBL was amongst them, but he wasn't
the person he later turned into, so, with respect, we have to follow time
and realize why those things happened, there is no way the u.s. wanted
to allow the soviet union to take over Afghanistan, and yes, oil is part of
the answer, it always is isn't it!!!! And, everyone talks a bout oil as though
it is an accessorie, it is extremely important, and someday hopefully the
u.s. won't have to depend on it.
while Bush was on vacation and reading comic books, it would not have happened. I do not know what the solution is to the problem of Afghanistan,
Afghanistan shouldn't be combined with Iraq, different situation entirely.
but the European nations are quitting Bush's war there. And history proves that a go-it-alone approach never works.
