Whether I'd take that out on citizens of the west I dunno, and to be fair I think you get a lot of shit with posts like "cruci mad cos america bombed the shit out o his country'... well who the fuck wouldn't be 
Strikes me you are taking out your pain/anger/etc on the wrong people though, and not exactly making people stop and think about the carnage/misery caused to actual people who have fuck all to do with what their govt's do. I'd wager most on here don't like the fact the west 'help' with invasions and oil grabs, and the rest don't pay that much attention to it.
Barking out your above quote every couple of days does pretty much fuck all to give anyone pause for thought though, and is about as useful as bladeidiots and his other accounts spouting 'foreign nic in a foreign country is a fakebot putin blahblah' at everything. It's like justifying police brutality just because criminals are also bad. One does not absolve the other. |
He lives in Serbia which was bombed when they refused to stop the genocide of Bosnian's, killed UN troops, shot down NATO planes, etc.
Now the bombs being dropped are being dropped on ISIS another group that is determined to die in order to seize the ME. Which would fuck the whole world. The present terrorist campaign started after the Afghan War. When the US mistakenly gave the Afghans weapons to fight the Russian invaders.

Quote:
The USS Cole bombing was a terrorist attack against the United States Navy guided-missile destroyer USS Cole (DDG-67) on 12 October 2000, while it was being refueled in Yemen's Aden harbor. Seventeen American sailors were killed and 39 injured[1] in the deadliest attack against a United States naval vessel since 1987.
The terrorist organization al-Qaeda claimed responsibility for the attack against the USA. A U.S. judge has held Sudan liable for the attack, while another has released over $13 million in Sudanese frozen assets to the relatives of those killed. The United States Navy has reconsidered their rules of engagement in response to this attack.

The 1993 World Trade Center bombing was a terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, carried out on February 26, 1993, when a truck bomb detonated below the North Tower of the World Trade Center in New York City. The 1,336 pounds (606 kg) urea nitrate–hydrogen gas enhanced device[1] was intended to send the North Tower (Tower 1) crashing into the South Tower (Tower 2), bringing both towers down and killing tens of thousands of people.[2][3] It failed to do so but killed six people and injured over a thousand.[4]
The attack was planned by a group of terrorists including Ramzi Yousef, Mahmud Abouhalima, Mohammad Salameh, Nidal A. Ayyad, Abdul Rahman Yasin, and Ahmed Ajaj. They received financing from Khaled Sheikh Mohammed, Yousef's uncle. In March 1994, four men were convicted of carrying out the bombing: Abouhalima, Ajaj, Ayyad, and Salameh. The charges included conspiracy, explosive destruction of property, and interstate transportation of explosives. In November 1997, two more were convicted: Ramzi Yousef, the mastermind behind the bombings, and Eyad Ismoil, who drove the truck carrying the bomb.

Only after 9/11 did the US say enough was enough and attacked Afghanistan. Iraq was a colossal mistake and the result of voting in an easily manipulated idiot, twice. It upset a delicate balance in the ME and confirms Muslims are more a threat to other Muslims than they are to Westerners. |
