>backlash??? why?

why did 911 happen?

>can you show me a similar situation in modern history?

911

>what about the massive backlash predicted by going to >Afghanistan.

Bombings in kabul, attempted assination of the afghan president. attempted US embassy bombings last week. There's a few off the top of my head, or would you like some more 911's? maybe in another 12 months.


>seems the only backlash was:

>1) driving out the taliban

to pakistan

>2) driving out terrorists and destroying terrorist bases

to pakistan

>3) letting them choose their own government through >democratic elections


>4) rebuilding the infrastructure of the country

give them 50 billion and they might be on the way to providing food, shelter and education to their children in winter

>is that the type of backlash you worry about?

911 on a much larger scale targeting all US allies.



i'm not retarded. are you? you seem to like the word :-)
