>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 :-)
