Doesn't matter where they came from, it matters who they were working for. As I said, the Saudis took out their own trash after.
AFG government, such as it was, actively harbored AQ and UBL, so they got what they had coming.
I never said 9/11 was a justification for OIF, that's between you and your elected reps.

Six of one, half dozen of the other.The Arabic word Shaheed means testifier or witness. In Islamic sharia, this word is used for someone who is killed when fighting the enemies of Allah’s سُبحنَه وَتَعَالي religion, or protecting an Islamic land from the invasion of disbelievers. How can we ever hope to achieve world peace without 1st blasting to paradise beyond anything or anyone standing in our way?

Yeah back on topic. So obviously we’re better off than a lot of places, but let’s say there is a huge jet fuel crunch in Incheon, for example, can we reserve gas there or are we in the same spot as everyone else?
Could Europe jet fuel shortfalls mess with our summer plans?

On April 7th Trump tweeted a threat to destroy the Persian nation with nuclear weapons. (".....never to be brought back again")
And yes, it appears that he came to that point simply due to impatience. (He had grown frustrstrated with them not surrendering and our economy was being harmed)
It isn't the summer of '45. We are not in a total war situation with Iran.(although Iran has been put in a situation where they are in a total war circumstance with the USA)
We know what using them entails.
Assuming the use could be limited to Iran only, (not a certainty) after the collapse of the Iranian government from the use of nukes, then what?
How would the humanitarian crisis be addressed?
How would the refugee crisis be addressed?
How would the USA survive the fallout of joining the ranks of history's greatest criminals?
How would the world avoid devolving to Hobbesian chaos and fractured disaster?
Only complete "f.. .ing morons" think that today a nuke can be used and it will be just a 'one off, that's it' event.
I hope someday we find out what occurred on April 7th.
And then put structures in place to control any phsycopaths with access to such power.

I think the idea of “proportionality” is dumb as dirt. I’m all for terminating any hostilities as quickly as possible with as few casualties as possible to my side. The worst wars in history were fought with both sides having “proportionality” in status of forces. Having your side having to take “proportional” casualties means you believe your cause is no more worthy than theirs. In which case the victory goes inevitably to the side that holds life less dear.
