  • @WeDieYoung1083 in 1980 americans supplied the ragheads to take down the soviet union they did just that and were loved for taking down theyre enemy

  • @Frogstomp121

    true

    but the one who is killing innocent aren,t the muslims its you western people you come into our countries destroy our history steal our oil and you think its weird we place IED,s and kill you

  • One human life is the same as any other, and nobodies is worth more or less. I think people should be able to feel the pain of every human life no matter who or where it is. In wars people sometimes get tunnel vision and think the end justifies the means.

  • @Frogstomp121

    the USA uses to much power to kill the taliban by killing innocents, and damaging everything

  • Yes, I can, but can you? I was hoping for an honest answer but usually that is hard to come by sometimes with some people.

  • What was Operation Northwoods? I can't remember.

  • Because that's how it should be. In a sane world, there is no question that a person who looks out for you feels better than someone who is never there for you. The real question should be what can be done to bring this world just a little bit closer to reconciliation and towards maturity.

  • BINGO,

    thats how the world works, "whats in it for me?" thats how the world has always functioned, so why should the U.S. be any different and stick its neck out for others?

  • Yeah but not everyone will agree on what terrorism means, and I am not one of those people who condemns violence and oppression while endorsing it when it suits my own purposes. Read the interview by Orlando Bosch where he justifies blowing up an airliner because it was directed against Castro's regime. He's also been on the CIA's payroll and is now in the U.S. Witness Protection Program. One man's terorrist is another's freedom fighter.

  • My knowledge of Rwanda is only vague, but I believe the U.S. knew about the genocide and downplayed it because they did not want a repeat of Somalia (Black Hawk Down) and because Rwanda did not have any political or strategic importance for them, like Iraq. I don't think it is about morality so much as it is what's in it for me? Why didn't the U.S. stop Operation Condor? Because they secretly enjoyed it I think. I don't pick sides since they both use violence as long as it suits their own needs.
