al-Qaeda responsible for changing the government of a leading Western democracy?
King Tech Quadafi:
That is incorrect thinking. Al Qaeda is the most extreme twisted response to percieved persecution and oppression. This is revenge and anger in its most vile form. Its the hate you create. And the links between the Baathists and Al Qaedia types was nil, now you have every abdul mohamed and ali flocking to iraq to pick off Americans.
King Tech Quadafi:
To stress, this idea that they are attacking the "freedoms" and all that jazz is crap. Its meant to do 2 things:
1- Mobilize popular support for military actions
2- Cover up their own role in these messes. Its inconcievable how not once has these american media outlets asked why 9/11 happened? What has our govt done to warrant such a response? Cover up your own tracks but focusing on the enemy. Smart tactic
Woodrow:
LOL! You Moron!
Trauma-san:
The most twisted logic I've ever seen. He can't even condemn the bombing of trains in Spain, it's somehow the U.S.'s fault that these people KILL people. I don't really give a fuck if they all flood Iraq taking pot shots, because for every 1 american they kill, we're killing 200 or more of them, so bring them on. We're getting the population problems sorted out, send those evil bastards to hell where they belong, we're done with them here.
ITW [the irish boy]:
Put simply ... Iraq wasnt connected with al-queda
when the u.s and their small group of allies attacked iraq it gave al queda a rallying point. people in the middle east (and elsewhere) saw it as an attack on islam, and therefore their anger turned against the 3 country coalition (just as americans anger turned to afghanistan after 911). So when al queda attacked spain it was a direct result of their involvement in Iraq. Now considering that there were huge protests in spain over the war in iraq, an attack like this was always going to resurface those concerns. The spanish governments attempt to cover-up the incident has resulted in them being evicted from office. I would also like to offer my condolences to the families of the deceased, one of the girls i work with is from madrid and knows people whose family died. It was a tradgedy, and those responsible should pay.
As for "LIBERALS NEED TO GET THEIR SHIT STRAIGHT"... maybe you should get it straight. The US's only remaining ally in the war (blair) is leader of the labour party, the british liberal, left wing party. Your black and white portrayal of the events doesnt fit.
Also if you look at the arguments before the war, you may see some of the prophecies like "your stirring a bees nest", and "your provoking more people to turn to extremism" are starting to come true. It's a worrying trend and hopefully in the future policies will be made with this in mind.
