    Afghanistan

    Nothing to do with Al Qaeda

    Maybe /pol/ isn’t the best source for deep thoughts.

      Yeah that’s like, a very basic fact to mess up so badly. Noone seriously disputes that Al-Qaeda did 9/11 (not just “in partnership with” as though they were along for the ride) and the country the US invaded that had nothing to do with 9/11 was Iraq, not Afghanistan.

      Americans have a collective memory that lasts more than 3 years challenge (impossible difficulty)

        Yeah, like how people in Mexico do illegal things so USA should bomb the fuck out of Mexico, right? jfc.

        The imperial mindset is strong here.

          Nobody is talking bombings, mate, just arguing what “nothing to do” means.

          This ain’t about (the scale of) military interventions, but about rhetorics and semantics.

          If you wanna be morally superior, at least get your facts right.
