Some comments are still idiotic but the ones being played non stop by the media (God damn America) is completely different when in context.
I still don't get why it's been such a big deal in the first place.
This country has meddled in other countries affairs for far too long. Sooner or later we were bound to make enemies, and it just so happens one of those enemies was wacky in the wicky woo.
Yes America brought 9/11 on, that statement doesn't make those atrocities right, but it was through our government that the resentment and hate was bred. The people killed in the Twin Towers that day deserved none of it. For that those perpetrators must come to justice, but to bury our head in the sand and act like none of the fault was ours is such a linear way of looking at it.
Sadly terrorism isn't about "victory", it's about fear. And the American people fell for it hook, line, and sinker.
The saddest part of all of this? We've created a new generation that hates us, and destroyed too many of our best. A new generation of young men and women going through the same crap that ended my fathers life.
He didn't physically die in Nam, but all of his hopes, dreams, and ambitions did. God damn America...
