"people who are bound in poverty and dictatorship are going to lash out" at their dictators. Hungry, Czechoslovakia didn't lash out at US in '56; they lashed out against Russia. Tunisians lashed out against their leader, Libyans, Syrians, Iranians, et al, austerity-rioting Europeans.... they aren't lashing out against us. No, they really don't "Hate us for our freedoms". That's a RW lie.
However, they do hate us cuz we blew the shit out of their family or town or co-religionists in another country, victims of Shrub's uh "crusade" (his words).
"we were attacked"... by Saudi Arabians trained and financed in Afghanistan by a rich Saudi. Logically, we should have attacked the Saudis, not Iraq. However, them Saudis may be dictators, but they be our dictators.
"the Freedom Agenda was a reasonable response to 9/11. "
Actually, it wasn't. |
