Please don't confuse the issue. Such facts will mess up the rewrite of history.

There is a similarity to what you say..".But since the U.S. supported the attacks it cannot be called a crime".....and this guy from U of Colorado who is in hot water. His remarks.. written as far as I know.. but not preached in classroom said that 9/11 was deserved for all the people that the U.S. had killed and named the figure... It was a lot.. He is under the gun for this statement and others supporting his position.. In some way I can connect with both of these statements. However it goes back to an eye for an eye. For everyone you kill we will kill two more. It really gets us nowhere. McNamara in his interview on STARZ TV.. Fog of War.. points this concept out. He is 85 now and is responding to questions asked him about his role in the various U.S. policies during the Kennedy and Johnson presidencies. He had about 12 points of wisdom to purport...All interesting. He said one thing .. Know your enemy and put yourself in his shoes. It might make you see how responses to actions are brought about. Kennedy incidentally was a diplomat. Johnson on the other hand was not. Kennedy sought in put. Johnson made up his own mind. Results 58.000 Americans dead in the Viet Nam war.
