They didn't attack us, a military oligarchy attacked us. The kids didn't attack us.

They quit quickly when we bombed, so why wouldn't they have quit with an embargo?

And we could have dropped those bombs on a military installation, or blown up a mountain-lol.

I think they would have gotten the idea.

I think it was insensitive revenge. And in the end the same terrorism we condemn today ie. killing innocent women and children.
