People have become reliant on services and retailers to live. Without them, a majority would die.

E.g: Someone harms your wife. You'd want to seriously harm them. Someone kills someone in another country in an unjustified way. You feel bad, doesn't mean you don't care (kinda the opposite!) it just means you'd care more about people harming people close to you.

What's the real point here, though?

Iran contra, guatemala, Libya

Did you attack anyone over that?

Attacks on US soil would make Americans very, very angry. They must be more subtle.

This is absolutely true...

This is my point.

It's the reason I joined in the first place, the attack on the Trade Centers.

Americans would literally overthrow their government if what happened in Iraq happened in the US in any small scale.

We also have that right...

Therefore the government can't just bomb Americans on American soil carte blanche.

Of course not.

But... Then again, even if they did.. Would we believe it was true?

"The government would never do that"

"This could never happen here"

They would use subtle methods like hacking new vehicles and making you swerve off the road.

Rather than drone striking you. lol

I really do fear how interconnected everything is these days and how easy it is to make a bad day for someone.

Using electronics

They would not blow you up around a ton of witnesses in the middle of a ton of CCTVs.

They have to use useful idiots and ignore them as they drive planes into towers to justify war

oh boy

Here we go

There are certain aspects of the 9/11 attack that don't make sense to me... But, I don't think that the hijackers were employed by the government.

They weren't

I don't believe it was an inside job.

At all.

It's easy just to entrap and let extremist do what they do

They didn't justify the war (nor really engage in the war in a constitutional means) using 9/11. They used WMDs and fear-mongering.

@Maw Did you serve in Iraq?

They used 9/11 as a catalyst

Both of which were kinda irrelevant because Vietnam opened up a can of worms that never should have been opened in terms of precedents.

No, but many in my family did. I was a little too young at the time.

It started when I was like 13.

My brother was in the first wave of troops though.

(He's like... 8-9 years older than me I think?)

I was there in 2006-2007

My oldest brother that is.

We used israel blowing up a ship to get support for getting involved in a world war.
