What's the real point here, though?

2020-12-28 16:15:49 UTC  

Iran contra, guatemala, Libya

2020-12-28 16:16:03 UTC  

Did you attack anyone over that?

2020-12-28 16:16:07 UTC  

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

2020-12-28 16:16:22 UTC  

This is absolutely true...

2020-12-28 16:16:29 UTC  

This is my point.

2020-12-28 16:16:35 UTC  

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

2020-12-28 16:17:26 UTC  

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

2020-12-28 16:17:44 UTC  

We also have that right...

2020-12-28 16:17:46 UTC  

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

2020-12-28 16:17:57 UTC  

Of course not.

2020-12-28 16:18:07 UTC  

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

2020-12-28 16:18:27 UTC  

"The government would never do that"

2020-12-28 16:18:33 UTC  

"This could never happen here"

2020-12-28 16:18:38 UTC  

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

2020-12-28 16:18:44 UTC  

Rather than drone striking you. lol

2020-12-28 16:19:05 UTC  

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

2020-12-28 16:19:12 UTC  

Using electronics

2020-12-28 16:19:30 UTC  

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

2020-12-28 16:19:47 UTC  

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

2020-12-28 16:19:55 UTC  

oh boy

2020-12-28 16:20:07 UTC  

Here we go

2020-12-28 16:20:57 UTC  

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.

2020-12-28 16:21:09 UTC  

They weren't

2020-12-28 16:21:10 UTC  

I don't believe it was an inside job.

2020-12-28 16:21:28 UTC  

At all.

2020-12-28 16:21:39 UTC  

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

2020-12-28 16:24:20 UTC  

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.

2020-12-28 16:24:44 UTC  

@Maw Did you serve in Iraq?

2020-12-28 16:24:47 UTC  

They used 9/11 as a catalyst

2020-12-28 16:25:00 UTC  

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

2020-12-28 16:25:38 UTC  

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

2020-12-28 16:25:52 UTC  

It started when I was like 13.

2020-12-28 16:26:17 UTC  

My brother was in the first wave of troops though.

2020-12-28 16:26:40 UTC  

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

2020-12-28 16:26:49 UTC  

I was there in 2006-2007

2020-12-28 16:26:50 UTC  

My oldest brother that is.

2020-12-28 16:27:30 UTC  

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

2020-12-28 16:27:43 UTC  

?

2020-12-28 16:27:52 UTC  

Uss liberty

2020-12-28 16:28:06 UTC  

We did find chemical weapons...
