Let's go back to era before September 11, 2001. What did USA do to get attacked on its own soil by a few (3-4) psychos? Why did they hijacked and flew those planes into WTC? You know that thousands of innocent lives were gone that day? I am not even going to care about economical damage. If those guys who wanted to fight with the USA because they had some kind of problem, why did they not go military action route and instead chose the coward's route? Pathetic does not even begin to describe those waste of organic materials.
Regarding Iraq, though Saddam was not a psycho like Ahmedinejad, he was a dictator and eccentric. There was no clear communication about WMD from Iraq. You can claim that the war was not needed with the advantage of hindsight, which is always 20/20.
It all boils down to this. Most of the Islamic countries hate the west (USA the most). They will attack the USA no matter USA leaves them alone or not. To protect US citizens and its allies, if US is taking any proactive actions, what is wrong?
Do they need to wait till the second 9/11 happens? Like how India keeps getting attacked (Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Banglore, Jaipur, New Delhi and a little place called Kashmir)? And just not do anything like a coward? Sorry, the first world countries are the first world countries because they have always been proactive and not reactive.
well its not as harsh as you think either...
firstly not all arabs or islamic countries hate the us.. i know a lot of arabs who adore the west, secondly even if we rule out the option that the whole 9/11 fiasco was an inside job to get international permission to attack afghanistan, you cannot blame the islamic or arab countries for an act commited by maybe a cult like alqaeda or something else of the sort...
what has the us done to protect its citizens ?? by destroying other countries for its economical benefit howexactly is the us protecting its own citizens?? to be proactive at the cost of humanity does not make us a superhero .. comingto the topic of discussion - i completely agree with what
