i just wanted to know why you all think it started.
being that I was only eleven or twelve when the thing began, I don't really know about alot of the politics at the time, but I think that one of the reasons the american people got into it so quickly was simple bloodlust. basically, they bombed our towers, so we want to retaliate. looking back on it, i think it's totally ridiculous that we went into a war that would lead to thousands of deaths, the destruction of multiple arab cities, not to mention tons more debt. besides that, we didn't even know the right person to attack when this thing began. 9/11 was horrible, but the decision to rush into battle was just brash and ill-planned. |

I personally think that the whole iraqi democracy thing the US tried to use as a reason for staying there is a load of bull. America doesn't give a rat's ass about the middle east, save for their oil. I'm by no means muslim, but I can't really complain about jihad either. We deseerve a bit of violence and a fall of our "empire". The US has been screwing people for too long.
