I don't think I need to mention Israel and how it was founded and we cover its war crimes by vetoing UN security counsel resolutions, so I left that out

"That's a little one sided, don't you think?"
Yeah war tends to be one-sided when a terrorist state is involved.

"Could you post that link that has a US leader on a platform, surrounded by a mob, screaming "DEATH TO INFIDELS?"
Since you asked, yes:

1. Saddam was never a CIA asset, we did not support his coup. This is a fairy tale.
2. We never supported Osama. This is also a fairy tale. We supported the Mujahadeen, which were mostly NOT Taliban, and certainly did NOT include the pussy Osama.
3. US companies did NOT fund both sides of the Iran - Iraq war. The US did not fund the Iraqi chemical weapons program. These are just lies, and bad lies at that.
4. The Iraq sanctions were imposed by the UN, not the US. The only reason they were 'deadly' was because Saddam used the money from the Oil-for-Food to buy weapons from the French, and to build palaces with gold toilets.
5. Reiteration - Osama was never a CIA asset. You repeat your lies.
So, why the fiction and lies? Could it be that truth and facts don't support your premise?

Americans are simple minded people who have the attention span of a 2 year old, that's why i suspect. What you stated in your question isn't your opinion but a absolute fact of what has happened when it comes to US foreign policy. It is very easy and convenient to think of 911 as the starting point of all this unrest and makes it possible to ignore the facts that have actually lead up to this big ugly mess(the standard in this country is to stick your head in the sand and ignore reality and watch the super bowl along with john Wayne movies and talk about how great we are while we violate international law on a daily basis) And by the way I'm an American and embarrassed to say so...................Great Question

I myself am quite against US invasion and its entering into war, not only because it is killing muslims but also because it is bringing tears to many american families. Being a muslim myself I can understand how people feel about US and its actions. But I dont think this is how policies are made and politics are played.
In politics one has to be tactful and shrewd. Once CIA had no use for OBL or Saddam, they would throw them out and specially once both of them were trying to gain popular support by raising voice against USA.
So, whenever it started, we will never be able to find out........it will continue just like that............world can never be a unipolar political system...........communism is now replaced by Islam and some day USA will be replaced and this is how it will go on and on.......

I believe that people have gone through out each decade and the first terrible thing to happen usually is where the blame goes to. I understand....people's nature is to blame anything and everything that doesn't involve them and since we're the USA we're invincible....that's the atmosphere. Today we have so much crap going on in USA that no one pays attention to it. I don't think we needed to go to war because it's stupid! All that occured was Twin Towers, the Pentagon and a PA field....this makes no reason for us to go to war...this is what the world wanted to see us do. Act like children with our bombs, tanks and etc. and go beat up the bullies messing with the "invincible" USA.

Could you post that link that has a US leader on a platform, surrounded by a mob, screaming "DEATH TO INFIDELS?"
EDIT: Your links do not do anything of the sort. And Ann Coulter, Jerry Falwell, and whoever else your radical left links are slamming, ARE NOT US LEADERS. They are also not advocating killing Muslims. If Ann Coulter said that, and I do mean IF, it was her usual off-color sense of HUMOR.

I Believe it is a easy "benchmark" for our government to use when describing "the war on terrorism" 9/11 sticks in peoples minds because "it happened to us" ...the events prior to this were buried in the news or people just didn't pay attention because of the "it was over-there it wasn't us" mentality.

Because that would be the perfect excuse for Bush to send our troops to Iraq.... The majority of American people are stupid and will believe anything they are told..... if Bush says he wasn't part of 9/11 then they believe him........ most of our country is full of Redneck idiots that will believe anything a Redneck has to tell them.
