They should've made a media blackout, and completely rebuilt the buildings exactly the same. Everyone in the U.S. Would know what happened, but in a morale crushing move, simply pretend it didn't.

If Obama had nuked Iraq after 9/11, everyone would have been bitching about how he's basically become a dictator that does everything by executive order. I think he did the best he could with the congress he had.

I know it's not politically correct but maybe they should have gone in killed all the males over say 12 and round everyone else up to sell to china or whoever as slaves. The world wouldn't have to deal with the poo poo hole that is Afghanistan and it could be turned into a spring break destination or something.

I feel like flipping the gently caress out and kicking the collective asses of the guys who did it along with everyone who looked even a little bit like them was a pretty cool response. That kind of mental, completely disproportionate response is sure to make our enemies think twice before screwing with us!

Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 and had no weapons of mass destruction. So... why is it that Bush decided to gently caress that country up?

I was going to argue with you but you're right, this is even better. Maybe we could have photoshopped a postcard of a guy smiling and waving in front of the still-standing towers, write THANKS FOR THE PLANES!! XOXOX on the back and send it to Afghanistan with a nice fruit basket

after 9/11 we spent trillions of dollars on unnecessary bullshit, invaded countries that had nothing to do with it in order to cause more people to become terrorists and hate the US, and we took a steaming poo poo all over the rights of citizens (PATRIOT act and poo poo)

I think the terrorists won

The point of going into iraq was to destabilize the Sunni Shiite thing. Its like a giant fly catcher, we let them kill each other there and they dont try to kil us here. Look, they even leave here to go fight there. Sure we killed countless civilians because of this policy but who cares - they are poor and brown. Mission accomplished. Oh and butt torture just because.
