    I care more about the million Iraqis we murdered or at least enabled the death of in a global temper tantrum as we set the stage for a headlong descent into fascism.

      People don’t think much about Afghanistan already, yet that’s the country that got invaded first after 9/11

        To be fair, Afghanistan was actually involved in the 9/11 plot, unlike Iraq.

          Yes, all 45 000 civilians killed by the US military were involved…

          Funny, because it turned out to be Saudis. And Bin Laden himself was bunkered in Pakistan.

        It simply killed many fewer people with an at least half-assed justification, instead of an outright lie to justify a neocrusade.

          Turns out it was also a lie in Afghanistan and the people who financed ObL must be laughing their ass off about it!
