I watched a lot of that video waiting for the punch line that never came. Is that guy a serious journalist? Good for him for getting hired. What odd delivery.

Maybe you could ask him to grow some tits and be more American for you.

When will the terrorist get the 100% share of responsibility? Without terrorists, there are no civilians getting injured or killed by either side.

The terrorists were primarily in Pakistan, not Afghanistan... Always have been. It should have been pretty obvious to our "intelligence" community, seeing as how Pakistan is the ONLY country on the planet that has ever recognized the Taliban's authority as a government, even back in 2001/2002...

But, you know, Pakistan is the 3rd-biggest recipient of financial aid from the United States every year (not to mention nukes), so I guess it was a better PR move on the American homefront to keep bombing the f*ck out of Afghanistan until we could finish building the Trans-Afghanistan Pipeline. At least we kept the appearance of trying to do something about the guy who caused 9/11, even though we really had no interest in looking for him...

But it's always easier to blame someone else for your own actions, and it's even easier to get away with it when your scapegoat is a piece of sh!t like bin Laden. We used 9/11 as a free pass to do whatever we wanted in the Middle East, and we did. We completely OWN that region of the world now - between us and Israel, we have troops in (or on the border of) every Mid-East nation.

But the terrorists aren't the ones who have suffered the most at the hands of America in Afghanistan - it's the people. It's always the people. At the end of the day, this can't be justified by this - both actions are the result of squabbling rich assholes who have no qualms about using our lives for their profit.

I hear you...to a point.

Bottom line, if the Terrorist don't do what they do, then there is no reason, real or perceived to be in the area.

Think about it, take the terrorist out of the equation and is there any justification for being involved?

Bottom line, the terrorist are responsible for all the actions that have occurred and thus the civilian and military casualties and deaths are a direct result of the Terrorist. They have succeeded in terrorizing their own people.

Pure and simple, it's evil people doing evil things and setting up a series of intended and unintended consequences. To add to this, they have no ruling government in which to sit down and have "Talks" ... they are like Roaches, the only way to end the terror is to eradicate them...sadly others have and will continue to be Collateral Damage.

Heck, look at the Israel/Palestine issue...this is the direct result of other countries attacking Israel and then LOSING and thus losing ground/land. They now use this land as a buffer and a zone to keep Israel safe. Sadly these people that fall into Palestine were left high and dry by the nations that they had been a part of. They need to call out those who participate in Terror rather than condone their actions. Help Israel be safe, and I am certain that Israel would recognize and live in peace with those who live in this region.

I find it amazing that so much has been the result of Terrorists, throughout the world, yet they appear to be the last one anyone wants to be responsible for their own actions. They are criminals, period and should be dealt with accordingly.
