      If you thought Osama bin Laden was bad, just wait until the countless children who become orphaned by U.S. bombs in the coming weeks are all grown up.

      That time is now btw

        What has the middle east ever seen the US do besides:

        • Buy their oil, at the point of a sword
        • Fund extremists to overthrow their governments, to give them more favourable oil terms
        • Bomb their and their neighbours' civilian populations/infrastructure with relative impunity
        • Hand weapons to nations committing wars and genocides against them and their neighbours
        • Provide backing to extremist friendly regimes, artificially propping up monarchies and dictators
        • Invade, destabilise, and then bail on them and their neighbours, creating horrific refugee crises
        • Constantly threaten to turn them and their neighbours "to glass" if they get uppity
        • Abandon their regional partners/interpreters to the whims of the forces they were previously fighting against

          Don't forget the part where the west virtue signals "freedom and democracy" while arming, financing, and supporting authoritarian monarchies/dictatorships across the developing world.

              I guess all of this comes under the general auspices of wiping their arses with International Law, whilst demanding adherence from others, and telling everyone to thank them for doing it.

                I lived in New York City on 9/11/2001.

                The Village Voice was a weekly 'alternative' newspaper that covered politics, culture, and the arts.

                The pot smoking hippies ran dozens of predictions of what would happen. that included two cartoons.

                One showed Dubya as Mickey Mouse. the sorcerer's apprentice was chopping up a broom that looked like Sadam, and getting a million little brooms that looked like bin Ladn. The other was a buddy cop movie where Sadam and bin-Ladn are forced to work together, and eventually learn from each other
