And I suppose the question might arise that who TF are we to invade a sovereign nation because we don't like who it's government chooses for it's friends? Who it gives aid and comfort to? Lots of countries give aid and comfort to enemies of this country. If we were to believe the propaganda we were fed by our government, every sovereign communist bloc country (including Cuba) provided aid and comfort to enemies of this country for over 40 years.
But all of a sudden because a pack of fanatics, most of whom were Saudi's (otherwise our long-term trusted allies), managed to pull off 9/11 under the noses of the CIA, FBI, NSA, and AFLCIO...we go marching in to a shithole like Afghanistan. Why didn't we invade Saudi Arabia...oh no, can't do that, we need cheap gas for our POS Chevy Suburbans.
Perhaps we should have gone marching into Russia in 1955 or 1965 or 1975 for giving aid and comfort to enemies of this country, and had our asses handed to us on a plate. Nah let's go for some of that low hanging political fruit...let's invade Iraq, Afghanistan, Panama and Grenada.
We even got our asses handed to us on a plate by the Vietnamese for christ's sake.
