To "confused?"
I don't recall any information surfacing concerning pre-made plans to invade afghanistan. Prior to 9/11. There were plans to invade Iraq from the beginning. I never denied that and I am well aware that WMD was not the driving force behind invasion with respect to Iraq. I don't believe that it was a lie when the US said it was invading Afghanistan in response to al-Qaeda's attack on the United States. I believe the action against afghanistan was wrong but it is not out of ignorance that I believe that the US invaded Afghanistan because of the 9/11 attacks. I believe this because it is the most rational explanation of invading afghanistan. Afghanistan isn't exactly a valuable resource to us. Iraq is. No one has demonstrated any evidence that Bush had his heart set on invading Afghanistan before 9/11 in fact even after 9/11 his advisors were saying Afghanistan was worthless and were trying to direct him to Iraq. I never denied the intervention in Iraq was not due to WMD or 9/11. It is obvious that the invasion was done to appease other interests. Afghanistan on the other hand has not demonstrated itself to be because of anything else. So confused if you have evidence to the contrary I encourage you to produce it otherwise stop charging people with being racist because they believe something to be logical. Just because I don't agree with your interpretation of every event in international politics does not mean that I have an internalized racism toward myself and my people. Cut it out with this your either with me or against me crap. Such an assertion is absurd. Please don't bring the rationale for Iraq into this. I agree that those were lies. I disagree very specifically on the issue of Afghanistan. Stick to the issue of contention. |
