it helped provide an excuse, sure, but it had no causal relationship. people bent over backwards trying to make a connection between bin laden and hussein the whole time it was ramping up and even then, even the people on board the revenge train didn't buy that.

The American public didn't give a poo poo about whatever fig leaf the politicians offered as an excuse. We just wanted to kill brown people. And we did!

That culture can be enlisted in the common struggle against the collectivist and Confucian civilization centered in China.

Flesh Forge posted:people still think the US invasion of Iraq had something to do with Al Qaeda and 9/11, to this day lol I mean, it did. The leaders of the US cynically used Al Qaeda and 9/11 to dupe tens of millions into supporting their naked war of aggression through what is still the largest disinformation campaign in my lifetime, and possibly history. They suffered no consequences. Pener Kropoopkin posted:just ten years ago half of the chattering class was convinced we were engaged in a civilizational war on Islam, and now where are they? Judging by op-eds on Afghanistan they are currently calling for continuing the war on Islam.
