And actually, these millions of Americans were behind the Afghan war, because it was demonstrably provable that this is where Al Qaeda bases were, that war in Afghanistan was a just operation.

We went into Afghanistan to remove the Taliban from power. Where are the terrorists now? Still in Afghanistan and Pakistan and Saudi Arabia and Sudan and .......

You didn't see this? I did. When bush* removed economic sanctions on Pakistan, sent Rumsfeld into Pakistan and India to "trade" some military equipment, paid Pakistan a few bucks to let us blow the shit out of their "friends"...the Taliban....sneaked in a little 35 billion dollar contract for the JSF....you didn't see this as a sham?

ALL "war" is bad. But even you have found a way to qualify one but not another. After 9/11 the blood-lust that existed in this country would have allowed bush* to nuke California. If bush* had gotten his way, we would have gone into Iraq right after 9/11....then I suppose you'd be here justifying his actions.
