Reply #69: The attack on Afghanistan was disproportional to 9/11

[IndianaGreen]

We have butchered more innocent civilians in Afghanistan alone, than were killed on 9/11. Bush's gulag began in Afghanistan, with the mass killings and torture chambers. It was in Afghanistan where our Air Force made it a habit of bombing Al-Jazeera and International Red Cross facilities.

The response to 9/11 that I advocated in DU at the time was to borrow a page from Israel's response to the Olympic Munich Massacre and send teams to hunt down and kill those responsible for 9/11. It would have taken time, it would have been done quietly, but tens of thousands of deaths would have been prevented.

As it is, nothing has changed for women in Afghanistan. They still wear the burqa. They are still prevented from achieving full equality, as they once enjoyed when the Marxists were running Afghanistan.

You see what happens when you let testosterone run your foreign policy? Many innocents die, and you still don't have Osama behind bars.
