thats exactly what did happen though. our "empire" shit the money bed but we stuck with it anyways. i dont see how you can say this is all in the name of economic interest when everyone can agree that its not about the money, its about completing the yin-yang, or as we apparently retarded (i speak for just myself... i hope) westerners say: "what goes around, comes around". i'm not going to thump my imaginary gavel on my desk and say that "justice" was done because getting into what real justice is would take years and years of debate... and by extension, server maintenance costs for TFP that we probably just dont have. however, what did anyone think was going to happen? we were going to have a little hash session of "chase the terrorist" for a few years and then give up once the price tag got too high? i dunno man, i don't think it [the war in a-stan] was ever about the money. i'm still undecided about iraq, but thats another tangent. we poked holes in OBL's body with bullets because he squashed a bunch of our people. i know there are still more people than just OBL, and i'm sure they'll get whats coming to them too, but is it so hard to be happy that all of this effort finally yielded a result?
disagreements aside. i'd like to pose a question just to you RB. what would YOU do after 9/11 if you were the U.S. Govt?
