But, but...if we get out, how will we throw a monkey wrench in CPEC (China/Pakistan Economic Corridor) or China’s OBOR (One Belt One Road) project?
China, Iran negotiating with the Taliban. Gotta stop that..
Could have been prevented by better border control/vetting.
It’s not pacifist. I am far from a pacifist.
But I am a realist. We cannot police every single Muslim country on the planet and fight their religious/tribal battles for them. It’s simply not feasible.
Americans first, not Muslims first.
We don't get to rewrite history.
9/11...then what?
Well 9/11 was plotted in Hamburg, Germany and a few other European cities. I guess we should bomb Hamburg or take it over and run the cities police forces there.
So...Nada.
You have nada that’s correct.
We could have gone into Afghanistan before 9/11 and taken on the Taliban, although the planning was going on elsewhere ... but to use your logic we didn’t and so ... 9/11 happed
Same as you claimed about better border control that we didn’t have before 9/11.
Not logical
"Well, if..." is not logical.
No one said “well if”.
You seem to be saying that having stricter border controls won’t help. I disagree. Nothing will be 100% but better entry and visa controls will do the most towards preventing another 9/11 type of event (which seems to be your main point).
None of the 9/11 attackers were from Afghanistan.
Woulda, coulda, shoulda is irrelevant...anything other than “is” and “was” is wishful thinking.
Thinking we can change Muslim culture, especially in remote places like Afghanistan, is wishful thinking ... at a very high price. Lots of our people killed or maimed for life and NO CHANGE for the effort.
I agree.
Molon Labe, Raghead!
I would support that in a heartbeat, if No muslim, from any foreign country, directly or indirectly, for any reason whatsoever, is ever allowed into the United States, ever again.
No exceptions.
In addition, that no "faith" under guise of "religion" is ever permitted to be superior to, or even equal to secular Law.
Take it, or effing leave it!
So dream on...
