1. No, we didn't listen to the world leaders. We told them to get on board or else. That isn't listening, that is telling.
2. Actually, we have been to war with England twice. How many times have we been to war with France? We did pull their asses out of the fire in WWII, but they did it for us in the War for Independence. They also warned us not to g ...[text shortened]... d be terrorist would use such language.
5. Information sharing is definitely the problem.
Answer me this: Why does the whole world go into uproar when America goes to defend itself? Have you all forgotten about September 11th and what those scum did to us? If I remember correctly, the World Trade Center and Pentagon were on American soil. I also believe that the people on those planes were mostly civilians. Are you saying that America, being the richest and most powerful nation in the world, is just supposed to sit back and let the world blow it to pieces? I'm not justifying the use of some tactics or ideals, but come on people. Sometimes intelligence is wrong and we make mistakes. The world only seems to realize this when the US makes a mistake or bad move. If we're all into mistakes and hating, why don't we all boycott Germany and hate them forever? I mean, they produced Hitler, one of the biggest mass murderers of all time, but we have just forgotten about that haven't we? Or maybe we should hate Russia, because they produced Stalin, who killed over 40 million people who resisted him or his ideals. No country is exempt from mistakes of some kind! Don't point the finger at America all the time. If you're interested in blaming, blame all the other mass murders and their countries.😉

Originally posted by sasquatch672I noticed this Stang person simply likes to start a raucous here and there. What battle is there to fight? It's really not fair to fight those who are virtually unarmed.😵It just irritates me when people make baseless and ignorant claims.
Right on dude. I can't wait until you and Stang hook up. I've hooked up with him many times, and I'm gathering strength for my next Stang-pounding. Take over for me for a while.

America just killed one and a half dozen people on the Pakistan border. America's intelligence was wrong. Stupid American Killers !!!
Your actions will only bring more terrorism.
