Come on man, you KNOW I've been vocal AGAINST those things.
But people are people, and when you tell them that their neighbors, co-workers, etc.. follow an ideology that at any second might lead that person to commit terrorism, this fosters irrational hatred.
I felt that we were finally beginning to see some of these Drone attacks, memos and death become mainstream news (as well as Gitmo), and then those idiots just took it off the page. What they accomplished, essentially, was the opposite of what they intended.
You saw how those people up in Bostom/Mass were so willing to let their rights be trampled on, and then cheered afterwards. What do you think they feel at that moment towards other countries? Hell, a good portion of them would have probably voted or supported invading Mecca.
So now we enter this loop-a-loop. Same with 9/11. 9/11 was a blowback for American Imperialism that essentially gave the green light for more non-covert Imperialism and wars.
And I respect the fight, don't get me twisted. I respect that dude in Afghanistan that is out there fighting for his land. Hell, I'd probably be that dude if I was born there. That being said, it's an entirely different issue when someone who's not from a country being invaded, who grew up here or has lived here, decides to kill an 8 year old watching a marathon. I can see the difference in that. Just like I can see the difference between droning first responders and a precise military action.
