here is what I should have said yesterday:

the world trade center bombing in 1993

the embassy bombings

the USS Cole

911

what were we supposed to do? how long were supposed to let this crap continue? Who many Americans were we supposed to let die before we did something about it? What would you have done about Bin Laden and Al Qaeda? just let them get away with it? You've never answered that.

As for the the families and friends of those that died in the war in Afghanistan, perhaps they ought to be asking why the regimes there were harboring terrorists. The people in charge of Afghanistan were not good people. But maybe we should have tried harder to find a way to do what needed to be down with causing so many civilian deaths.

I could with ease do one of my parody misquotes replacing every terrorist event you listed with an outrage against Arabs and Muslims and swapping America and Afghanistan around.

It would be very cold comfort indeed to the families of the people who died in 9/11 to say to them, "Maybe you shouldn't have voted for that sort of leader".

Especially as some of those countries didn't have leaders or votes at the time.
