Almost 20 years ago and nothing has changed and everything this man said has been proven true over and over again.

“We bomb them endlessly and then wonder why they are mad at us.”

It’s funny, I’ve had a few friends and family members who are legitimately concerned now that we could be in danger. That “what if we get bombed?”

And all I can think is that entire generations in the Middle East have grown up with this fear as a permanent part of their lives. They never knew a time, in a dozen countries, in which they didn’t have to wonder “what if we get bombed?”

What do you think that does to a culture? What do you think that does to their view of the west and Israel? After 50 years how could you *not* think that the US deserved to be destroyed? What else do they even know?

None of this is confusing. These are the stupidly obvious and self evident results of the bullshit our govts have been engaged in.
