      There are plenty of moderate people in the US, but we waged a war for twenty fucking years after 9/11.

      All of human history up until this day points towards a great ramping of war efforts to slaughter everyone they can get their hands on

        The Iraq war was plainly illegitimate, based on a tissue of lies. 9/11 was not a legitimate casus belli for invading Iraq, and the WMD thing was simply a hoax.

        I am not so convinced about the Afghan war. 9/11 was a mass murder perpetrated by Al-Qaeda on American soil, and the Taliban were hosting and working with Al-Qaeda. However, the “nation building” efforts were never going to work.
