Entry: The Afghanistan Fallacy Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/the_afghanistan_fallacy#28462 Post contents: Thousands of Mexicans cross the US border illegaly every day. Even school aged kids are able to get guns in this country and shoot up their schools. If there really was an organization that wanted to terrorize this country they'd have no problem doing it. Imagine terrorists going into 5 shopping malls around the country and shooting everyone in sight. It would probably sow panic and wreck the economy and it takes nothing more then getting a couple terrorists into this country and enough money to buy handguns. This doesn't happen becasue there's nobody out there to get us. There's no shortage of people willing to die to expel their occupiers in Palestine, Iraq and Afghanistan but nobody who'll do it in the US or Europe. They simply want us out of their countries. 9/11 was a freak event. Are there even 19 other Muslims in the world out of a billion who would do the same thing? If only the FBI had got these guys or they chickened out at the last minute the average American wouldn't know who Osama Bin Laden is and the Taliban's treatment of women would be nothing more then a pet cause for college radicals. As 9/11 fades from memory I assume we'll eventually get bored and pull out of Iraq and Afghanistan. We'll stop arguing over whose got big enough balls to nuke Iran and we'll get back to spending all our time talking about what we did in the 90s, racial conflict. Sent at: 2008 12 02
