> [@Atticus Finch](#): > > “They” hurt us back? I can’t see any other “they” or any other hurtful event that you could be referring to, so I assume you’re talking about the Iraqis causing 9/11. If so, you’re talking out of your arse. If not, you can’t write a post to save your life. What kind of idiot are you? No I am talking about the systematic destabilization of the middle east that we performed in order to fight the Soviets. I am talking about selling weapons to everyone over there, all sides, both overtly and covertly. I am talking about the assassinations, the training of terrorists, and the expectation that America should control the world’s oil supply. I’m the kind of idiot that knows that America isn’t an innocent victim. I’m the kind of idiot that knows about Iran Contra, and knows that George W Bush thought Saddam had WMDs because he had the receipt from the sale that his Daddy brokered. I am the kind of idiot that knows that the Bush family and their oil buddies in Texas and Saudi Arabia have been engineering Middle East foreign policy both with American governmental authority, and outside of it for the entire time I’ve been alive.
