UCFKnight85. Trump claims Afghanistan was worst mistake in history of US. U supported it.

Does slamming passenger jets into buildings killing thousands matter? Or just let that go and hope they will stop?

Wouldn't have happened if we hadn't been so involved in the middle east for decades. Nobody bothers someone that minds their own business.
 
Are you talking about Iraq, confused? Afghanistan with Osama was allowed to operate in that country which attacked NY and Washington. Hell yeah that operation needed to be stopped.
Well 19!years ago he was adamant that IRAG had WMDs. That was proven wrong. He also believed going into Afghanistan was what was needed. 19 years later we are still there. Hmmm was it the right thing to do?
 
Hard to say that. We don't get involved in Iraq the first time does Saddam nicely just take over only one country?

We can't be the police to the world though.

Leave Iran alone in the 1950s and none of this would have happened.

Iraq wasnt strong enough to take over that much. But, what people dont realize, is that Kuwait was also slant drilling and essentially stealing Iraq's oil (along with other financial disagreements stemming from the Iraq-Iran war), Iraq didnt invade Kuwait for no reason. Dont take that the wrong wrong, I am not saying we should have just let Iraq continue to march into Kuwait, but we also could have probably handled it a bit differently, and the American public was certainly sold a bill of goods when they were trying to justify the war.

The war that made CNN. It was the beginning of the 24 hour news cycle.

Yep. There was an HBO movie about that years ago, CNN was basically the only network that stayed in Iraq, which lead them to become a major network.
