I thought the Taliban were (was) evil (whatever that really means) but
I didn't think the US had any right to do anything about it. A lot of
the population in A. supported the Taliban and their enforced religious
fundamentalism. But very few of them, I suspect, welcomed the
'liberators'?
Most of the world thinks Bush is evil. Does that give some other
country a right to 'liberate' us? Many Americans think Bush is evil.
But even they wouldn't welcome any outside 'liberators'?
I didn't see the movie you're discussing here, but couldn't it just have
been put together precisely to scare people? Imagine what a fine film
the other side could put together cutting and pasting scenes of Bush and
Cheney and Ashcroft and Rumsfeld and Gingrich and Robertson and even
crazier Christian fundies spewing their hatred of everything unAmerican
to huge audiences over many years. To their uneducated population, they
could sell this as representative of America. And if they were
militarily powerful enough to invade the U.S., they could use it to
rally their population behind their war.

And... there wasn't really much fallout over that [bombing the hell out of Afghanistan]. Maybe they deserved it. You see, what i want [need] is [almost] worldwide condemnation of the radical islamists like we got with the Taliban. The Taliban were evil mofos. A lot of people agreed on that. Apparently, for some strange reason, a lot of people DON'T agree that the islamists are. I don't understand that.
