Bin Laden said the attack was to get America out of the Holy Land. We had a few bases in Saudi at the time and we supported Israel too much. Because of the 9/11 attacks, well as a consequence of them, the U.S. invaded Iraq and Afganistan and maybe Iran is next. But Bin Laden said he wanted to make us bleed financially. A trillon dollars later, you could say it almost worked. Butas a New Yorker I suppose that makes me disagree with the spirt of this cartoon. I'm silly sentimental guy like that, I suppose.

We shouldn't have any military bases outside of the US unless the people of that country want us there so bad they're willing to pay for us to be there.

Saudi wanted us there after Saddam invaded Kuwait and we were enforcing the UN no fly zones over Iraq, remember?

We shouldn't have stopped Iraq from defending their oil fields from the Kuwaitis who where diagonally drilling to get at them.

lol. we told saddam to go ahead and attack. we just wanted an excuse to kill half of his 4 million man army.

"We" didn't stop them. The United Nations did.

they also paid for a good chunk of bush war I.
