Yes you're right why?
Have I ever denied that?
I don't think so.
It was in the middle of the coldwar. Don't think for a second that the Soviets weren't playing their games in Eastern Europe and later in Africa. Not to mention supporting various dictators around the world.

The Jihadists hold these and other atrocities in mind when fighting, unlike the American soldiers who hold $ in mind.

Is a mighty huge stretch from your premise that started this most recent chain reaction, which was this:

Is it a habit with you to draw obvious fallacies like the first out of completely unrelated facts, like the second?
I'm noticing a pattern.
Then you extrapolate that rubbish into this:
The Jihadists hold these and other atrocities in mind when fighting, unlike the American soldiers who hold $ in mind.
Which is patently ridiculous, on the face of it.
What you appear to be saying here is that the jihadists are killing off their own people, and any other innocents they happen to fancy killing that day, because they have some twisted belief in an American worldwide atrocity.
Do you see how ridiculous that sounds? I bet you don't.
It seems to me that if the jihadists really believed that BS, they'd be pretty gung ho to go after the American enforcement arm, i.e. the American military, and a little LESS hell bent on killing their own folks, and other defenseless innocents.
I'm just not seeing the logic there.
Then you go on to make a statement about how the brave jihadists are just fighting because someone is killing them (didn't start out that way, bub, started out quite the other way), and the American soldiers are just fighting for money, and have no other reason.
What a crock of BS. Do you know any American soldiers? If you do, or if you ever meet one, ask them what they're doing with all that huge pile of money they're making out of this war. I'm willing to bet they laugh at you so hard they might bust a blood vessel.
I bet you don't get to ride on their yacht.
If you knew how much American soldiers make, you'd crawl back into your cave and try real hard to think up something else to talk about.
Because that argument just doesn't fly.

Oh, really? Time to crack the books, rocket scientist. I think the Soviets had a bit of a hand in the Cold War, too. You know, all the proxy wars they liked to fight in Africa that everyone has seem to have forgotten.
Yeah, I joined the AF to become rich. Another fail on your part once again. No one joins the US Military to get rich, that's for freakin' sure.

Or do they think Afghans were the ones who bombed them? What do you think the American soldiers think about? If it wasn't money then their heads would be straight therefore allowing them to do some thinking, and then allowing them to come to the conclusion that none of the attackers were Afghans.
Which day? Are you talking about the Iraq civil war? The American unjustified war directly effected the civil war, bad management, I don't know but when you invade a country for the heck of it and risk thousands of lives, then the least you can do is to make sure more lives are not ruined through resistance.
Do you see how ridiculous that sounds? I bet you don't.
You can make anything sound rediculous, you sound shocked..

They have the right to go against the American military and government, we have already established that.
I'm just not seeing the logic there.
That is why they invented the veil. If you don't want to be seen then wear a veil, but if you don't want to see then wear blinds.
Then you go on to make a statement about how the brave jihadists are just fighting because someone is killing them (didn't start out that way, bub, started out quite the other way), and the American soldiers are just fighting for money, and have no other reason.
It didn't start that way? People don't forget as fast as America does, when you ruin millions of lives, ofcurse it is easy for the perpetrators to forget, but not for the victims. People who have been effected by your foreign policy based on self interest counts to millions, and they all want to fight America, not because they are getting paid, or because they are insane Islamic monster who just want to take over the world, but because they are humans. Just like you and me.
Why won't they forget and forgive? Because American policies hasn't changed at all. I'm hoping Obama would bring change, but only time will tell.
Big pile of money? You don't need to give an individual with poor income a million dollar to kill Many young students looking for money to go to college etc etc.
I bet you don't get to ride on their yacht.
