Since when has the US government declared war on the Muslim world? And what oil are we "stealing?" If we were stealing all the oil in the Middle East gas wouldn't be so damn expensive here! Is it our fault that most of the terrorists seem to be in the Middle East? And then you had guys like Awalki recruiting IN the US? Yeah you and the ACLU can bitch about this all you want. Awlaki was a terrorist, he was a traitor he got what he deserved.

Kind of yeah, we absolutely had to take down the USSR at the end of the Cold War and the easiest means for them to do that was to see them bankrupt themselves in Afghanistan. Guess who the Soviets were up against in Afghanistan? It wasn't American soldiers, but we supported the local resistance cells. Now do we want to guess who those were?
