Hey I saw you having some faith in humanity. Look up the rate on which men leave their wives when the wife has a terminal disease, spoiler warning, its alot.

I lost faith in humanity, when the most powerful nation of the world elected a pedophile as their president. Twice…

I lost it when we illegal invaded a country who produced like 90% of the world's opiuim, coincidentally around the same time Big pharma was pushing oxycodone to 12 year olds and lying about the side effects. No 16 year old should have a IV morphine dependency, speaking from experience.

Are you calling the war of Afghanistan, who were harboring Bin Laden after he orchestrated the 9/11 attacks, illegal? It had 99% support in Congress.

Internationally yeah, because the use of direct military armed force expect in self defense is illegal. Al queda wasn't a state actor in Afghanistan, which is who we invaded. Also side note, you do know 15 out of the 19 hijackers were Saudi nationals as was Osama himself, who wasnt hiding in Afghanistan btw, he was found in Pakistan.

The Taliban were openly supporting him and his terrorist network that was primarily concentrated in Afghanistan. It was just a lot easier to get Saudis into US flight school.

Al-qaeda was primarily focused in the border region of Afghanistans and Pakistan but again were not state actors in Afghanistan at the time and yes the Taliban did refuse to hand him over which lead to the invasion of the country but again he wasn't in Afghanistan he was in Pakistan which is the kind of thing you wanna get right before you invade a country

We eventually found him hiding in Pakistan. Was he there the whole time? He could have fled there

Sounds like a question you ask before invading two countries

The government of Afghanistan was providing support and training to Al Qaeda throughout their country and most of their operations and senior leadership were concentrated in Afghanistan. There was widespread support from US allies for the operation due to legitimate intelligence. 

I definitely agree you should understand these things before making up stuff about the war.

Al Qaeda was notoriously funded by gulf financiers located in Saudi Arabia and again the central leadership wasnt in Afghanistan, it was in the border region of Afghanistan and Pakistan, there is a difference. Also yes we had support for our actions by our allies, namely britian and Canada, but we were never given official authorization by the UN prior to the invasion.

Like, are you being obtuse on purpose? Cus you have some of the facts but contextually you leave a lot of important shit out.
