Um, maybe it suggests there's an element in the world that means us harm that existed BEFORE 2003?
Hey, Mach. You realize 9/11 was BEFORE 2003, too, right?
Should you be drinking this early on a school day?

You're probably right Smaug. Maybe 300 times and some of the stuff that posts on here would make sense.
It just gets soooooooo frustrating sometimes.

Sounds like you've already had about 20. We're not even in Iraq anymore, mofugga, and if you think this has a damn thing to do with Iraq, you're a moron. Scratch that, that's already been discerned.

Also, can't remember who said it so eloquently on mt.org, but video isn't the reason for all this sh*t either. It's just the excuse.

No it was planned. No doubt in my mind. These dictators topple (A noted goal of the neo cons) and the rabble rousers take their place. That's what you wanted right? Reb? You wanted democracy to spread throughout the M.E. Hey congrats!

You're correct there Rebel. The murder of Stevens was a well planned and well funded assassination, most likely by AQ. It had nothing to do with the protest of that stupid "movie" other than it happened at the same time.

Whoa, wait, what? I don't remember Bush helping topple Qaddafi or Mubarak. I don't even think he was in office. ...but I guess I could be wrong. Let me check.

One more thing, no one has been toppled in Yemen, Tunisia, Morocco, and many other Muslim countries that are seeing this sh*t either. What's your hypothesis now, Einstein?

You know Reb. I'm going to give you quarter on some of this. I believe with all my heart that the events of the Iraq war set the seeds of discontent and you can make the argument that they were already sewn. Reasonable people can come up on both sides of that equation. Neocons looked at what a free Iraq could do for the M.E. I would bet some people still believe this. The problem as I see it is people don't believe we are honest brokers and why should they? We have demosnstrated time and time again our self interest prevail over honest dealings. The more I think about it Internet savvy youth spread more oxygen to the flame than the Iraq war set. It's just one fcked up place where the leaders are too easily corrupted and then we find corrupt leaders easier to deal with.
Que Sera Sera.
