It wasn’t anti-Muslim sentiment that led to Afghanistan. It was then harboring a mass murderer of Americans.

Almost any nation on the planet hands him over. Otherwise, we light them up, justifiably.

And yeah, he attacked Iraq, arguably the least religion-based nation in the Arab world.

And yeah, we hit pockets of OBL like religious zealots but they perverted religion beyond any scope of reasonableness.

W went out of his way to not cast a wide net on Islam, because thousands of Americans were ready to kill any ‘raghead’ they could find. Yes, some happened, zero was never feasible.

The "yeah, he attacked Iraq" was kind of a big, terrible, thing. -- nm - Andie Sep 11, 06:28 6
- He attacked Saddam, who in his mind was an evil man who wanted to kill dad. 9/11 wasn’t why; Islam wasn’t why. - Will Hunting Sep 11, 06:38 4
  - And W used 9/11 and anti-Muslim fervor // rampant nationalism post-9/11 to make Iraq happen. -- nm - ty97 Sep 11, 06:42 3
    - And they made every case possible to try and link Iraq and 9/11. They didn't go after the country that paid for it all and where the men came from. - Krusty Sep 11, 06:49 2
      - I won't suggest for a moment it wasn't cynical. But SA is precisely the reason he didn't sow anti Muslim sentiment in the run-up. -- nm - Reagen Sep 11, 06:52 1
        
        They and others were making the case against Islam pretty soon afterwards but tried to walk a fine line at times. -- nm - Krusty Sep 11, 07:02
- But like they're only Muslim not like Muslim Muslim and we only killed like a million of them. -- (edited) - ty97 Sep 11, 06:31
