    1) WTC crashed by two planes.
    2) Launches War on terror.
    3) Fires lots of robots at Baghdad and Iraq, a country with among other things the best schools in the area. Fucks up Iraq.
    4) Kills Gadhaffi, in Libya, a country which in 2010 had "life expectancy at birth at 74.5 years, an 88.4% adult literacy rate and a gross enrollment ratio of 94.1%,", fucks up Libya.
    5) Support rebels and desperately want al-Assad gone, fucks up Syria. .. and then we of course have the development in Russia where more or less everyone become poor, lots unemployed, lots of stuff was sold out, rising Mafia and Oligarchs and so on and Afghanistan.

    To be fair USA have droned-bombed somewhat in Pakistan too, and all those people in all those countries and more are so fucking glad USA is "fighting terrorism" by bombing the shit out of them. The result is surprisingly good though! Because totally there's no reason at all to be upset at the west and imperial powers and foreign countries and leaders now when they have messed your society up, made it more unsafe, stolen your properties and resources, ruining your economy, drops bombs every now and then and so on.

    Shouldn't the idea with "fighting terrorism" be to like, you know, fight the cause and the existence of terrorism? Not fight by terrorizing? Maybe someone got it wrong there.. Back to Guantanamo - "these guys are bad, they have been terrorizing and torturing innocent people! Without a fair trial and without actually charging and sentencing them to anything!" .. "oh wait, that was OUR guys!"?

    WTF really?
    Sure, terrorism isn't good, but since when have USA really managed to decrease the amount of terror?
    It's totally understandable the rag-heads are angry, wouldn't you be too? If Iran was bombing the shit out of New York and ousting and worse Obama? If many become unemployed and poor? If sometimes people who even wasn't bad was bombed into pieces?

    US foreign security politics is like slapping a giant flaccid cock in the face of anyone not willing to lick their ass-hole.
    It's not necessarily the best (Our Swedish foreign-ministers and traitor-scumbags in government aren't much better, they treat Israel and the west and ourselves the same while excusing and supporting Hamas and the mass-immigration of third-world immigrants, invaders and colonizers to the country and the genocide and treachery of and against their own people. They also control the supposedly free and objective public media and other media with permissions and economical support, rule the schools, handles close to half the GDP of Sweden, make the laws, silence and threaten the people, bully and lie, ... employ enforced pseudo-science and moral values (like suggestions that Women shouldn't have to pay of their student loans for IT education and if it happens that hey - they didn't liked IT at all, then that's ok and they will get another period to study something else, or women (or black or Muslim?) people into management boards of industrial companies not because they deserve it but because they are women, black or Muslim, that should be enough! Because they are anti-sexist, anti-feminist and anti-Islamophobic like that! Totally fucked up socialist dictatorshiT hell-hole - but it's no surprise for anyone. Also of course all the gang-rapers, terrorists, child-molesters, ambulance attackers and what not are "Swedes" and "young boys" or whatever. And what kid doesn't want to have 25-30 year old Afghan men in their class just so they can get asylum and permanent residency (easier if you're "a child")? (Also Swedish male:female-ratio among teens have raised to 1.2:1 because 90% of these "refugees" (that's a complete lie too) are men.) So yeah, totally fucked up both of those cases and as a society I would had preferred both old USA (with that I don't mean war on terror but rather the progressive social-liberal anti-white oikophobic ideology which spreads in the US as-well. It's fine to
