Not to detract from any of the suffering of people from 9/11

But shame the Beeb doesn't report on the indiscriminate killings of the US during drone strikes and bombings in the guise of peace

Innocent people are innocent, no matter their nationality or race

Indeed, sadly that's every war there's ever been since time began.

You even get countries with nutty dictators murdering their own just because they a different tribe of religion its not just the USA or UK , their a convenient target .

I wonder what the contributors of this thread would have done in the aftermath of 9/11 if they were Bush or Blair ???

Sludge would have emailed Cardiff City to complain

Re: 911 , Inside The Presidents War Room , BBC 1 Now

we know that al qaeda had training camps in Afghanistan, that's no secret, the Shorbak area ( on the Pakistan border ) had a massive training camp, the size of a Village with different compounds teaching different activities

should the " Civilised World " have ignored them and just prayed that your own country was not subject to a terror attack. ?? ? ? then when your country was attacked and innocent lives lost we could have held a inquest into how " Mr Terrorist " travelled to Pakistan, then onwards to Afghanistan and attended a terror school for 3 months

we all know we had to do something about the issue back then

I'm just interested in the point Graham has made and want to understand it. Nothing petty. Although most of his posts are wind ups!

He seems to be saying the USA had a right to invade Afghanistan after 9/11. I disagree, but that is an old argument. But he is saying the point of the invasion in 2001 was to remove (get) the Taliban? I thought it was to remove the Taliban from government in order to destroy Al Qaeda? They partly succeeded - although the biggest successes against Al Qaeda were in Pakistan! But after 20 years, the Taliban are back (they never went away), a corrupt puppet regime has collapsed, and 240,000 people are dead as a direct result of the war and occupation. I don't believe the USA and its allies had the legal or moral right to invade, and if they 'got' the Taliban they didn't stay got for long!

Those marches are pointless in my opinion it's a shame the same people don't use their energy to march to raise awareness in helping ex servicemen.
As for what your saying above i've witnessed and experienced enough to not get into debate on that subject.
The Sudge emailing the club was just a joke 🙄

Just my opinion but i believe the US and co will be back there within a couple of years. It's just a waiting game now
