Uh, yea.
What planet are you living on?
Iraq is so unstable now, people don't know if they will be kidnapped or blown up when they walk outside. They don't know who will be ruling over them tomorrow, the Iraqi government or ISIS. Getting a stable job, feeding your family, heat & light is all more difficult there than ever.
So in what strange ass way do you think the Iraqi's are better off now?
Your living the American delusion if you honestly believe that.

Love the jumping from one aspect of the argument to a specific one you're apparently discussing.
I made the point that there are terrorist organizations that exist regardless of US involvement. Therefore, global correlation is invalid. Some correlation is valid.
Actually your the one doing the jumping considering I never once claimed that if we stop invading there will be no terrorism at all anywhere in the world.

Oh yes, and I'm sure they're killing their own people for a reason, and Jews for a reason. Having a reason doesn't make said reason any more or less valid.
Yes just like we have our own "reasons" for bombing the crud out of their countries.

No factual basis? Are you high?
This is what Maher said:
"Islam is the motherload of bad ideas. Thats just a fact."
If that's not just intentionally spreading hatred then I have no idea what spreading hatred means to you.

And invading their countries has a direct correlation to the number of terrorists. It just does. There's no point in denying that.
Terrorism was around and hatred specifically towards the US is even worse, and terrorist groups against the US are recruiting a lot more easily.So yeah the correlation completely works.

Interesting.
"Islam is the motherload of bad ideas. Thats just a fact."
Maher said the 2nd sentence. His cohort said the first. Stop intentionally confusing things.
OK so just to get a feel for this board, who here is actually a legit account and who here is a sock, and if you are a sock can you please relay your original identity, like, just out of curiosity's sake and interest in the philosophical implications of being able to conceal one's identity through the masked medium of the electronic internets.
