[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 442423, member: 2189"] That's a good point worthy of consideration in looking at Japan alone but you just don't get as warm and fuzzy a feeling when you look at the events of Europe itself at the time. We may not have the pure smoking gun of guilt but the historical circumstancal evidence is troubling to say the least. Some believe 9/11 was a gov't created pretext so we could invade Iraq and I think to come to that you have to do some extreme twisting to get there. However, looking at history and the circumstances of unintented consequences maybe similar to Roosevelt's policy in the Far East with Japan, 9/11 in respect to a historical timeline had it's start with WW1 and broken British promises to Arab peoples that led to the creation of the muslim brotherhood in the late 1920's and then Anglo political treachery in the region that ultimately led to our own with Kermit Roosevelt, the CIA and the Eisenhower adminstration going forward. From there we backed Saddam Hussein as well as the Taliban over the Soviet friendly Northern Alliance Warlords and in both cases they came back to haunt us. Our hubris and arrogance towards this region, not some thought out nefarious plan in reality was our undoing and we've yet to learn it would appear. JMO BTW: Seen Norman Solomon's "War Made Easy" or the feature film he's done on the subject? Film is pretty good IMO. [media=youtube]R9DjSg6l9Vs[/media] [/QUOTE]
