And yet, when we finally got bin laden, it wasn't in Afghanistan. He moved, easily, with Saudi money. Thousands of Americans were killed with weapons paid for by Saudi money, held by troops recruited and trained with Saudi money. Seems like if we had cut off the Saudi money this thing would have been over a hell of a lot faster.
Al Qaeda was all over the place. Wasn't a single Afghani on any of those planes. There were, however, 15 Saudis (out of 19 hijackers). The attack was planned by a Saudi. The organization was run by a Saudi, and funded by Saudis.
I actually hate how the trolley problem is misinterpreted. It's not a question of "will you kill one person or kill 5?". If you pull the lever, you are murdering somebody. If you do nothing, you killed no one, whoever put them on the tracks killed them. Whether it's morally acceptable to murder one person in order to save 5 is an interesting thought experiment but that's all it is.
Maybe a system that regularly gives us "evil vs lesser evil but still evil" as our only options isn't worth saving
They were both unnecessary wastes of life and resources that were started for all the wrong reasons, so kind of.

Being oppressed isn’t a contest.
What a stupid thing to say. It doesn't need to be a contest. Some groups are targeted more, that's just statement of fact. I doubt the ones that are targeted less feel like they've won anything.
if you think Mexicans have been oppressed more by the US than the natives living further north, you should probably study your history better
I'm not talking about history. I'm talking about the modern day. If you believe the trail of tears was within the last hundred years, you should probably study your history better.
Hate it. If 1984 was meant to have a sequel George Orwell would have written one.
