Fahrenheit 9/11

Well technically no one supplied weapons for 9/11. Planes aren't exactly weapons...although they prove effective as such. And remember, Afghanistan isn't the only country we've armed. Billions in aid and weapons to Iraq to fight Iran...a few more billion to Iran to fight Iraq. Look how friendly they turned out to be. We've leveled one of them and have our crosshairs on the other. I think we should look over our reciepts again and try to remember who we've sold weapons to and try hard not to piss them off. This, of course, means we'll have to get Rumsfeld out of his office if we ever want to even appear like we're not waving our middle fingers at the world. We just need to remember to stop giving people weapons. Nobody who's not an american gets our weapons. They all end up hating us.

Don't forget that we trained bin Laden to fight the Soviets. We also trained Noriega. And also pumped money into some of the Taliban folks. Most of our top "evil enemies" in the last few decades have been funded by and/or trained by the US for some other political cause, and we're suffering a little something that the CI(sic)A calls blowback. Next stop is probably the Kurds or Iraqi security forces.
