That backlash is real.Yes, we need another 9/11. Since most of the hijackers came from Saudi Arabia and the leader was from Egypt. The U.S. so called allies in the region. Most of the planning took place in Germany. The planning done by Bin Laden, who was once funded and an ally of U.S. The same Bin Laden who ranted about our bases in Saudi Arabia, holy ground, because well we massed troops there in first Gulf War and never left. Sound familiar.
Attacking and occupying countries preemptively really, really works. We had massive intelligence failing for 911 such as hijackers taking flying lessons and not wanting to learn to land. Memo saying "Bin Laden planning to attack U.S.". So again this "Lets invade because that will prevent an attack on our soil", is bullshit.
