wow...
I used to try and have conversations with him at one time. And at times he does sound very rational. Then he goes right off the deep end where everything is all tied together and part of a vast conspiracy.
If you want to talk conspiracy, you can always go to CT land, where they go on about this over and over again all day long. Many of us in the more serious areas of the forum (like Military and History) wish he would just go away and stop trying to inject his nonsense theories into more serious topics.
Why did Rome fall?
Why, because of the Jews of course! And the New World Order and Muslims wanting the Hagia Sophia to start their own World Order.
Trust me, as somebody who has seen the manipulation of the CTers in here for years, there is nothing interesting in it. Other then their desire to inflict their own damaged mindset into as many others, like a virus. And once you fall into the CT Black Hole, you rarely come out of it again.
WOW. you just became 1000% more interesting, because i like to he opposing viewpoints. (also a brain games fan)so can you link me to some of the evidence that 9/11 was a hoax?
Because its' used to control a lot of people though the use of fear and intimidation. If you don't fight it, it will proliferate. The stupid stats you posted only reflect what is happening, the fight is about preventing worse from happening. Without fighting terrorism, those numbers would be far worse. That's what the fight is about. Your attempt to minimize that effect is not well thought out.
(bolded) I'm not so sure about that. Dropping bombs tends to create more terrorists. Moreover, the war on terror has killed more Americans by far than terrorism ever did.
Plrase share... What "state terrorism " are you speaking of?
Libyan support of terrorists? Maybe Iranian support of Hezbollah? Perhaps Hamas? Prior Afghanistan support of Al Qaeda?
No. Killing terrorists stops terrorists. The idea that it creates them is one of the stupidest ideas put forth in a LONG time (focusing on the ME). People just don't understand Persian/Arab thinking. These are people who respect strength. If you show weakness, they see opportunity. If you show strength, they see someone to stay away from. Our failure to follow through on the post Desert Storm cease fire and the first attack on the WTC made us look weak. It wasn't stopping Iraq that gave the terrorists reason to attack us, it was the fact that we showed ourselves to be weak in the face of an enemy attacking us. Some people think that the chain of logic for terrorists goes something like this: "You bombed us and that made us angry, so we're going to attack you.", when it fact it's more along the lines of: "You bombed us and that made us angry, but you didn't do anything after that and that means you're weak, so we're going to attack you." The response we should be pursuing is: "You bombed us and then killed our leaders, destroyed our finances and wiped out our internal infrastructure. You are stronger than we are, so we will choose to cooperate with you, instead of fighting a fight we cannot win." This takes follow through, effort and a willingness to do what is needed.
It didn't take us long to get rid of Saddam Hussain. Seems to me that should have proven strength. We've taken out ISIS leaders numerous times. We've killed a lot of the radicals already. What will it take to "show strength?" Do we have to kill them all? That's not possible when they keep recruiting more all the time.
Logically, it should be easier to recruit people whose family members have been killed and whose homes have been lost due to the war on terror.
Or US support for all the right wing death squad government terrorists ? US support for despotic regimes past and present ?
The countries of the West are , imo , in no position to decry the acts of violence of others and , as I said earlier , it takes a huge amount of selective viewing to hold the views people like you hold.
The towers were struck by aircraft, but they were not AA11 and UA175. The Pentagon was likely struck by some sort of aircraft, but it was not AA77. The towers did come down, and people were thereby killed, but they did not come down from burning office fires as the NIST report claims. UA93 did not crash in Shanksville.
Your turn.
Are those goalposts getting heavy?

Exactly!
The War on Terror, or rather the crimes committed under the banner of it , is the biggest recruitment officer for groups planning terror attacks against Western targets.
People who don't understand this situation must be pretty stupid imo
I'm not sure that intelligence or lack of it is what's in play. What's in play is how easily one can be brainwashed. My bet is that just as certain individuals can be hypnotized and others cannot be, some individuals are more easily indoctrinated than others, more easily deceived than others.

You are 35,079 times more likely to die from heart disease than from a terrorist attack
Moreover, the war on terror has killed more Americans by far than terrorism ever did.
No, but killing innocents by drone is. Taking the country to war under fraud is not only treason, but also terrorism. Killing US citizens without due process is both terrorism and treason.
KNOWDRONES This explains how the US had committed terrorism by way of its drone policy.

But during Vietnam and Korean war, USA engaged in deliberate bombing of civilians -- about 2 million Korean and Vietnamese civilians were killed by USA.
USA spent $2.4 trillion on wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. That could have been used to save millions lives.
Please share... What "crimes" exactly?
USA spent $2.4 trillion on wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. That could have been used to save millions lives.
Yes, that's true, and I assume your number is correct. With modern drones involved in the GWOT the numbers are likely much lower.

The US lead invasion and subsequent occupation of Iraq in 2003 was a nailed on illegal war of aggression.
To attack a country with the intention of regime change is illegal under international law.
Instead of taking and/or destroying millions of lives
