Yes, I consider the willing servants of the war machine as bad as the war machine itself. Why war machine? Because if we hadn't butted our noses into the f***ing Middle East where they don't belong, 9/11 would likely have not happened.

Well, we have a lot of people on welfare and they haven't offed themselves yet so why hold out any hope?
Another good point. However, like say a wool sweater, if you unravel one part, you might end up unraveling the whole sweater. Point is, all you have is that if we didn't intervene in the ME, this might not have happened. However, nobody can say what would have happened had we not. You seem to think there is a "free lunch". IOW, you think that if you don't do this, that will not happen. Assuming it is true for a minute, do you know what the consequences of not intervening will be? And how can we be certain of this? Maybe, just maybe, by not intervening we are getting the lessor of two evils. OTOH, we might be getting the greater of two evils. It is NOT that simple
