  1. Bin Ladin was also horrified by the sanctions led by the US on countries like Iraq which led to the needless deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent children as reported by UNICEF. This is an aspect of 911 that hardly EVER gets reported.

  2. The biggest farce perpetuated by think tanks controlling right wing media is this idea of "Big Government".... "Big Government", "Socialism" are nonsense abstract terms meant to frighten people no different than the "boogey man" for children. In reality everyone wants and should strive for EFFECTIVE government. Whether a government is large or small doesn't matter as long as it performs it's duties in an effective and efficient manner leading to the most optimal outcomes for its people.

  3. There was no vagness over the fact that those sanctions where led by the US.

  4. The US actually ranks high compared to many other industrialized countries when it comes to poverty, inequality, and a feeling of "unhappiness". So it is not doing that well. Inequality has risen dramatically over the past few decades and our middle class has shrunk. The rest of your nonsense straw man comments, are just that.... nonsense. It comes from the religious ideology you've brainwashed yourself with not logic, facts, or reason.

  5. No, effective government is effective government. There is no litmus test based on your ideology. It's pretty obvious what "effectiveness" is when you look at indicators like health, poverty, inequality, and even polling data. Google: "Good Government vs. Less Government" However when you sit in an ideological corner. Reality becomes meaningless. Until governance becomes less about random uninformed opinions and more about research & analyzing results we will continue to have problems.

  6. You can take a rock to mean "santa clause" if you choose. That doesn't make it correct. It amazes me how many on YouTube somehow believe a "straw man" is a valid form of discussion. It isn't. Man has long since created a method for determining truth... That method is science. If you have a goal (health, less poverty, etc.) then the scientific method (which includes research, statistical analysis, etc.) is far surer way of getting there than relying on your "opinions" or "belief system".
