He was right then and he is right now.
Sometimes you just have to leave people alone. Don't pick a fight and expect not to get hit back. We got donkey punched and now we have been utterly defeated in a humiliating way. The world is sneering and laughing at us. It didn't have to be this way.
P.S. America's days as a superpower are over. At best, we will be a second rate power like the Soviet Union, and our people will live like the Soviets. Do you like fried cabbage for every meal?
BTW, did 3000 American dead justify the mass slaughter of innocent civilians in Afghanistan? How about Iraq? How many millions died? How many were tortured?
You are losing...
You are a walking stereotype of why most of the world hates us. And they do hate us. Before 2001, America was popular in most of the world. It was the Western Europeans that bad mouthed us. Now, almost everyone does.
