The 9/11/01 attacks on America were committed by Saudi Arabians (17) and
Egyptians (2).

Today we are at war in two different countries.

Why is that?

If I was president, I would go to war just to annoy people that ask
questions like that.

I would probably fail so what would be the point?

I am most likely too intellectually dumb to even understand why the USA is
at war with Afghanistan and Iraq.

You might want to go check your stats on that. Congress has not
declared war on anyone (ergo we are not at war - the beliefs of
the self-proclaimed "war-time president" not withstanding).

(for the record, the last time the US was officially at war was
1951, which was when WW2 actually legally ended with the signing
of the final peace treaty with Japan).

Bubba Clinton didn't use it to kill innocent Americans at Waco and Ruby
Ridge, nor to bomb aspirin factories in Afghanistan. Bushtard didn't use
it to take out the guy who said mean things about his daddy. Ronnie Raygun
didn't use it to sell arms to Contras or send the proceeds to Iran. Until
the majority of Americans learn to read and pick up a copy of the US
Constitution; it will continue to be a dead and irrelevant document to
today's group of dishonest politicians. This country will continue to
deteriorate until the Libertarian Party gains momentum beyond the grass
roots level.

That depends on whether you use the dictionary definition or the
Constitutional definition of "war"

From what I read on the algore internet our voluntary war in Afghanistan is
actually going okay. It ranks like a four on a scale of five. But our "war
on non-existent weapons of mass destruction" in Iraq is a big failure in
that our 138,000 valiant troops are getting roundly defeated by a couple
thousand irregulars with discarded shells. And our President lies worse
than Nixon ever thought of doing. The Islaamics have not disgraced us as
much as we have disgraced ourselves.

138,000 of our best young men and women killing and being killed 7,000 miles
away is not a war?
