Why hasn't anyone accused the U.S. of harboring terrorists? We let the 9/11 hijackers in the country, let some of them train to fly aircraft, ...
For the same reasons that we don't blame a scantily clad woman for her rape.
We (as a country) give everyone - even criminals - the benefit of the doubt. We let death-cult nut animals into our country because not everyone that practices Islam does so in a manner that meets the description/definition of "death-cult". They worship as normal human beings that acknowledge that they feel humbled and are in awe at a Universe that seemingly has no bounds in terms of the miracles and revelations that it holds.
Sadly, animals like Muhammad Atta look, sound, and act like any other Egyptian practitioner of Islam.
He was also studious (he had an engineering degree), he was from an affluent family (his father is an attorney). As such, he escaped the notice of those that should have known better than to let him in.
Unfortunately, despite all of the privilege that Atta knew, he chose to be a death-cult nut, and "scantily clad" America was helpless before him and his maggot death-cult nut cohorts.
Saddest of all is the fact that the geniuses that founded a country where people of a practical infinity of different beliefs, religions, political bents, sexual proclivities, etc... never for a moment imagined that the future progeny of this, the greatest nation ever established (or imagined) in all of human history, would be blighted by death-cult nuts
and pathetic, worthless, anti-self-defense
SHEEPLE that would allow themselves to be flown to their deaths by people weilding BOXCUTTERS!!!
Rather, they had imagined that people raised in liberty, people that would benefit from the bounty of wealth and prosperity that liberty and freedom bring; would hold it so dear, would treasure it so, that when faced with the potential loss of it...would fight with the strength of a lion to keep it.
They couldn't have imagined how pathetic we have become. They couldn't have imagined that we would become Eloi. And never in a million years would they have imagined that something as fundamental as the right to keep and bear arms in order to protect and preserve innocent life; would ever even be up for DEBATE!!!
If they had, I would bet my last dollar that they they would have despaired of life, and died on the spot before they could have ever risked all that they had by pledging their "Lives, Fortunes," and their "Sacred Honor".
Nah! They would have fought on without regard for the weaklings of the future. The human soul demands freedom. They had to fight.
But the question was:
And Iraq had exactly what to do with that?
Please forgive me while I laugh my ??? off.
Is there a single person in this country that doesn't remember the leftists bleating about how Saddam would in fact bring down the wrath of the Arab world (IIRC they weren't using the moronic expression "Arab street" in those days...but I digress) with his infamous pronoucement of "The Mother of all Battles"?
Nah! Iraq hasn't attempted in the last 13 years to make good on that threat. NO! Iraq is more like a cute little kitty-cat. Sure, it will growl, it will scratch, and it may even bite, but in the end, Iraq is just all fwuffy-wuffy.
A guy like Saddam would never work toward encouraging death-cult nuts. He is a benevolent socialist dictator. And any fool knows that benevolent socialist dictators can do no wrong! Besides, a few million people living in absolute terror of their benevolent dictator is simply a reasonably good start toward the worker's paradise that socialism brings.
