Amen. People sometimes fail to see what should be obvious cause/effect relationships. In his 3rd Lost Quatrain, Nostradamus prophesied that a giant asteroid should have hit earth last year. I'm proud to say that I'm the reason it hasn't. yet. Everyday at noon, I stand in my back yard wearing my PsychoKinetic Booster Helmet, willing that the asteroid be diverted. Obviously, it's working.
That isn't any more absurd than saying that U.S. occupation of a country which never engaged in state supported terrorism against the U.S. is the reason we haven't been attacked lately.
And we liberals don't trivialize the deaths of U.S. service personnel. Who has less regard for their lives; those of us who want them home, or those who insist that just a few thousand more deaths will turn the tide? Before you tell me that they died for God and Country, let me remind you that those jihadists that drive a car full of explosives into a crowded market and blow up a few dozen men, women, and children will say exactly the same thing.
