    Corrected: Imagine if after Pearl Harbor, FDR rallied the nation to invade India. That's kind of what happened between 9/11 & 2003.

        @HeerJeet I remember sitting in my office with a conservative student in the build-up to Iraq having this same conversation.

        @HeerJeet Actually heard war supporters make their case off of a similar comparison, i.e. Iraq being the Germany to Afghanistan's Japan.

        @HeerJeet @burritojustice 100,000s killed, trillions wasted. Nobody went to prison for that.

        @KeMaiYu @HeerJeet @burritojustice China was fighting off the Japanese and therefore an ally. Thailand would be good. Semi allied to Japan.

        @KeMaiYu @HeerJeet @burritojustice True. Anyway, I think we all get the point. Such a blatant, huge deception and half the world bought it

        @HeerJeet FDR would allege secret meetings between Nazis and Cuban officials, fireside chats about danger of Nazi bombs coming from Cuba etc
