I'm saying the US is being rather heavy handed and should concentrate on the economy.

When people say things like, "And of course you know the events of 11 September 2001" it makes me not want to even enter a debate with them. Rather condescending or patronizing by the looks of it.

OK, you read those 22,000 words and let me know why America gets special consideration.

Let's not forget the CIA trained Osama to fight the Russians. Should actions like this not be considered? The foreign policy of America is rather paternal and I think this should be addressed before anyone goes near the Geneva Convention.
