I felt just like this after 9/11. I don’t know enough about your country to tell you what the right thing to do is. But I wish that the USA could go back in time and just gradually assassinate Al Queda with the CIA instead or something. Those occupations were doomed from the start.
The CIA is literally the reason the Al Queda exists. has consistently been the biggest force funding and training terrorists groups around the world. Al Queda is just the modern iteration on the Mujahideen whom US was propping up in the 80s.
Yup. Listen to the latest season of Blowback podcast. CIA sheltered/evacuated a bunch of Al Quaeda leaders right before the invasion of Afghanistan began.
The US government at the time did not want to do any such thing. Project For A New American Century, the think tank most of the Bush administration officials came from, openly wrote about how they were hoping for a “new Pearl Harbor” they could use to take the US into war with Iraq. Later, President Bush got a memo about how Al Qaeda was going to attack the US mainland and he did nothing. Then 9/11 happened and the government lied the country into a war with Iraq. What part of this makes you think they were going to do anything about Al Qaeda (other than giving them more funds maybe)?

Just look at the US military, we already have
This isn’t a good reason

You’re right, I wish they had done the opposite.
Would’ve been living in a better world. (Cue that one Al Gore alternate reality SNL skit.)

I never said beheaded. The other person did.

Feel free to actually click the pictures of you’re so certain Hamas never massacred babies.

It also is really concerned with the “beheading” aspect which again, I haven’t brought up. There’s images of shot and burned babies.
Again: you’re sick in the head and defending people who literally looked at babies and shot and burned them.
Al Jazeera is the mouthpiece of the Qatari ruling party. You know: The people who are hosting the Hamas leaders. That’s like linking to jpost.
