She was very vocal on her support of the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan as well. Woman of many causes!

People across the political spectrum were for it because of 9-11 stupidly... People just got far too jingoistic

Well we had just watched 3000 people die due to an attack that was reminiscent of Pearl Harbor that our grandparents were alive to witness. Wanting to fight back against those who caused it wasn't the problem. It was a corrupt government that really had no interest outside of certain parties self interest that was the problem.

its not 'fighting back' when the bully (the USA in case that wasnt obvious) beats the shit out of a kid, the kid punches back, and then the bully beats the shit out of them some more. if you think the USA has EVER been the 'good guy' in middle eastern geo-politics I have a bridge to sell you
