Support as in moral support or in physical?

I thought you did not believe in war?

I believe in the defense of the innocent by any means necessary.

We should help them....but generally that help gets thrown in our faces at some point.

We helped Bin Laden with the Soviet occupation in Afghanistan, and yes it was in our interest theoretically speaking...but how did that work out?

It's not so black and white....is all I'm pointing out.

Oh- I agree. The best laid plans of mice and men...

But that doesn't change my mind about trying to do the right thing. Failure, of course, is our companion. But....so?

So what exactly is the purpose of these OBL home movies. To have something to release for people to look at but that actually means nothing.
