re: #485 Walter L. Newton

Which is what I feel Rauf was trying to point out when he made the statement “”I wouldn’t say that the United States deserved what happened. But the United States’ policies were an accessory to the crime that happened.”“

[Link: en.wikipedia.org…]

He was simply pointing out something that had a basis in historical facts… like you say “Real actions have real effects.”

It was an accurate statement. It was also incredibly stupid of him to say. Sort of like, “Yes, honey, those pants DO make your butt look big.”
