Cause and effect in our ever-expanding “war”原因及影响在不断扩大的“战争”
But it's equally irrational to think that you're going to spend a full decade bellowing WE ARE AT WAR! to the world, send bombs and troops and all forms of death to multiple Muslim countries (both directly and through Israel), and not have that directed back at us.但它同样不合理认为你会花了整整十年吼叫我们正处于战争！向世界，发送炸弹和部队和死亡的所有形式的多个穆斯林国家（包括直接和通过以色列），并没有这回我们指示。 That's what happens when a country is “at war” — it doesn't just get to blow up things and people in other countries, but its own things and people sometimes get blown up as well.这就是发生在一个国家处于战争状态“” - 它不只是让炸毁的东西，在其他国家的人民，但它自己的事情，有时难免要炸毁以及。 That's how “war” works.这就是“战争”工程。
It's truly astounding to watch us — for a full decade — send fighter jets and drones and bombs and invading forces and teams of torturers and kidnappers to that part of the world, or, as we were doing long before 9/11, to overthrow their governments, prop up their dictators, occupy what they perceive as holy land with our foreign troops, and arm Israel to the teeth, and then act surprised and confused when some of them want to attack us.这是很惊人观看我们 - 一个整整十年 - 发送战斗机和无人驾驶飞机和炸弹和侵略势力和酷刑和绑架者队，世界的一部分，或者像我们这样做多久，9 / 11，推翻他们的政府，支撑他们的独裁者，占据他们认为是与我们的外国军队神圣的土地，以色列武装到了牙齿，然后采取行动感到惊讶和困惑时，其中一些要攻击我们。 In general, the US only attacks countries with no capabilities to attack us back in the “homeland” — at least not with conventional forces.一般来说，美国仅进攻，没有攻击能力的国家在“家园”我们回来 - 至少不符合常规部队。
As a result, we have come to believe that any forms of violence we perpetrate on them over there is justifiable and natural, but the Laws of Humanity are instantly breached in the most egregious ways whenever they bring violence back to the US, aimed at Americans.因此，我们开始相信任何形式的暴力，我们对他们犯下那边是合理的，自然的，但人类的法律是违反立即在最令人震惊的方式每当他们带来暴力回到美国，在美国人的目的。 It's just impossible to listen to discussions grounded in this warped mentality without being astounded at how irrational it is.这是不可能听此基础没有被扭曲的心态惊讶于它是多么的不理性的讨论。 What do Americans think is going to happen if we continue to engage in this conduct, in this always-widening “war”?美国人认为这是什么会发生，如果我们继续从事这种行为在这个永远扩大“战争”？
