Thread: Operation Ajax the root cause of 911

Sorry,, Triple post! Comp screwed up for a few seconds Also, Why are we talking politics on MLB forum in August. Wait until January when we have nothing to do around here

  You dont even now what you are talking about. The Soviets invaded Afghanistan for same reason it did Hungary in 1956. To protect the communist regime. The government that was in the process of falling (Communists) and the incoming non-communists both advocated good relations with Soviet Union. The Soviets simply didn't care because the new non communist government wouldn't be under the control of Moscow. That was the reasoning...

Plus it also goes both ways. Without WW2 United States never becomes the dominant world power. We would still be isolationist and the military spending and growth from early 40's to today never happens ----------------------------------------- Like I said--war is great business. Invest your sons.

 clearly you didn't even read how OBL came to power.  Where do you think he got all those  SAMs? --------------------------------------------------------- dude there is no soviet empire without Hitler and WWII. There were a dirt poor peasant country with 3rd world industry in the 1930's--operation barbarossa changed all that. Fired their industry and ended with them conquering mass amounts of territory as they were...

911 is just the latest in a long line of east-west clashes dating back to the Persian War...if he can go back to 1953...then I can go back to 490BC

and I thought it all happened because of Operation Dumbo Drop...
