Im more concerned with the brutality at home.
If all this time has passed and the complete joke of AQ being some outside threat somehow makes sense to you. Then you got one of 2 problems, maybe both. An information block/blind spot, or your ignorrant of the fact that AQ could not exist in its current form without the CIA and Mi5.
Debating is often productive, but if your debating on a false reality your just making noise.
