Destroying the lives of many people indirectly in pursuit of money, however, is just an unfortunate fact of life.

Hey now. That's not always true.

Consider the Twin Towers Attacks (which indirectly enriched the Saudi Royal family immensely). Americans were so enthusiastic to avenge the honored dead of Cantor Fitzgerald financial services that they flew to the opposite side of the planet and started wars with multiple other countries on totally false pretenses.

Similarly, we've been gungho in funding the massacre of Gaza residents when they greedily and villanuously attempted their Right of Return to homes lost in the '47 Nakba.

And let's never forget our 50 year crusade against the money grubbing, land stealing, economy looting Communists.

The Suez Crisis, the Iranian Revolution, Vietnam? I think we can all agree they were unconscionable and deserving of an unlimited Holocaust of native peoples in response.

Osama Bin Laden has been exiled from Saudi Arabia in the 1990s and had his citizenship revoked 7 years before September 2001. The US chose to ignore intelligence about an imminent attack and was also working with Al-Qaeda in East Turkmenistan. The people who profited from the attacks were US companies' CEOs and shareholders.
