But al-Qaeda murdered my friend.
3,000 innocent civilians were killed on 9/11. They didn&#8217;t deserve it. Over 7,000 innocent civilians have been killed in Afghanistan. They didn&#8217;t deserve to die either. The difference is that al-Qaeda kills civilians on purpose. And that is a huge difference.

		<description><![CDATA[Everybody needs a good rant from time to time. Cenk Uygur didn&#8217;t like the fact that a protester was allowed to openly carry a handgun at an anti-Obamacare protest. It&#8217;s pretty obvious why protests and guns don&#8217;t mix, but this happened very close to the location where Obama was scheduled to appear. Watch the video [...]]]></description>
