I'm not going to convince anyone but if Lurker thinks 9/11 was the only time he's high as fuck. Aside from 9/11...
1993 WTC bombing, Fort hood, San Bernardino, NYC truck attack, Boston Marathon, Pulse nightclub, etc
This doesn't include the recent individual attacks by homegrown terrorists in the name of Islam.
1993. Wow had to go back that far. When I clearly said the "last time" was 9/11.
Fort Hood - American military activist did this.
San Bernardino - According to the FBI's investigation, the perpetrators were "homegrown violent extremists" inspired by foreign terrorist groups. They were not directed by such groups and were not part of any terrorist cell or network.
NYC truck attack - Sayfullo Saipov, 34, of Uzbekistan - which was a part of the Soviet Union then, was sentenced to eight consecutive life sentences, two concurrent life sentences, and a consecutive sentence of 260 years in prison for carrying out a terrorist attack on Oct. 31, 2017, in the name of the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS),
Boston Marathon - Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev - Chechen brothers, born in Russia. Dzhokhar and his brother were motivated by extremist beliefs but "were not connected to any known terrorist groups", instead learning to build explosive weapons from an online magazine published by al-Qaeda affiliates in Yemen.[17] They further alleged that "Dzhokhar and his brother considered suicide attacks and striking the Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular on the Fourth of July";[168] but ultimately decided to use remotely-activated pressure cooker bombs and other IEDs. Fox News reported that the brothers "chose the prestigious race as a 'target of opportunity' ... [after] the building of the bombs came together more quickly than expected".[169][170]
Dzhokhar said that he and his brother wanted to defend Islam from the U.S., accusing the U.S. of conducting the Iraq War and War in Afghanistan against Muslims.[143][171][172] A CBS report revealed that Dzhokhar had scrawled a note with a marker on the interior wall of the boat where he was hiding; the note stated that the bombings were "retribution for U.S. military action in Afghanistan and Iraq",
Pulse nightclub - Omar Mateen swore allegiance to the leader of ISIS, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, and said the U.S. killing of Abu Waheeb in Iraq the previous month "triggered" the shooting.[5] He later told a negotiator he was "out here right now" because of the American-led interventions in Iraq and in Syria
Not a single incident directly contributed to Iran. If you wanted to make the US safer against terrorists, you would start with those damn Republican school shooters.
