Look, someone is getting bitchslapped. The specifics don't really matter.

Why the hell does he take off his shirt?

I'm going to have to be that guy but okay.
First off the situation in the Middle East stems LONG before 9/11 or other everts. Conflict between the Middle East and the "West" was started by colonization and European Imperialism in the area. One main issue that arose was the UK's creation of the state of Israel, which we all know has led to much conflict for decades.
The situation in Afghanistan and Al Qaeda also stems from the Soviet invasion of the country and the US supplying arms and money to them to combat the Soviets. One of the groups we supported was Al Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden. Bin Laden didn't like having the US and the Western world influencing Saudi Arabia (where he was from), and wanted US and other UN troops out of the country. He was exiled from Saudi Arabia for his political stance and radicalism. This is AFTER the Soviets were fought back.
There was another incredibly hostile state blooming further north known as the country of Iran. The US put a man in power to combat the Iranians so they wouldn't have to. A man who hated Iran and would go to war with them and keep them preoccupied. This man is Saddam Hussein. We gave Saddam weapons and money (which we kind of tried to keep secret) and he ultimately went to war with Iran.
Then Saddam turned his attention to Kuwait and its oil. The US didn't get involved until the Iraqis accidentally attacked one of our ships thinking it was a Kuwait ship. Thus the first Persian Gulf. Saddam was using our money and our weapons to attack our allies and countries we had an economic interest in.
If you look at the worst dictators of the 20th century you will see Saddam (responsible for over half a million innocent deaths and probably a million more). Saddam also had ties to other terrorists groups not necessarily Al Qaeda but I don't have to go into other details. Al Qaeda is not the only terrorist group in the Middle East.

TL;DR there are other reasons for the war in Iraq

I love how he takes his shirt off to hit him

Dumping some 'merica.

guy sat next to him FW

I'll just leave this here

did the shirt really have to come off?

still dont understand why people always take off their shirts before a fight

I loved it, and im not even from the USA

I hate how you can't say anything downwards against the U.S on FunnyJunk because you get pummeled with red thumbs.

2001
>Al Queda attacks on 9/11
> US invades Afghanstan to eliminate Al Queda and Taliban
2002-2003
> Intel says Saddam has WMD's
>US invades Iraq for this purpose (or oil or whatever purpose you'd like to think)
>Bad intel

Al Queda actually hated Saddam and vice-versa. The conflicts were unrelated asides from geographic location and both were Muslim countries which is why people always grouped them together. Neither country even speaks the same language.

Does taking your shirt off help with slapping people?
