It isn't logical, its emotional. There is no logic in imperialism given historical evidence against it.

Sure there is logic. We are talking about destroying America. We are talking about us and therefore the rest gets omitted.
If we want to talk about what the blowback will be from the Iraq war, then the rest of that is very relevant though.
Honestly I feel like the most understated danger in all of this is the 95,500 non-American deaths presumably caused by Americans. I imagine that each of those 95,500 or so has a family and many people who are angry and looking for revenge. It's pretty incredible that we have done all of this in the name of "safety" and have simply gone out of our way to recruit hundreds of thousands of people who want to kill Americans. Utterly amazing how modern human logic works.
