Tell him he's crazy and full of crap. Al-Qaeda spawned from the radical nether regions of Islam, not the US government.

I know people who say shit like that. It's best to just ignore them.

Here's what he said:

"The government wanted to not seem too weak, to they "created" a group for them to fight against, which became al qaeda. As Bin Laden used his newfound for that. The government didn't caused 9/11, the government created al qaeda. Yes, Bin Laden didn't have a group. It was just a tiny group of 5 people. There was no organisation until the government gave them enough fame and cause enough fear, which HE wanted in the first place. The war on terror was fighting against an opponent the government created, even if by acxident. It's evidence put together."

Keep in mind that he's not from the U.S., and he's currently high according to his message.

Well he's kind of right, the US government did support and fund Bin Laden during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. I wouldn't go so far as to say they created Al Qaeda though.

So should I take his word with a grain of salt and block him?

I mean he's half right, the US government did fund and supply Bin Laden which may have helped lead to the creation of Al Qaeda, but they didn't do it to start a war on terror. The US government supported anyone who was fighting against communism during the cold war no matter what the reason. It's only logical that they would support the Afghan Mujahideen.

Block him if he's bothering you, I don't care.

No I question them too. I dont think these "veteran users" actually exist.

My legs fell asleep because my kitty slept on my lap and I didnt want to disturb her.
