if a mayor of a town in Afghanistan told everyone he wants the US to invade while bombs are falling on his countrymen? yeah. I'd feel the same way?

A mayor of a town who worked with the enemy of his country, which is currently bombing civilians regularly, is not the same as a “random” citizen who supports their own country. Thats a mind bogglingly stupid comparison.

That's not exactly a 1:1 comparison, is it? And I say that as someone who personally wouldn't give a fuck about those nationalists meeting their end at the hands of the victims of such a war.
