I like that website's efforts to get to the "truth" behind 9.11 and Sandy Hook.

We obviously went into Afghanistan because of AQ (those who cling to the silly pipeline fairy tales need to put down the meth pipe).

But, there have been humanitarian benefits/side-effects to the US invasion. <5 child mortality has declined anywhere from 33% to 50% since 2001. Which means roughly 30-50,000 fewer child deaths per year.

Now, certainly a lot of people in the US are willing to see those numbers reverse themselves if it means an end to drone strikes.
