Commie.
LOL @ sefant being a typical pseudo-intellectual on foreign affairs in relation to the evil empire of America.
Politics occurs around everyone 24/7 for the entirety of all our lives. 99% don't blow up and kill people because of this reality.
Individuals made their own choices.
more like paki. lol
Its sad because it looks like your intellectual horizon ends with Fox News.
The "muslim terrorist" as cause for all evil, nice if it would be so simple. And still so many americans fell for this and allowed that clown George W. 4 more years. Like i said, its not black and white, its grey and like i said it was just a question of time since their foreign politics will come back and hunt them in their own country.
And for a good reason. Muslim terrorists killed thousands of innocent people. I prefer not to imagine the number of innocent people killed by the actions of the american government. And yes, a human life count as a human life, not if he was american or iraqi etc.
To understand how a lot of other people feel you should watch this (and the other four parts). Then you should understand why it was just a question of time and why the "muslim terrorist" even had a good reason...
It was estimated that over a million allied and American lives would have been lost taking the islands. It's a numbers game KM.
The Japs knew it was futile as did Hirohito to battle against the Russians and Americans and were forwarned. If anything you can blame the emperor for allowing his people to become tempura.
Dropping the bombs was a last resort.
...with us or against us?
Lets just say I am not a fan of Islam okay. It's not grey for me.
Salivate on your peace crap all you want. I want Islam destroyed.
Now, if you'll excuse me.
You make my blood boil. I wish I lived near you and would tell me this IRL...especially on a day like today.
The ignorance is frightning.
You are a coward.
Yes, the ignorance is ridiculous. Ignorance of the middle east ups by the american goverment since 30 years starting with the Shah of Persia, over arming Saddam to fight Iran and later arming Bin Laden to fight the russians in afghanistan, installing Allawi back in the Iraq etc.
And then blaming the "muslim terrorists" as source of all evil.
But looks like its hard for several people here to see the difference between an explanation and a justification.
So you are saying terrorists aren't responsible for killing innocent people?
Sure foriegn politics are difficult, but when you are the most powerful country in the world, who doesn't want to be your best ally?
The US has tried to assist muslim nations, and when things didn't work out well for the muslims, they claim a holy war?
Bin Laden, holds a personal vendetta against the United States. He wanted his freedom fighters to protect Saudi Arabia, but was rejected because the Saudi's wanted the US Military there. I would imagine he took it personally and started warping religious texts to justify his vengeance. All this AFTER the US helped him fight off the Russians.

There is a nice quote in the video i linked:
"And you are surprised that we get bombs placed under our asses - when do you get surprised that we get _so few_ bombs placed under our asses?"
I think thats the point too less people think about. The action of terrorists killing innocent people is horrible. The outside actions of the past decades that MADE the terrorists starting to kill innocent people isnt any different.
Shah of Persia
Iran - Iraq war
Afghanistan war against russia
Please explain me the kind of "assist" of the USA there....
I got the feeling that still barely someone know something what happened in the middle east between 79 and 91...
Afghanistan war with Russia, the US along with UK and Saudi Arabia lended help for the Afghan resistance after Russia invaded.
Iran had a pact with the US for military cooperation if I recall, this is shortly before the Iran-Iraq war. I don't think the US had anything to do with Iraq until after the whole hostage thing. That is when the US opinion of Iran began to change. The hostage were kept by radical muslims who wanted more arms. Get this... even Israel was helping out Iran by attacking Iraq. Once the Ayatollah took over, after seeing what radical muslims do to American citizens, what would you do to protect your own citizens?
Saddam was just ing crazy. If anything the UK had more to do with Iraq than the US did.
You're dead wrong so quit trying to sound smart. McVeigh bombing that building was fueled by him thinking the Waco Siege was the government acting against Christianity.
So I guess this isn't a thread where we can pay respects to the people who lost their lives.
It seems like a thread where people discuss how we brought this upon ourselves.
Just like all the fire fighters who died that day doing their job, they brought it upon themselves.
Well, it started when someone throw the "enemy" punchline.
I consider anyone who was in on the the death of innocent people on 9/11 enemies.
What are we supposed to do? Consider them friends?
I used to fall asleep watching ESPNEWS...Woke up that morning and sports wasn't on. All they were talking about was the towers. About 5 minutes after I woke up, the second plane hit. I'll never forget it.

I may be talking out my naive, "we're the good guys" ass, but this isn't a shade of gray. I don't expect every country to like the US and we are not saints. But this is anti-American. He's making the case for an attack. I couldn't get through all of it.
I wasn't alive in 1973. President Bush was snorting cocaine around that time. Who is Osama bin Ladin attacking? What does he hope to accomplish with the attack? To kill Americans. To do exactly to us what he thinks was done to him. He'll become a freedom fighter when he liberates his people from state-sanctioned religion. He'll be a freedom fighter when he allows women to walk the street. He'll be a freedom fighter when he allows actual schools in his country.
When his rhetoric becomes about FREEDOM and not about KILLING AMERICANS!
Only after he does all that will I even answer the question about him being a freedom fighter. We may have been asking for a punch in the nose, but this is not the man to deliver it. To live under him as a ruler, like Hitler before him, would enslave and opress many, many people and turn fantasy and theory into the word of God.
On a personal note, YOU!
