Continue your personal attacks; I challenge anyone to discredit my statements in a mature, non-blindly-patriotic manner. I know it is a difficult feat for one to look critically on his country, especially when countries like America BRAINWASH their citizens. I challenge you to think critically if you believe the US has been justified in creating monstrosities tenfold the severity of this one.

How about this, I'd like YOU to back up some of YOUR statements...

Here's a couple:
The US blew up its own ship, the U.S.S. Maine, to start the Spanish-American War and STEAL a sphere of influence in Latin America.

So, the US did this on purpose, eh? Where's your proof or even hint of proof?

The US provoked war with Japan (by cutting off its oil and supplies) to commence Pearl Harbor and its profitable involvement in WWII.

Hello? So you're saying Japan didn't already have any plans to fight with America? Are you saying that Japan and Germany and company and what they were doing was perfectly justified? Are you saying it's perfectly justified for a country to attack another country for imposing a country-to-country embargo? Keeping in mind part of the reason for the embargo was to get Japan to get out of China? In addition, did the US even impose the embargo? EDIT: Never mind, I found a link saying an embargo was in place... The other questions still stand.

Seems like you're defending the Japanese and their monstrosities in China during the late '30s and '40s... Don't know about them? Maybe YOU should try to read some history (try the Rape of Nanking)...

Here's a quote:
In July 1941, the U.S. threatened Japan with an oil embargo unless Japan withdrew from China. Rather than withdraw from China and abandon its imperialist aspirations, Japan chose to attack the U.S. while it still had the oil reserves needed to wage war.

I haven't done any research on the others, but I sure that their are arguments against your other points, too... Does that mean the U.S. is a nation of angels and never does anything wrong?

No, but I would be a little chary before I start throwing unfounded accusations around... Especially as you're using American boards to post to a largely American audience from an American city which just suffered the worst of the terrorists attacks...

I have a simple response. Kill all the cowardly b@stards that orchestrated this. No matter who they are, Arab, or not, Muslim or not, it doesn't matter.Send the SOB's to he!!, and may there souls be damned for all of eternity! Yes we support Israel, but is it worth killing 10s of thousands of people over? I dont care if they use SEAL teams or a tactical thermonuclear weapon, whatever gets the job done. I don't want innocents killed, but it is hard to say that when you see people rejoicing in the streets. If innocents do get killed, they can only blame those fscking idiots who decided to do this in the first place.

we need a lot of oil anyway, why not just take over the middle east. it will then be easier to assassinate known terrorists, regardless of whether they are responsible for this terrorist act or others.

<< Konichiwa,
At this point, don't you think Bi Laden is directly or indirectly responsible? Don't you think that palestinian involvement has been certified? I think they are taking it too easy. They should also be moving into Palestine. Ararfat condemns the act but you won't see any help from him, only hindrance. >>

LOL, "at this point" -- do you realize it is less than 12 hours after the initial attack? It is rediculous how bloodthirsty Americans get immediately after a terrorist attack. We MUST HAVE someone to blame. And Bin Laden is the easiest target. I have no problem with killing Bin Laden, but at least make sure it is him before you start attacking.

Anyone remember the cruise missles that hit the drug factory in Sudan? If not, read up on it -- the US was "positive" that a pharmaceutical factory in Sudan was making Anthrax and other biological weapons for Bin Laden under the guise of being a plant that manufactures Malaria treatment drugs. So we bombed it. Then UN troops investigated and it was clearly ONLY a malaria treatment factory. And because of our knee jerk response, Sudan, one of the poorest countries in Africa, lost one of its FEW malaria treatment manufacturing plants, and the number of people who died from Malaria shot up.

 

[RedRooster]

Who the hell would want to manufacture malaria?!

You know what I mean.
