fake War On Terror

-- John F. Kennedy

Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.

Oooooo ... here's the flame I was waiting for. Back it up with facts huh? Read here for an idea on how they are not all that different at all. Not just the comments, follow some of the links.

Kerry was a war hero and "everyone that served with him" says so ... Um, don't think so.

Bush started a war that resluted in over 1000 american deaths ... damn, I could have sworn that someone else started the war by killing 2948 Americans. Guess I was wrong.

Kerry and Bush are both silver-spoon born million/billionares with no grasp on what the common man goes through day to day. Do you think either of them has ever been in a position where they had $5 left in their account and were stuck deciding between getting gas or food for the evening? Think either of them has ever seen red ink in their personal checkbooks and prayed that the paycheck went through before the mortgage check? Open your eyes and stop sucking at the liberal teat of the left-wing.

I'm getting real tired of this 9/11 thing.
most of the people killed in this disaster were not even American citizens and 99% of the world cares less about it than we pretend to do.
It was the WORLD TRADE CENTER and the only people that give a shit are U.S.
I propose the next WORLD TRADE CENTER be built in Spain then perhaps when it's targeted next the Spaniards, Germans, French, Russians, might give a shit but I doubt it.
While were at it let's move the U.N. to Ethiopia that way when suicide bombers in U-Haul trucks pull up and level three city blocks nobody has to give a shit.

are you brain dead? Most of the workers at the WTC were American. Check out their names and where they lived if you don't believe me. Maybe you are getting really tired of this 9/11 thing. Maybe you don't live anywhere near where it happened, or you just don't care. Will you care when it's you, or someone you love who gets up in the morning, goes to work, and gets killed for no good reason?

Or then will you be calling for better border security? Will you be saying it's ok to have the Feds get ISP logs with a warrent? It would be a different tune if it were someone you knew right?

I don't know what is more sad, that 9/11 happened, or that people don't care because it had nothing to do with anyone they knew.

So let me get this straight: Developing new technology won't help, because that was the problem in the first place. However, even if we "act like angels" and don't do anything for here on out, we're still screwed because (in your mind) it's okay for terrorists to murder us.

For sake of argument, let's accept your inane "solution" as true. Shouldn't we still try to at least develop countermeasures instead of "taking a kick in the balls"?

What are you, a feverish follower of Michael Moore that steadfastly believes the USA is the only nation to have ever done evil things? I can only hope you were kidding when you say that the we let some of our major cities be destroyed, then use the term "rational leadership" in the next paragraph. Yeah, accepting a nuclear destruction is perfectly rational.

By the way, here are 2,998 people who had nothing to do with America's "evil past".

However, the termination of the lives of real human beings is something that ought to disturb any right thinking person

It does.

Check if Israelis are underrepresented among WTC victims: victims by country

Check if the claim of the website that there are no jewish names among the victims list: List of WTC victims(Cohen and Levi might be good names to check. While you are at the site, it would be good to read about some of the victims.)
