world trade center, pentogon...

since matt said it, I feel I can say what I feel without reprecussion.

What should america do?

1 - Strategic airstrikes against every middle east country that has ever harbored, assited or funded a terrorist organization. Demolish their government buildings. Destroy their financial institutions. Do it while their leaders are in office.

Why? Because the leaders of the arab, palesteinian countries tend to agree with the type of people who do things such as this.

2 - Send in the Special Ops, SEAL teams and Airborn teams into these countries after the airstrikes and take over.

3 - Find Bin Ladin and execute him on live TV for everyone to see. You don't want to see him die, don't watch. Make an example of him and his co-horts.

If a war were to start between the US and some of these other countries, count on it, I will be the first in line at the Marine Corp recruiting office. Payback is a mother ****er.

, but that's just discrimination

It's called Nationalism. There is nothing wrong with wanting your country to be king of the hill.

This was an act of war on the United States. Those 300+ people on those planes never acted in anyway against the people who hi-jacked their plane then used them as a symbol for their hatred towards america.

Being that you have never lived in this country, you have no idea how many other countries have a shear distaste for the US. The US Government is to blame for this, not innocent people who are going on vacation.

Payback for 1000's of innocent lives is definatly warranted. It will eventually take place. I would gladly push the button.

offcourse i know that a lot of countries have shear distaste for the US. You've got no idea how sophisticated dutch people are...

we know almost everything ;)

But that is quite understandable because the US is involved in a lot of political differences all over the world. You can't make everybody happy is it?

But because the US has such a major important political task it can't just bomb every country that's in it's way...
The US has the task to teach countries how things are done, isn't it? It wouldn't be a good example to bomb all your 'enemies'.(who's the enemy anyway?)

But because the US has such a major important political task it can't just bomb every country that's in it's way...

In our WAY?? These people are not IN OUR WAY. We are not going to bomb anyone because they are in our way. We are going to bomb them because by doing what they did, they declared WAR on US, the people of the United States. And us people of the United States will stand together to pull the trigger of the mighty gun that the United States IS.

And as Axiom said, that is Nationalism. We the people of the United States of America will stand behind our county. If someone comes into our country and kills OUR innocent people, we together will retaliate against the enemy. We must stop them before they do this again. They must not bring down the morale of the people of the United States of America, for we will prevail against all enemies. And we WILL previal because we are the mightiest force in the modern world, we will not previal because we want to flex our military and political muscles. We will prevail because we are strong-minded and we WILL not stand for someone terrorizing our country. Nationalism is a strong force in this country, and it has been that way since we came here 100's of years ago.

As I said before, an eye for an eye.

I just heard an interesting statement on the radio. The man said, the countries of the Middle East MUST turn over the people responsible for this tragedy, or we WILL bomb their cities until they do. He said to give them 5 days to turn them over, or the bombing will start. Which gives those cities plenty of time to get their innocents out of there and out of harms way. I can deal with that. That sounds like a VERY good idea to me.


And about your last sentence *NL*, the enemy is::::

en·e·my (n-m)
n. pl. en·e·mies
One who feels hatred toward, intends injury to, or opposes the interests of another; a foe.

1) A hostile power or force, such as a nation.
2) A member or unit of such a force.
3) A group of foes or hostile forces. See Usage Note at collective noun.
4) Something destructive or injurious in its effects: “Art hath an enemy called Ignorance”

Look at #s 1 and 4, they apply wonderfully to this example where you asked "Who is the enemy?"

i know the meaning of enemy, all i mean is that it isn't clear who did this yet, or is it?

I watched alot of cnn today but haven't seen the latest news yet, so if anybody can fill me in?

and i didn't really mean that they were in your way, i just have put it in the wrong words i think. I guess you sorta know what i mean, i can't think of the right words right now... it's kinda late.

my main point is that the US has to think of the consequences.

We know for fact that some middle east countries got biochemical weapons, what if the US bombs the hell out of that countries???
Those countries will get pissed at the US, and i don't want to think of the consequences of that!

Fighting fire with fire is what brought us all to this point now, and we all know it's not working. As a Canadian I too am very angry, mad, upset, saddened because of this terrible and horrid act.

We, as the people of the WORLD, have to come together and change the way things are being done. We can no longer allow our selves to act like young children in a school yard and fight back, we have to now use our words. Now don't get me wrong I'm not saying that those who are guilty for this crime should not be punished, because they should, what I'm saying is that we need to think of the consequences of fighting back. Now as I have read some responses to some on this board I have to say, how typical. Fight fire with Fire. Now I'm not saying that every American is like that but as a nation you have proven it time and a time again.

Yes your country has been affected but by you going over and blowing up another country up will only cause another to strike back at you and you strike back, the circle will never end. Till there is nothing left. You, Americans, have to remember that what you do can and will affect everyone else. Yes you may have the ability to blow up the world 13 + times over with your nuclear force but that doesn't mean you should do it. Remember that what you do in response to this attack could, potentially, end it all, for everyone.

Sorry but I don't want my life in American hands.

I'm mad. Kill every prospective terrorist, and anybody who sold them anything in the past decade and then bash the living **** out of their country. And the Bin-Ladden Son of a bitch.

nice words, Kayflash... that's like almost everything i wanted to say.

But for all i know there still isn't any proof that some middle east country has had anything to do with it. There was 1 guy who said something like that, but know he says he's got nothing to do with it.

It even could be an enemy from the US itself. There are a lot of movements in the US who are against the federal government.
I don't know if i can say anything like the following, but if i can't... sorry. I don't really know how touchy the the following is.

How about a guy that's really pissed of that Timothy McVeigh was executed?

Kayflash, I don't think you understand how terrorists work. Terrorists don't use words. They use their actions. To try and talk this through with a terrorist (group) is a useless cause. If you do not stop them, they will attempt to do it time and time again. Terrorists attempted to blow up the World Trade Center in 1993, but they did not succeed. You know what the United States did in retaliation.



Nothing.




Well they just did it again KayFlash. Except this time they succeeded in killing thousands of American civilians. If we do nothing this time, what is next? What is next? Talking will accomplish nothing. If you took every murderer in to a jail, and talked to him, and then let him go without cutting off his arms, he is going to kill again. Time has proven that talk accomplishes nothing. Look at World War II. Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Although I don't believe that was the right thing to do, as a matter of fact, it was the wrong thing to do at THAT point. We literally blew those cities into oblivion. They immediately surrendered. If we hit them with enough, there will be no chemical weapons making it out of that country. And I would not be surprised if there were 1000s of U.S. fighter jets just waiting to shoot down any missile that may possbily make it into the sky.

The boss has to restart the firewall, so I've gotta jump out for a second, will write more in a few.

"push the button"..."payback"..."eye for an eye"...

I don't think you understand the seriousness of the words you are throwing around.

Don't get me wrong. I'm an American, and for the most part(as a nation, we aren't exactly perfect) proud to be, and I'm definitely stunned by what has happened this morning. Thankfully our government doesn't act as quickly as some people react, or we would have a lot more of a tragedy than the one we are faced with today. Genecide isn't the answer. Nationalism is honorable, but there is a fine line between Nationalism and Racism, and you have to be careful. Don't let the evil acts of someone else stir evil in your own soul. I think the comments that government officials have made thusfar are assurance that justice will be served, and that this is being viewed as more than just another act of terrorism (especially with the Pentagon suffering damage). Turn your attention, rather, to the victims in Washington D.C. and New York and be ready to serve your fellow Americans with compasion.

Again, don't misunderstand. I'm not condemning you for your reaction, just trying to put things into perspective. The last thing any of us wants is a war (even less, a world war), and I'm not saying that we should just roll over and forgive and forget. Justice must be served, but let's remember who we are and what we stand for.
