Everybody dies at some point.
Just curious... what makes you think it was unprovoked? They did it for no reason at all? Surely they were provoked in some way.Quote:

The 9/11 victims in D.C. and New York City were complete strangers to the hijackers. The perpetrators wanted to go to allah and get their 72 virgins. That's a big motivation for suicide bombers.
These are extremely stupid, though dangerous, people.
Geez, everybody knows the terrorists are angry at America for their freedom. :rolleyes:
Yes, he did do that. He also supported the partisan of India to create Pakistan.Quote:

Then he "failed" to take what he "knew" to be true and put it into action. His life was in danger and he knew it, but taking steps to protect himself wouldn't have fit his agenda..
Yep, don't we all. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with the fact that we've been meddling in their region for decades. :thumbsup: Of course that doesn't make terrorism right, so any of you right wingers about to accuse me think again, but it does give some perspective on WHY they hate us.Quote:

I can kinda understand Afghanistan, but why Iraq? Really why. To get rid of Saddam? That's a good thing but our government would never do that. They would never spend THIS much money if that was their agenda. So why?
My opinion is we are slowly taking over sections of the middle East. Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran is next. And our military bases in Afghanistan and Iraq will help IMMENSELY. This was their plan to begin with. How can it not be? Do you really think it is a coincidence that there are military bases in Iraq closer to Iranian cities than Iraqi cities? Where is the logic behind that. I really wish someone would answer these questions. Forget the conspiracies and forget the bullshit - the fact is you must be BLIND not to see what is going on. I don't pretend to be enlightened or a know-it-all, but it's damn near obvious. Look back in history and anaylse our present situation. We tend to repeat ourselves an awful lot, even in our so called civilized society.
We invade Iran and we continue to feed the minds of terrorists. Iran aren't going to start a nuclear war. Noone is. Except maybe us.
They don't hate us because of our freedom or our influence in the region. Thier philosophy is that it was a much better time when the Persian empire was in charge. At the present, they'd like to see us all under Sharia Law while still being able to worship our own gods. That at least is the beliefs of the Mullahs in Iran.......as far as Al-Quada is concerned, either your with them or against them.....plain and simple. Allah is king and will not return untill everyone follows his practices.Quote:

I'm against them for sure. Recognizing why they hate us doesn't mean Im with them.Quote:
