Doing my best to edit my repsonse to Breukelen_advocaat....

"What the United Nations does or does not do is not up to the people of the United States, or those visiting the World Trade Center. "

I thought the US and the UK were a big part of the UN. Besides, the US and UK military also carried out an extensive bombing campaign in Iraq prior to 911.

"...the Islamic world is not cooperating enough, and our government has not been effective enough in capturing or killing them."

They have ben pretty effective in capturing and killing people thousands of innocent people though.

"The 1993 bombing was financed by al Quida member Khaled Shaikh Mohammed, and carried out by Ramzi Yousef, Mahmud Abouhalima, Mohammad Salameh, Nidal Ayyad, Abdul Rahman Yasin and Ahmad Ajaj. Doesn't sound like "our citizens" to me."

I was talking about the attacks in 2001. Wasn't it people who had lived and trained in the US that carried it out?
