who cares, its a war. you have to break some eggs to make an omlette. of course it sux that they are innocent lives, but those same people probably cheered when the planes hit. not to mention that they WERE shooting guns into the air, be it tradition or not, the pilots didnt know that. i dont mean to sound like a savage, but these things are going to happen. lets not forget future terrorist attacks on the US and throughout the world. they arent going to quit, and it is dumb. again, it is sad that they died if innocent, but lets not forget that in war, people die. not all may be enemy, but like in Vietnam, you can never tell who is and who isnt.

<font color="snow">Lets not forget about future US attacks on the world. 1998 US bombing of Libyia killed more civilians than the terrorists them selves did. More people died in Afghanistan than did in the WTC.
Lets not forget that in war people die you say. They may not all be enemy you say.
Lets not forget that in war people died in Afghanistan. They were not all the enemy as percieved by the Americans. But to strike at the heart of the enemy civilians had to die.
Lets not forget that in war people died in the WTC. They were not all the enemy as percieved by al-Qaeda. But to strike at the heart of the enemy civilians had to die. </font></font>[/QUOTE]i see your point of view, however, we DIDNT start this. liberals are so quick to put down America, especially those who dont even live here. it would be a completely different story if the attack came to YOUR land. im about 110% positive that if it happened in Europe, or Australia, or Asia, or New Zealand, that people would as the US for help. those people KNEW American planes were flying in the air. there is no way NOT to hear them, they are LOUD!! they shot guns into the air. our pilots are hundreds of feet in the air. all they saw was a group of people, shooting at them. they did what ANYONE would have done to protect himself. nobody sees it that way though. the liberals of the world have a field day with this stuff. more "ammunition" for their anti-military campaigns. these people killed THOUSANDS of innocent lives for NO reason, other than hate. we are killing MILITARY targets out of SELF DEFENSE, and retaliation. like i said, yes, its sad when innocent people had to die, but those people COULD have actually been firing at the planes, for all the pilots knew. im not a monster, i have feelings, and that is why i hate the taliban and al-quida, because they DONT have feelings, and they ARE monsters. kill them all, and let the powers that be sort them out. (not the civilians) all im saying is, when you are in the air, being fired upon, you dont have time to turn around, land your plane, give a location, get an intelligence briefing, refuel, reload, take off, and then proceed to bomb them. it was a target of opportunity, and unfortuneately, it was a bad target. people need to stop looking at all of the "negatives" that America sometimes does, and focus on all of the POSITIVES. all we are doing is trying to keep the world a safer place. you would understand if you were in the military. there is alot more that goes on than you could POSSIBLY imagine. lets put you into the middle of enemy controlled area, and have them shoot at you, and lets see how you would react. i use that as an example, just to illistrate(sp) my point. i wish that there WOULD be peace, and that everyone COULD get along. unfortuneately, places like Iraq, Afghanistan, and Iran wont allow that to happen. America has been the target of terrorism forever, and we are NOT going to sit idley by while someone tries to do away with us, and our way of life. thanx for listening to my rhetoric. |
