There was a report on the news that some people believe no terrorist group was capable of doing this by themselves, so either a country was helping out, or several have got together to form a terrorist supergroup - this scares me.
On the subject of blowing up planes here's a hypothetical question; I put 500 people in a locked room, and 5 people and a bomb in another next to it. In 10 minutes the bomb will explode and kill all 505 people. I give you a button that allows the bomb to be disarmed by a smaller charge exploding, which will, of course, kill the 5 people in the room with the bomb. What do you do? Would it make any difference if you were in one of the rooms? [This message has been edited by Staralfur (edited 09-11-2001).] |

At the moment a massacre and an outrage has been commited by warped extremists responisible to no-one. If a democratically elected govt then goes out and commits the same acts then you are worse than these few individuals. You would stand accused, as a society, of the same crimes. ------------------ Fear? I know not the meaning of the word. And you can keep that dictionary away from me! |

The point is that there's no way to convert a fanatic. There's only one way to prevent him from action: removing him. Whether that means putting him in jail or killing him, that's irrelevant. If you cannot remove him, he will strike again until he is removed. That is a realisation that society must come to. Until then, terrorism will keep creeping up and there's nothing that we can do that will stop them from doing so. Now, I don't know if you believe in God or not. But if you were told all your life that the American Scum must die 'cause God told us so in our dreams, you would be led to believe that all American must die. It's that simple. To them, killing innocent is like killing a fly overing over a big mac: it must be done. ------------------ If I am because I think, then, if I talk without thinking, I'm not really talking! Am I? |

who are you to sacrfice others? who are you to decide your actions is for the "greater good"? perhaps when everyone is wiped out from the face of the earth, there will be no more terroism

I was just trying help people understand the pure stupidity of this. For those who just didn't understand the why. Just read my posts and you'll get it! It's sad but that's the way it is |

There is a Marine Amphibious Unit station on Okinawa. This is a very powerful unit with approx. 7000 marines which cruise on various assault ships including a mini-carrier. Send them in and wipe out every terrorist camp in Afghanistan. If Afghanistan objects...well thats why we make Mk82 bombs. ■■■■'em they've been harboring garbage too long. And they arent much better in any case
