Then you have your own radical American groups who can learn how to create devastating weapons of destruction in our public libraries! We opened the door for people to commit blatent radical atrocities against our country a long time ago. Its past time that we slam that door shut. Long past time. I don't think that the majority of Americans put our country above any other as to the worth of its people (with the exception of a few middle east haters who have shown their disregard for middle-eastern lives in this forum for the last couple of days) but I could be wrong by believing in the best in all common people, that people world-wide have respect for everyone on the planet. ------------------ You know childhood is over when a puddle seems like an obstacle instead of an opportunity.

I dislike some of the things that were done in WWII but then again I wasnt standing next to my friends as Nazi machineguns tore them apart either...nor was I in the concentration camps....And as for what the US and Brittain did in winning that War, you DO NOT want to compare us to what the Soviets were doing on the other German front. Do not mix a world war into the same catagory as terrorism they are NOT the same. ------------------ Disintigration is easy, If you really want to impress me, ReIntegrate it. |

Oh and by the way while it has NOT been proven yet exactly who funded this operation it HAS been proven that there are DEFINATE links to the middle east, not the least of which is Osama Bin Ladden's on promise that he WOULD take action soon against the USA only 3 weeks ago.

That is not to say that all foreigners are bad or bad for our country, but many with bad intentions can slip through unnoticed under the pretense that they are here to become citizens. This worries me because I'm hoping to study in the US next year. After that I'd like to make it my home. I hope they'll let me in all right. I'm notta terrorist |

I think it is patently obvious that most Americans seem to value American lives more than those of people of other countries.
It is patently obvious that most Americans care a good deal more about terrorist threats to the US than to other countries. The same could probably be said of the attitudes of most other countries in the world. It is common to value the people closest to you more (and I mean this as much in personal and cultural senses as physical) than people further away. I don't see any point in denying this basic truth. |

The world was/is horrified by the genocide of the Jews, the events in Bosnia, Northern Ireland and Israel, Chile, Cambodia and the like. Tragedy is tragedy. The difference with this is the number of lives lost in but a few hours. Surely only Nagasaki and Hiroshima are worse. Also we have the economic chaos. This is the economic capital of the world. This affects the whole world and creates confusion and anxiety in far corners. ------------------ I am the walrus!.... er, no hang on.... A fair dinkum laughing Hyena! |

Hell, most Americans don't know a thing about the events in Chile and Cambodia to which you refer, for example. They don't know because they don't really give a damn. Those are just far away events which have no real bearing on events in the US, in such minds. Sad but true. [This message has been edited by Diogenes Of Pumpkintown (edited 09-12-2001).] |

Sure, but the death of a family member impacts an individual far greater than a faceless individual from across the world. The less distance, the greater the pain [/QUOTE] Ack.
