the USSR, leaving Afghanistan in ruins ever since.
The same can be said of Damascus, another beautiful Arab city. And let's
not forget the meddling in Iran.
Durring the hostage criss at the US embasy in '79, President Carter made
it clear that we were all supposed to forget the misdeads of the US,
labeling them as "ancient history", but also reminding us that dwelling
on Americas's faults only helped the enemy.
The idea here is classic, psychopathic thinking:: I may have robbed you
yesterday, but that doesn't give you the right to retaliate. If you
think this type of thinking is appropriot you should be on the FBI list
of people to watch.

Pointless rhetoric. Bin Laden may have not done any comunity service by
any US standard, but he has stated in his writtings that his purpose is
to free the Arab people from US oppression and tyranny. So, in this
regard, yes, maybe the US should capture the hearts and minds of the
Muslim people by leaving them the hell alone.

Correct, it is a fable. Not only was the US not united, but everyone
with a mind and some human compassion was against this Invasion.
Afghanistan didn't bomb the US. There's even a smattering of evidence
that the Israeli Mossad was involved.
Iraq had nothing to do with it.

All the smoking guns point to this conclusion.

Oops....apples and oranges. Bin Laden openly stated that he would not
deal with Saddam because he was heretical to Islam, having been in the
pocket of the US for so many years.
So it's only natural than in a post-Saddam Iraq Al Qaeda should do it's
part to rid the middle east of US invaders.

Which it is.

Which they are.

I can tell you it's not finished. My good friend is there right
now shooting women and childen (so he says) that get within 1/2 km of
their opperations.
>In this fable, we are not safer as a nation.

You arn't safer as a nation. This is one of the stated goals of the
anti-US movement in the middle east: make the US as un-free and
forshortened as their countries have been made by the US. You've
destroyed their home and people and it's made them quite angry. How can
you possibly not realize that if they don't come and get you, and
they'll try, that your HSA has given your gov't powers over you that
will come back to bite your ass. But wait, you're not guilty of anything
(that you know of...)! Well the HSA isn't about guilt now, is it,
vis-a-vis Guantanamo Bay.

True, but Blair is responsible also. Don't forget: it's easier to get to
Europe than the US so, of course, they're going to target these people
first. If the US were closer, they'd be in a lot more trouble.

But that's not the goal. The US / Haliburton is currently building a
massive millitary base in Iraq. The goal is control of the middle east
oil reserves.

Only a moron would think that this is untrue. US intervention in the
middle east IS the cause of their attempts to punish/oust the foreign
invaders.

This guy is just about the least informed/intellegent writter I've had
the miserable displeasure to read in recent memory.
The idea that US action can be divorced from the discussion is just not
an option. Except in the US.

to both sides. that not taking one side doesnt
seem neutral to you, who is quite obviously on one
side, thats natural and i cant do anything about it.

you must be talking to someone else. i dont hold a double standard. i dont
understand terrorists. as i said above,
ill take sides with whoever comes up and says "lets stop
the violence". thats the side im on. because it has the best
track record. end of story.

doesnt make a difference why they dont have planes. the
logical decision for a religious fanatic is to use
violence. depending on the tools at your disposal,
you choose. its the way violence works.
