They can't see why they are hated

I know that this is a very emotional time for us and we are filled with unprecedented anger but we must not stop thinking.

[veronica]

OH PLEASE. There is nothing of value in this Left-wing anti-American tripe.

[Bikers4Bush]

The only thing I'm thinking at the moment is that the article you posted is a worthless piece of crap.

[section9]

Yah, brahs. However, it is far better to kill and think at the same time. This guy has no clue about the American character, and has no idea about what we are about to do to these people.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

Typical tripe posted by the pro-terrorist crowd. You have a sick mind.

[Cyber Liberty]

Sorry. When someone's taking innocent lives in a wholesale manner, it's not reasonable to ask why their doing it.

[BubbaZanetti]

Bush Sr. and his CIA pals trained them for terrorist techniques to counter the Soviets.
Ronald Reagan and the CIA helped put Saddam Hussain in power because he was a "stabilizing" influence in the middle east.

[Roscoe]

There are a surprising number of apologists for the terrorists posting on FR.

[piasa]

No. It's time they worry about why WE'RE angry. We've pandered to their feelings for the last several years. And this is what we get for it. Now let the terrorists worry about what they have wrought.

[BurkeanCyclist]

This isn't thinking. This is the same kind of reflexive, kneejerk anti-American crap we had to put up with from the friends of evil during the Cold War.

You and your traitorous leftie friends can go to Hell.

[BlueLancer]

It's obvious that there are a few cells that have to be targeted in Britain as well ... maybe we can have the British Army burn out this nest of vipers.

[NittanyLion]

The rest of the world seems all too happy to take American dollars, food and weapons. I guess in their minds it's a one-way street.

[TheOtherOne]

It is this record of unabashed national egotism and arrogance that drives anti-Americanism among swaths of the world's population, for whom there is little democracy in the current distribution of global wealth and power. If it turns out that Tuesday's attacks were the work of Osama bin Laden's supporters, the sense that the Americans are once again reaping a dragons' teeth harvest they themselves sowed will be overwhelming.

Yes, I think. I think you and this author are enemies of America. You are scum if you think for one second that the US or Americans deserved this.

[dighton]

Expletive deleted.

[LadyJD]

You better duck and run son!

Press accounts that question the orthodox view are not wanted today!

;^)

[CatoRenasci]

The left-wing scum who write for The Guardian can be expected to say things like this.

I have always thought (flame suit on) that the Palestinians had a legitimate beef with the Israelis over the settlements in Gaza and the West Bank and still believe that Israeli intransigence over removing those settlements are a major contributing factor to the failure of the various peace processes over the past 20-odd years.

That said, the world changed on Tuesday. The Palestinians rejoiced at the murder of between 10-30,000 absolutely innocent American citizens and foreigners here legally.

I have lost any sympathy I have ever had for the Palestinians' plight.

The ONLY American response that can work is to visit upon the terrorists who can be caught, and their families, complete destruction. Countries found involved should be dealt with peacefully: they should know and experience the same peace Carthage did after Scipio Africanus conquered the city: no one left alive to seek vengence, no two stones standing, salt in the earth.

[FITZ]

It doesn't matter anymore what we did wrong or right. We have been attacked on our own US soil. Things are very different today than they were last week. 20,000 innocent American citizens killed in their work places and in their own airspace. No more sympathy for the other side possible.

[Snuffington]

I know that this is a very emotional time for us and we are filled with unprecedented anger but we must not stop thinking.

That doesn't mean thinking like the socialists at the Guardian.

[LaBelleDameSansMerci]

Thank you for your courage in the face of the catty, effeminate responses you will inevitably get for posting this disturbing article. The rampant, ongoing feminization of our society is never more apparent than when we need cool, hard-eyed, rational--dare I say it: "manly" thinking.

If you are a man, I salute you for your manliness. I hope our leaders will show as much in the war to come. If you are a woman I'm proud to see a few of our sex are still as strong and smart as our anscetors were.

[Riley]

I no longer care why we are hated. I don't care about the Jihadist's problems, or their social conditions, or whatever injustice they perceive as justification for this.

Smoke 'em.
