They can't see why they are hated

If nothing else, I give you credit for the guts to post this article here. We do indeed need to examine the way we treat other countries, and how that treatment permits us to pursue our relatively carefree lifestyles (although that has surely ended). Now may not be the time for this, though. No matter what our flaws, right now we need to be unified and we need to SEVERELY PUNISH whoever did this.

I agree. I lived in Germany for almost four years and the America-haters are a very small minority.

And almost always either the young idiots, or the Neo-nazis.

[getoffmylawn]

I agree, but if my posting of this article prevents the assault on even one innocent Muslim in this country (but I doubt it will) it will be worth it.

Can you believe an American of Serbian heritage just posted that? Sheesh... I thought we were supposed to be the radical Muslim haters.

Please, monkeybrains, tell me what would you do about anything whatsoever.You apparently just like to whine and complain and nurse your litlle Anti -Semitisms and all your other little Anti's. So , enlighten us, jerkoff. Lead us toward the Perfect World.

See #257. Unlike you, I do actually make points not just insults. Your disgusting language is only exceeded by your pathetic ursurpation of the term nonstatist.

[Marduk]

It's obvious people here are feeling and not thinking. I hear people calling for invasions of Afghanistan and for killing 1,000 Mulsims for every American. They are obviously not thinking what that would entail.

I'm sure glad Bush and not Clinton is the President. If Clinton were president he would have blamed Republicans for the bombing and he would have already bombed some innocent civilians in some Islamic country.

Pacifism is suicide.

[getoffmylawn]

Apparently so is hegemony.

If you haven't the stomach for the coming war, then stand aside and let America get on with what's necessary.

A great reply on a sadly polluted thread.

Let's see now, getoffmylawn added to the list of seditious apologists for terrorists. Welcome comrade of AppyPappy, stuartrc, and DarthReagan.

When confronted with wild dogs and savages, the gelded socialist sociologists teach that it is best to put up a big fence, hide your belongings, cover your eyes, and try to understand them.

Not anymore. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.

The islamic nations must go the way of Troy, Carthage, and Azteca.

[getoffmylawn]

No one will condemn America for their retribution when meted out. BUT, let America punish the guilty and then analyse their policies and what factors led to this. IT IS NOT WEAKNESS to reexamine onself from a position of strength.

How true.

Let's see now, getoffmylawn added to the list of seditious apologists for terrorists.

I'm sorry, but you obviously have me mistaken for the United States of America and its KLA terrorist allies.

Good plan. Are you suggesting selling the people into slavery too (as happened to these countries)? Or simply gassing them? Maybe a good time to pick up some stock in HotPoint.

[MrBambaLaMamba]

Whatever it takes to remove the threat.

[MrBambaLaMamba]

Your comments are understandable and are the result of 50 years of leadership and indoctrination by the gelded socialist sociologists.

Do not get upset, but resistance is futile and you will be assimilated.
The touchy feely 'everyone's opinion and belief is OK' world has ended and we will have to deal with it.

[MrBambaLaMamba]

Another added to the list of seditious apologists for terrorism.

Another added to the list of seditious apologists for terrorism.

Gee, thanks. You just made my day. I still want to know. Should I build slave ships? Or ovens?

Oh, I have another idea. How about we have a two for one sale? Two Moslems for each victim in the WTC disaster. Maybe we could sell hunting licenses and make a profit that way. Then we could make, say, 40,000 martyrs and 100,000 kids just itching for revenge. When one of them finally does do the dirty deed, we could start all over. What fun.

If this is the kind of garbage you read, it's obvious that you are too much of an idiot to worry about thinking about anything. Do you ask the reasons why Son of Sam murdered people? No, you off the f*&%&r. End of story. Radical Islam is the Son of Sam of social movements. The people who are part of this religion, or supporter of it, are useful only as fertilizer for next year's crops.
