No I didn't. Those were your words, not mine. I merely responded...a bit sarcastically, I'll admit. Perhaps sarcasm does not register at a time such as this. But let me be clear...I am advocating a strong and unequivocal response against the perpetrators, once identified. I am not advocating, random, sweeping violence. Your statement about killing all the Arabs and Chinese is a straw man argument.
As for the nonsense about taking cookies to bin Laben and Saddam, just remember who armed them both. Yup, the dear old US of A. Reagan, as I recall.
The first good point you've made on this thread. But follow this logic: "We made past mistakes in arming what turned out to be terrorists. Now they blew up our buildings and killed thousands of innocent people, but because we screwed up in the past, we can't retalliate now."
That simply doesn't make sense. What, specifically, is your preferred response to the attack?
Three-fold.
1) Obviously the people who did this need to be brought to justice. And they will be. There's no doubt about that.
2) Let people in planes, especially the crew, arm themselves. That a 757 can be taken over by three men with razor blades is a huge indictment of the so-called security arrangements in airports.
3) STOP GETTING MIXED UP IN FOREIGN WARS. Start by acknowledging that the Isrealis need to protect themselves. If they want to occupy Palestine, let them take the consequences.
