This was posted as a thread hours after the attack, but it was pulled probably because FR was clogged and vanities were not welcome. But seeing how everyone and his nuke-slinging brother are now posting vanities, I thought I would repost this. We need to focus our rage on something more democratic than just killing those responsible, we need to increase our focus on more than just the immediate. Getting revenge on these terrorists is not enough, and it won't solve the problem, which is that a large number of Muslim countries in the world support this Jihad against us. ...

EYES RIGHT: A Veteran's View By Lonnie Shoultz © 2001 Americans Murdered at Work… http://www.iht.com/articles/32272.html In aftermath, Celebrations in Palestinian Camps Barry James International Herald Tribune Wednesday, September 12, 2001 http://asia.dailynews.yahoo.com/headlines/world/afp/article.html?=asia/headlines/010912/world/afp/_Bullseye___say_Egyptians_as_they_celebrate_anti-US_attacks.html "Bulls eye," say Egyptians as they celebrate anti-US attacks Yes, I've seen both of the headlines above and many more. The joy of the Palestinians at our national tragedy should not drive a wrong-headed investigation and decision-making process.

Members of New York's Bravest pause to rest, grieve and pray for their missing fellow firefighters. Rescue workers remove debris as they search for survivors and bodies. Construction workers and emergency crews have the grim task of sifting through rubble for bodies. A day after the suicide plane crashes brought down the World Trade Center towers, all that remains is a chunk of facade.

A battered fire engine caught in the collapse ...

TEHRAN, Sept 13 (AFP) - Reports that Afghan opposition chief Ahmad Shah Masood is still alive following a suicide bomb attack are false, a former Afghan warlord was quoted as saying Thursday. "Masood is indeed dead but his associates and comrades are giving false accounts of his physical state in order to keep up the spirits of the Northern Alliance fighters", Gulbuddin Hekmatyar told the English-language daily Iran News. But he gave no firm evidence apart from saying it was impossible for Masood to have survived Sunday's blast, believed to have been caused by a booby-trapped camera carried by ...

N E W Y O R K, Sept. 12 — Investigators are trying to reconstruct what happened to United Airlines Flight 93, which crashed in western Pennsylvania — the only one of the four planes hijacked on Tuesday that was not steered into a famous, densely inhabited building. Phone calls from passengers, made in the frantic minutes after the plane was hijacked, yield scant but potentially revealing clues about a possible on-board struggle that may have led to the crash — but prevented hijackers from taking the controls. And since Flight 93, unlike the other three planes that were hijacked, ...

N E W Y O R K, Sept. 12 — Thomas Burnett phoned his wife from hijacked United Airlines Flight 93, and said he was going to die, but he wasn't going quietly. "There's three of us who are going to do something about it," he reportedly told Deena Burnett. Minutes later, the plane crashed, 80 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, just after 10 a.m. ET. The aircraft had been scheduled to fly from Newark, N.J. to San Francisco. Deena Burnett says her husband told her three men had taken control of the plane, and that the hijackers had fatally ...

A terrorist plot similar to this week's attack in New York and Washington was first uncovered in Manila in 1995, Philippine police said today. The statement came amid a warning by the senate's vice chair for national defence that Saudi dissident Osama bin Laden, the prime suspect in Tuesday's attacks in the US, could try to slip into the southern Philippines where he maintains contacts with Muslim separatist rebels. Chief Superintendent Avelino Razon said a plot called "Project Bojinka" was uncovered by Philippine police in 1995 after arresting terrorist Abdul Hakim Murad in a Manila apartment where he was ...

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12, 2001 AP Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle and House Speaker Dennis Hastert on Capitol steps Tuesday night. (CBS) Congress reconvened Wednesday in a reopened and fortified U.S. Capitol, vowing to retaliate against the worst attack ever on American soil. One by one, lawmakers stood in the Senate and House of Representatives to declare the United States will do whatever it takes to identify and punish those responsible, as well as determine why U.S. security was breached and how intelligence-gathering agencies can be strengthened. "These attacks were an assault on our people and our freedom," declared Senate ...

Sept. 12 — Advanced technologies and more sophisticated methods of organization have made would-be international terrorists more difficult for the U.S. government to identify and stop, experts say. And for such reasons, they say, U.S. government agencies apparently failed to detect and prevent Tuesday's terror attacks that killed thousands of people and destroyed four airliners, the World Trade Center and part of the Pentagon. "One recalls that the modern intelligence community was created after Pearl Harbor precisely in order to prevent such an attack in the future, and today, of course, it was not up to the task," says ...

AMERICANS WILL rebound stronger than before. That must be the message we send to terrorists; we hope our military does so in the coming days. But perhaps the most effective way civilians can demonstrate this resolve to the entire world, in a language everyone will understand, is by rebuilding the twin towers of the World Trade Center. Some might take offense to this exhortation. It may seem premature in this climate of death. But we think it is key to the psychological health of our nation. While rescue efforts are still under way, it is not the time to ...

In 1941 the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, killing some 2500 Americans and provoking our nation to join the allied forces. Together, we would eventually kill over nine million Germans Italians and Japanese. America did not start World War II, but we finished it. In 2001, Islamic Fundimentalists attacked New York, Washington DC, possibly killing ten times as many Americans. We know who our enemies are. They are Islamic Fundimentalists and the states that support their terrorism against the United States and the West. Those states are Lybia, Sudan, Syria, Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan. It is time for us to go ...
