Horrifying Terrorist Attacks on the U.S.

This is not game news, but is more important. I am putting this up here because many people are trying to figure out what is going on and this way we can share what we know. Here's what I know so far: - At about 8:45 a plane crashed into one of the World Trade Center towers. 14 minutes later, andther plane crashed into the second tower. - Another plane crashed into the Pentagon soon after that. - A bomb went off at the State Department. - Both World Trade Center Towers have now completely collapsed, presumably killing everyone who was unable to evacuate in time, and also the firemen and police who were at the towers trying to help people evacuate. - Another plane has gone down somewhere in Western Pennsylvania. Possibly just a coincidence or possibly an attempt to hyjack it to another target. Words cannot express the horror.

A few simple ideas ( when i type 'you' , if you feel identified .. thats you , im not talking about a whole community , even less a country )

- Some people posting here talk about justice and vengeace ( genocide and murdering , aka ) , that is very similar to smash a plane into a building . you think you could shoot a lil 4 years afghanian girl when she is crying cos you formerly killed her mother ? ( that happens in most of wars , Korea and Vietnam were good explamples of cruetly with civilian population )When 'you' support a war declaration , you doing that . when a bomb strikes a city , no disscrimitation is made.

- Some others talk about RE-building the country into a democracy , pftft ... like in southamerica ? 'you' mean to put a kind of puppet to control from 'your' CIA headquarters ? Or you would let the existing 'president' but seizin the country ? ( like 'you' did in the Gulf war, Sadam is still on the power , and he is in the power cos he got USA support vs Iran ... did 'you' remember that ? )

- Btw , whats a country ? Whats a state ? Whats a region ? Whats a city or a town ? whats a person ? Are all the persons the same ?

- Some people even talk about using nuclear warheads to 'clear' the area . I think you never seen what a standard bomb does , even less what an actual nuclear weapon could do... Hiroshima Bomb was a joke compared what a peacemaker or any similar nuclear missiles 'you' got.

- Some people talk about 'facts' . Whats a fact ? Is it what you hear / watch from TV ? Do you think 'facts' exist ? Justice is an utopy , could not be reached by mere humans , we should just try at least not to forget that... and try to avoid innocents to pay for the guilt of few ones ( instead of what Herodian did to try to prevent Jesus to grow into a man , slay all childs.. think not even one of them was guilty )

- Some people ( thanks god and thanks to 'you' all ) at least think a bit , instead of just charging into battle.

- And a last gift for your minds , lets hope WHEN something similar happens in any other country in the world ( China massive executions , Russia invading Tchetchenia , Etnical purges in Africa - well, africa doesnt need any more war at all, they all got enought chaos at this very moment ... its just ignored thou - , Natural or Unnatural dissasters in South America , etc , etc , long etc ) 'you' all react same way. Because justice is the same for all of us , and when it happens OUT of 'your' country it doesnt happen out the world you live.

You say that America hasn't come to the defense of other nations. You say that we have remained isolated and removed when horrible incidents occur abroad. Let me shed some light.
1) After the devastation of WWII, America borrowed billions to Japan, Italy, France, Russia, Germany and the UK. We forgave debts to these countries. We were pushed, we pushed back...people were hurt, and we have done quite a bit to try and rectify the situation.
2) What about attempting to negotiate peace in the Middle East and Northern Ireland?
3) What about helping to support a struggling democratic economy in Russia?
4) What about sending humanitarian aid to war ravaged countries in Africa? Or throwing money and research at the AIDS epedemic in Africa?
5) What about putting our people's lives in danger to try and stop the genocide in Bosnia?
6) Have we already forgotten Kuwait? Oh yeah, it was about oil, but we ended up liberating a country in the deal.
Now look what happens when we are up against a tough time. WTC bombing in 1993, barely any support from the world community. NATO peacekeeping efforts...85% American efforts, Kobar Towers bombing in Saudi...nothing, USS Cole bombing....nothing, Oklahoma City bombing...nothing. An F6 tornado DESTROYS my community along with one hundred others...displaces thousands and costs billions in damage...NO ONE OFFERS HUMANITARIAN AID. An earthquake levels San Francisco..still nothing.
We are proud, it is true. There are many, many countries in which people can and should be proud. My Austrian brother for one. I have been to Austria..it is a beautiful and wondorous place. Our freedom is not more important or better than theirs.
What needs to be done is our allies have got to step to the plate and say "enough is enough." We must join together to stop terrorism..in all it's forms. Whether on the Gaza strip, or a bomb in the tubes in London.
Quite simply, America has put its nose in unwanted places before. But NOBODY and I mean NOBODY DESERVES this sort of tragedy! The Irish people don't deserve it, the Jewish people, the Saudi's, the Palestinians, the Afghans, the Kurds, the Chinese, the Canadians, the Americans...none of them deserve to die innocently because of a holy war. This needs to stop!
War is hell. There are rules of engagement..the only problem is, the U.S and her allies are the only ones who will play by them anymore...What Geneva Convention?

I'm done.

Flaming you, insulting you, the amount of time it took to read your post.....all would be and are a waste of time.
Every country has done something they are ashamed of and wish they could change. Even the country you come from. Those things can't be changed, so the country is forced to live with what they have done, and taught thier children it was wrong.
Every person has done something they are ashamed of and wish they could change. Even me. I'm forced to live with things I wish I had never done and will teach my children it was wrong.

The only hope that there is for you is that you have done something you are ashamed of and wish you could change.I hope that thing you wish you could change was your post.
If you aren't ashamed of it, don't let it trouble you much (altho I'm sure you won't).
I personally will take the time to be ashamed of you for you.

We will take the time to teach your children it was wrong.
