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.

Yes, I have to agree with the other poster to respond here you're views are absolutely idealistic and your utopia will sadly and unfortunately never exist. However I am not so idealistic as to believe that we can all get along. There is an element in this world that is bent on the destruction of the people of United States and all that it stands for. Obviously, everyone that lives in this country doesn't agree with ALL of the foreign policy that this country maintains. Unfortunalty many extremist Muslims do not care for us, and we have all been declared the infedel. As sad as this is, and while many of us would like to believe that we can work out problems like this through negotiations, we can not. To me, the ultimate problem that leaves us Americans as targets has been left to us by our fathers before us, is the Israeli-Palestinian problem. I have to admit for many years I have been angry at the government of Israel for what they are doing in the occupations of Palestine. I am also angry for the unconditional US support of Israel, considering the situation. But while I sympathize with the Palestinian problems and their struggle for soveriegnty, it is hard, for me, to sympathize any more for a people celebrating in the street at the death of thousands of Americans. I have never experienced joy once in my life over the death of so many people; not in war, acts of nature, or terrorism. As such I can not understand such an action of celebration and I will never sympathize with the palastinians or their allies again. While their leaders can claim that these celebrators are a minority, I can tell you first hand I have never seen any American celebrating in the streets when Palestinian children die from Israeli soldier bullets, and the day I do I will go punch one in the face. I tend to think the Palestinian government was also celebrating and merely caught embarrassed by men, women, and children in the street overjoyed that so many innocent people had died horribly. I wish nothing but death for all those that committed these acts and their allies as well. We obviously can not all get along, and this terrorist act only confirms this. We have no choice but confront our agreessors face to face. If they want kill us as Americans we have no choice but to kill them first. This is war and we know it, we only wait to find the cowards behind this. I look forward to the day that they and all their children and their children's children are gone from the earth for that is what they would do to us.
