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.

Tea party sound familiar?
Jesus man all of our tactics were terroristic in nature. We barely had money to buy weapons let alone uniforms. Take a history refresher pal the revolutionary war was the first war that terroristic tactics were used.

i'd suggest that YOU go take another history lesson, genius. terrorist tactics and geurilla tactics are two very different things. the colonists never attacked british civilians, to my knowledge. not in an organized fashion anyhow. and CERTAINLY not in the name of the united states.

people like you have posted all over this board. you're obviously an un-educated moron and have apparently deluded yourself into thinking you're intelligent.

until you have a frickin clue, keep your idiot mouth shut.

The Boston Tea Party was an act of defiance, not an act of terrorism.

Terrorism-the act of terrorizing.

Don't think dumping OUR tea into Boston Harbor because the English taxed said tea in order to further impose their authority over us was terrorizing anyone.

Would you care for another lesson, PAL?

Actually, no.

As far back as the written history of the world goes, there have been acts of babraismn during conflict, terroism for want of another word.

In the preexilic times of isreal/judah, if was common for to inflict viscious physical abuse on townships that were taken. Sometimes the amputationj of hands, the gouging of eye... sometimes the whiolesale slaughter of all the men left alive.

It was a common tactic when a walled city was besiged in medieval times, to use catapults to toss dead bodies over the wall, hoping that one would land in the water supply, thus shortening the seige.

Terrorism.... lets talk about the spanish inquisition.

teroism, what we define it as today, has a history that dates back to our very begining. Mankind is naturally an abohrent species. We take what we want through force.

Terrorism is nothing new to humans, certainly not a product that's only been around since the revolutionary war.

Guerilla tactics should not be confused with Terrorist tactics. The acts of the cowards who destroyed those lives were nowhere near what was done so long ago. This nation did not intend to invoke terror, it intended to free itself however possible. It chills my heart to hear AMERICANS saying things such as this. Wake up. These attacks weren't about freedom, they weren't about oppression or foreign policy. They were about instilling fear and terror in the hearts of innocents. They were the deliberate acts of terrorist madmen. To compare these people to patriots who would be free is an insult to all Americans, and it disgusts me that anyone would even venture to compare the two. I mourn your loss of pride, even more I mourn your loss as one I would call friend.
