I know we are getting political here, but it's an act of war on my ...our... country and... SCREW whoever did this. What do you think the US will, could, should do to retaliate on whoever did this?

I didn't post this in the other because this is a VERY serious matter.  I didn't want it accidently over looked since a lot of people are posting there.

[Martinus]

This is a dangerous topic, it can do nothing more than get people more worked up than they already are. Isn't it already depressing enough? You're talking about taking action without knowing the whys and whos. Speculation is not as good idea at this point!

[JBX-Phoenix]

No offense, but you have no idea how us Americans take this matter.  I for one am so pissed................... oh my God...Please help us......

 It's best to get all the facts before we go gunning for someone. It'll take days, if not weeks, before we know what happened here today.

And if you get down to it, it's most likely from a terrorist group, posssibly Osama bin Ladan. What more could we do to him? We can't even locate him, let alone prosecute him! But anyway, I agree with Maeglamor, you should wait until you have all the facts.

[KillMeNow]

it look slike there have already been retalitory strikes agasinst afhanistan - looks like crusie missiles which is consistnat with the threats of the states against he talaban should that guy do anythign against the states

[JBX-Phoenix]

They were NOT US missile attacks.  They have a civil war going on over there and maybe the other group found a good opportunity to attack the fuel or weapons depot.

Maeglamor not be be condescending but


Our mainland has never been successfully hit - the last time we had a foreign army on our mainland was 1812.


Our mainland, our MAINLAND was violated greviously, CIVILIAN targets were hit - we would still be outraged by not to this level if it was a military target.

I'm from Australia, but I even feel violated by this tragedy. Everyone's talking about it here at work. We can't get on with our work...

[Martinus]

Yeah I have no idea what that is like. I live in a country where bombings, terrorists and shootings are commonplace!!

My 'mainland' has been technically under seige for years. If you had seen the results of war point blank Kazan you would be hard pressed to speak with such bravado about it.

[Setekh]

Careful guys.

Let the dust settle a bit before you try and see through it, okay?

That's exactly what NATO and UN have been doing to Iraq for some years now. With the embargo and some bombing. Neat....no. Double standard.....yes.

perhaps you dont get it more people were killed in this alone than the whole gulf war - whiel we might have hit afew civilian targets they weren' the target we were amining for and we were very sorry for those civilian caustlties - these people are barbarians andanimals and dont diserve to be treated better than such they are worse than animals - no animal behaves like that - its unthinkable - and even if we find those responcible did anyone see the news? there are kids firing guns into the air in celebration - there is another wave ready to take over - the middle east should be sealed off completely let them starve and die of thirst - only then will the civilised world be safe - hell if i was bush i would be damn tempted to nuke the whole damn middle east

Thanks.  

Really, I know what you meant, but particularly in situations like this, generalization can be extremely dangerous.

I must just say. Goddamn you're stupid.. Do you know how many innocent people who has died because of the embargo. And the embargo was set up after the Gulf war. It's not 10000 it's not 100000! It more likely 500000 people, maybe more. And how many of those are innocent children, who can do nothing about Saddam Hussain.

Your attitude to this is no better than the terrorists who did the attack on the Pentagon and the WTC.

[KillMeNow]

the only reason those people ahve died is because of saddam - he is allowed to by humanitarian items but wont so the those people who have died after the embargo have died becasue of saddam not us - the point is we dont go out to attack civilians - and you should be careful of taking sides with the people who did this - the only people i can think of that would after a tragedy like jsut say ohhh well look at that double standards, would be the terrorists themselves
