It's TIME.

I've never been a proponant (spelling?) of war or major military attacks but this has now changed, whether these COWARDS admit to this or not, WE WILL FIND THEM AND PAYBACK WILL BE DIFFERENT THIS TIME.

[Goc]

I find this to be unbelievable! Both WTC towers collapsed?!??
To all you Americans: Hope you find who planned it, and incinerate, destroy, obliterate whoever or whatever is responsible for this incredible attack.

[The PIT]

Awful news I hope the bastards who did this will rot very painfully in hell. To anyone who has lost anyone my deapest symphanies.

OMFG.

I´m perplexed. I couldn´t believe what I saw on the news.

Edit: I´m editing this post because I just notice that I misplaced the icon expression. Damn, I couldn´t have chosen a worse one. Sorry to all the folks who noticed.

Anyone heard the rumor that say's that 3 planes left from boston airport and 2 of theses crashed in the World Trade Centers... the last one according to the rumor is headed toward the pentagon.... and the army sent interceptors looking for that plane that they still have'nt found and their mission is to take it down.

Really tragic what happened in NYC, but to be totally unbiased it's was really only a matter of time before US foreign policy fiascos have come back home to sow what they reaped...the implications of US policy in always taking Israels's side in the 25yrs middle east conflict (US recent walk out of Durban conference on israli racism), the US war (undeclared) on Yugoslavia where 1000s of innocent civilians got killed, the deliberate blindness in almost 1 million Africans died in the hutu/tutsi genocide, it goes on and on.

Once again I am sorry for what happened to the folks in NYC, but us americans need to wake up and see that we can't be ignorant that our actions have devastating effects in other countries and those people are not very pleased with us.

ps...please remeber that this is a forum for discussion nothing personal.

bullshit!

Name the last time we flew a plane into innocent civilians, come on!

Incase you can't get to CNN's site:

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Terrorists struck the United States Tuesday morning in harrowing, widespread attacks that included at least three commercial jet crashes into significant buildings.

• In the first attack, a plane smashed into the north tower of the World Trade Center in Manhattan shortly before 9 a.m., followed by another plane into the second tower about 20 minutes later. Both towers later collapsed. Sources told CNN that one of the planes was an American Airlines Boeing 767 that had been hijacked after take-off from Boston.

• About an hour later, a plane crashed into the Pentagon in Washington, part of which later collapsed.

• Sources say a second plane was heading toward the Pentagon; F-16 jets were in the air monitoring it.

• The Pentagon, the White House, the State Department, the Justice Department, the Capitol, the CIA and all other government buildings in Washington evacuated.

• In the first ever national ground stop of aircraft, all flights nationwide have been stopped at their departure airports.

• All international flights were diverted to Canada.

• Israel has evacuated all its missions around the world.

• President Bush cancelled an appearance in Florida to return to Washington, calling the crashes "apparent terrorist attacks" and "a national tragedy."

• In Chicago, the Sears Tower was evacuated; United Nations in New York evacuated.

• The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta was evacuated.

• The New York Port Authority said it had closed all bridges and tunnels into the city.

• New York's Bellevue Hospital was designated command central for handling the catastrophe. Several hospitals have already reported receiving victims with burns and head injuries.

• Large plane crashed 80 miles south of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, but it was unknown if this crash was connected to terrorist attacks.

• U.S. stock markets were closed after the New York attacks.

this just shows why USA has to take leadership position i.e. mideast, we can not sit back and let them destroy themselves, we are involved whether we like it or not, can not be isolationist globally


ps...it is important to talk about this stuff rationally without anger; if not we all might as well grab a big stick and beat each other up.
