I was stuck in traffic during my drive into work today. Over the road ahead
I could see the smoke from the towers, being about 20 miles East of
Manhattan. This is even more terrible than the bombing, one of the planes
was a commuter plane from Boston.
During my drive in I saw about three Army helicopters flying along the coast
toward the city, and on the road I was passed by the typical black suburbans
with flashing light kits. They are closing all the bridges and tunnels into
the city, and the three major airports have been closed. New York is in a
total panic.
We most do something....
May god help the families of the victims.

A 757 and a 767, both hijacked. It's unreal to think that I once stood
up on that roof which I have today seen come tumbling down,
unimaginable. A shame, a waste. My thoughts are with the people
fighting for their future.

No one knows yet, but bin laden (sp?) is the most likely suspect. He's
the Taliban-habored terrorist believed responsible for the Cole attack
in Yemen and other attacks against US military targets. He recently
made statements about upping the ante to include major civilian
attacks. He is one of the very few people in the world with the
logistical and monetary cpabilities of orchestrating this attack.
P.S. - The Taliban is largely funded by Iraq. If this is who is
responsible, I expect the USA to declare war on Afghanastan and Iraq.

What kind of war ? Nuke them or bomb them back to stoneage ? What

properly, but I just can't support war in any way.

It lets countries know that they can no longer harbor terrorists,
without also becoming responsible for the terrorist's actions. Simple
as that really.
>What kind of war ? Nuke them or bomb them back to stoneage ?
If it was my choice I would restrain myself and just bomb them back to
the stoneage. But then I'm a peacable man by nature.
This is awful, absolutely awful.

IF and only IF it can be proved that it's him, I hope they don't stop too
soon, like they did last time with Irak....

Erm. Right. General idea.
We have a big military. We can kill at will.
Small groups wanting to not just give in need to use what is
available. On a different technological level, we did so at the start of
the revolutionary war.
Right? Not a chance in hell. But neither is military actions
against civilians.

I would park a squadron of Nukefilled B-52's just outside of Afganistan.
They would have 24 hours to deliver BinLadin. The WORLD is probably very

Millions? Not even CLOSE. Probably about 70,000 in one city, and 100,000 in
the other. I can't remember if Hiroshima or Nagasaki was the larger of the
two.
Besides, thousands of innocent civilians died this morning...

well, when you see the way those sebrs bastards made folls of EVERYBODY for
years (Karadzic and mladic are still at large) the idea of "brute force"
seems sometimes the best.
Negociations and discussions are always the best solution, but when the
other doesn't WANT to negociate or even talk, strength is the best issue.
Now america has known what REAL war is, i mean a war at home like Europe has
known twice in the 20th century, not making war abroad in Europe, in Korea,
Vietnam or Irak...

Isn't that the way the former Soviet Union would have responded? Notice there
weren't many terrorist attacks against them. Maybe they had it right...

Hmm eldred...
Of course what happened to the US is REALLY terrible, but you can't really
compare in any terms,
170,000 dead vs 7,000
Two cities GONE vs a small (in size) part of one
Diseases spreading for YEARS (skin cancer and so on...)
Then you can say that there was an OFFICIAL war betwen Japan and the USA and
there was not one between Bin Laden and the USA, but please don't compare
things that are not really comparable...
This being said I really hope you finish the job this time, not like with
Saddam in 91...get the fucker and kill him.

The job WAS finnished in '91. It was never the coalitions intent to remove
Saddam from power. It was to free Kuwait and that was done.

I was in no way equating the amount of damage or lives lost.

bin Ladin feels there is a war between the USA and him. He has declared it
several times.
