    deep.

    part of me wants to agree with ryo ohki, but then... remember how CNN and other news stations spammed us on 9-12 (day after 9-11) with various m.eastern rejoicing videos?

    i just don't know what to think, besides, damn, that's a lot of deaths. depressothon.

    be careful what you wish for or TheShrub will step in and steal your oil and bring impoverished "freedom" to the iranians. what exactly is freedom under a foreign country's martial law?

    Well if you're religious, pray. If you're not, just hope. You can't really prevent this kind of thing, but you can hope that it won't happen again.

    Yeah I remember that, but I question just what percentage of the population that was. I might as well hate all Americans because I saw footage of Americans rejoicing when Iraq was invaded. No-one has done a survey of the various Middle Eastern countries and determined how many people actually thought S-11 was a good thing. I think that was jump to conclusions about the Arabic people a little too easily.

    Sure get help, from people that you don't hate. And if we helped, they probably wouldn't care.

    Since when did spending 80 billion dollers to rebuild Iraq equate to "stealing" <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Err, are you trying to perhaps say that it was Iran behind S-11? I'd love to see the logic behind that, seeing as the S-11 hijackers were Saudi Arabian and Osama has no ties to the Iranian government.

    What are you trying to tell me Terrorism isn't comeing from the middle east?

    The Ayatolla Regime is one of the main causes of terrorism today. Not to mention that fool Egyptian Arafat.

    Osama don't have ties to alot of middle eastern governments (like they are being cooperative). He's a terrorist with alot of influential power but Mullahs who control the government are happy to frount cash and arms to Osama.

    It won't, so don't. I never saw how it'd help either.

    For the first time in a long while, I'm earnestly dissapointed by this community. Ask yourself how you would've reacted to such a thread if the disaster had taken place in Alabama. Or Bavaria. Or Scotland.
