In memory of September 11th
A tribute
Sunday, September 10, 2006 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News
Five years ago on September 11, 2001, 19 men boarded four planes in the United States with the intention of hijacking them and crashing them into important buildings with the hope of killing as many people as possible.
Three of those planes made it to their targets killing over 3,000 people. The fourth one crashed after passengers attempted to retake the plane after learning the fate of the other three planes.
For Americans, September 11th marked a major turning point for how the country viewed the world. For people outside the United States, the choices and response to September 11th has stirred a great deal of debate. Even within the United States, there is a great deal of disagreement over how best to continue to carry out the response to the terrorist attacks and the growing movement of violent Islamic radicalism.
The people who attacked the United States were part of a terrorist organization called Al Qaeda. A radical Islamic group dedicated to restoring the historic caliphate that once existed from Spain to the far east, Al Qaeda considered the United States as an obstacle to their goals of turning "moderate" Muslim states such as Saudi Arabia and Egypt into fundamentalist Islamic Republics modeled after then Taliban-ruled Afghanistan. Their belief was that if the US presence in the middle east as well as its support of countries such as Saudi Arabia and Israel could be removed that they moved one step closer to their goal. They believed, wrongly, that the US response would be to withdraw its presence from the middle east just as it had done so in Somalia in the mid 1990s.
On this day, we at this site give our thoughts to the families of the men and women who died on that day. And we support the valiant men and women in the armed forces from the United States and other countries who are working to put an end to organizations and movements that support the indiscriminate wholesale annihilation of innocents.
We hope the world does not forget 9/11. We certainly will not.

| People use your own common sense |
There's only really one thing to say about 'common sense'...it's clearly rarer than rockinghorse poo.
It obviously doesn't matter that 3000+ people died in horrific circumstances....only that armchair theorists can have their day in the sun blaming all and sundry.
Tell you what, next trip to the moon...catch a lift and check out the non-existent footprints there-on. On your way, for some light reading might I suggest 'The DaVinci Code'.
Only one request....make it a one-way trip...so that those with their sane, collective feet on planet Earth can henceforth have something to look up and smile about....

I also feel very sad about the 52,000+ victims of the 'war on terror' America has unleashed on the world.

I especially liked the 4th point presented by PICHIN. Yes… it's a Jewish insurance fraud. You cracked the case, genius.
At least you didn't give the military plain crash into the Empire States building 50 years ago as an example... that would've probably signed your commitment papers.

Turns out, we need grand theories to make sense of grand events, or the world just seems too random
Read the rest. You unstable anger mongers might just learn just how you have been played.

It's nice to see someone else remembering; I was the only one in my plant who wore anything in remembrance (a flag t-shirt. I only saw one other person all day long with a similar shirt). Let's not ever allow this day, nor its implications, to be forgotten.

True, but this in turn leads me to wonder about the running death toll of Fundamentalist Islam's 30+ year war on Western nations and culture.

| MONEY! Like P said, do your research! I hate to do this on this day, but everyone needs to know that those people died because of our government! |

| the UNPLUGGED! Those who refuse to accept what the news, and others types of media seems to give us! |
I think the word "refuse" says it all. Not those who objectively look at the information in total. Just those who would rather believe some horses asses who are trying to get their 15 minutes by claiming the absurd.

Every "bullet"...every self-serving, "Bush is a liar" bullet...fired by the Bitter Bettys and the Grima Worm-Tongues of the left, in defense of their narrow and short-sighted political agendas, is a bullet fired at American troops and American ideologies. It is a firefight in defense of Islamic rape laws and the deliberate murder of innocent women and children....ad nauseum.
It is unfriendly fire coming from our rear. And the left has chosen its allies.
And I will say it, if no one else will...it is sedition at the very least and treason at the worst.

Also isnt it a coincidence that airport security goes high alert just after something bad? The security should always be high....

| Havent any of you read the studies about how badly the building was made? |
Apparently you had someone write your comment as it is plain to see that you can't read. Stupidity, ignorance and disrespect reigns. Do you think discussing, solving, or knowing about all these accusations, statements and or facts will bring one ounce of comfort to the bereaved?
Comforting, remebrance and love is the theme of this thread. Oh, that's right, you either can't read or can't comprehend what you do read.

But as soon as we thought everything was over, there came yet another event which moved the very foundations of the world as we know it. The attacks on the WTCs was something that should never have happened.
And even though I am a Muslim and even though I (MIGHT) have every reason to believe in the OTHER side of the Picture (the side which makes US the Muslims the good guys and Bush as the Devil) I still say it should have never happened. To be honest I dont know who did it (Al-Qaeda or US Gov.) or why (To kill innocent people or to establish control over the Middle East) did they do it but I just know this much ....... on the Day of Judgement they will get waht they deserve cuz a crime against Humanity is something NO religion or rule supports. Besides God is All Mighty, in my heart I KNOW that all the people who lost their lives in 9/11 WILL go to Heaven cuz thats what my religion tells me that when a person is killed without a reason, that person goes to Heaven and this is totally the opposite for the on who kills them.
Lets all ake a moment of our time and pray for all those who lost and those who still loose their lives throughout the world in wars and in terrorist attacks that God may give them space among the Great Heavens and may God give patience to those who lost their Loved ones and may God show his Wrath to those who are responsible for these calamities.
MAY GOD BLESS US **ALL**
