How sadening to see such bombings to happen to my country. However, I frown on what people are doing in this world.
The world is suffering at the loss of all the innocent people. But, I show anger as the people of Pakistan rejoice and celebrate in the bombings and do nothing but laugh. How heartless can such people be. Innocent people lost their lives because of somebody's cowardess act to try and attack America.
This was the worst damage done to America since Pearl Harbor. But was it not Japan that bombed us deliberatly then stated "We have only woken up the giant from its lair".
It seems as an intentional attack on the United States ... planned for September 11, 2001. 9.11.01 ... 911.
What would happen if this happened anywhere else in the world? What if Europe was attack by terroism. How dare some people laugh at a country at the loss of 10's of thousands of INNOCENT lives.
3 weeks ago a recording was made by the Pakistan terroist "Something monumental will happend to the United States"...and now when it happens, he denys "any involvement and I blame the US Policy". I blame your god damn policy. I blame YOUR gods. I blame YOU and YOUR country. I blame the WORLD. I blame every god damn person for their hate with each other. What does it take for everyone to realize this gets us nowhere. Does it take something like the movie "Armageddon"?!
In a day of mourning around the world ... only a few countries stand out and laugh. I pray-thee that nothing "bad" happens to these countries soon, because I'm sure they just "Woke up the giant that sleeps".

what are these people thinking. people that are denying any involvement, btu blaming us policies. thats is the biggest bunch of crap i've ever heard. when was the last time a us civillian went over to the middle east adn started trying to resolve their problems. people cheering in the streets, having a party because thousands of people in the us have died? i wonder how they would feel if he just nuked them. its not as if we couldn't wipe them off the map. i do think nukes aren't the solution, only retaliation against who did this.
tragic event. now the american people know what those countries who are currently at a state war feel like having bombs dropped on their heads every damn night.
it's time to wake up and smell the fumes. no one's safe. It's amazing how easily they managed to bring down two of the worlds tallest buildings in less than 20 minutes in a country that assumed it was safe from this sort of thing.
you happen to think its funny kazuya that this happened to us. its not. its not funny that thousands of innocent lives have died by such a cowardly act.
i view it as the person behind this (and well all are somewhat sure of who it MIGHT be) should NOT be held for trial, but in fact, shot.
i dont care what country people do this at. you go to middle east, people are in a state of civil war, just as america was over 100 years ago. but, how often do you see terroism in europe. and when it does happen, people feel it across the world.
but you happen to think its a "payback" or its funny that two of the highest buildings were taken down along with thousands of people in them?
rkenshin... it's funny how kazuya does have a great point... Being american, by definition includes a certain attitude that the president and the pentagon and the UN will protect us from anything. Well.. here's a wake up call... the WTC towers fell over. Ok.. a lot of people lost their lives in that accident, but I don't see a comparison to the number of people who've died in the middle east since foreign intervention. There're acts of terrorism all across the world every month... acts that effect everyone across the world.. but as soon as something happens here, we actually hear about it... we think it's so horrible and we start dealing out punishment to everyone we think MIGHT have done it... You remember the IRA bombing buildings, subways and anything they could think of, in london? I bet not.. because that was in Britain... Do you even know about the strife in Kashmir over indian/Paki land? I bet not... if you think you're so right about us not being wrong or impartial to anything else... you're wrong. America was at war 100 years ago, right.. but that was over SLAVERY...
Civil Wars are over different things. America had its civil war for its reason. Middle East is having their civil war for their reasons. Russia had their civil war for their reason. Everyone ... every country has their own reason.
And actually, I do know of ALL those things you talk about.
My POINT is "Mr. SelfReichous" that the human race is sick that it does nothing but hate and destroy each other. And, if you have noticed, the middle east is the ONLY area of countries laughing. Why? Because they harbor the most terrorism.
I view it sick that people can be like that ... that "haha ha....America was attacked and lots of people died...hahaha".
The WTC buildings didnt harbor JUST Americans. They held over 50,000 American AND International People. What does that mean when your mother from Britain died in this wreck? What does it mean when somebodys family from France died in that building. They are international buildings ... therefore it is an International Crisis. As you have seen on the news, every country around the world is showing their support and effort in this tragedy.
I hope the bring those people to justice. And I hope they hold the ones who did this WITHOUT trial.
But, I'm sure the next thing you'll tell me is that the American Revolution ... but the "Insurrection of the Colonys" ... as so Britain states.
I'm not disagreeing to say that America is vulnerable. Who says it isn't. Politics say America has the most powerful military in the world .. and it does ... doesn't mean its the safest place.
NOT ONE country is. The world is NOT a safe place to live. I'd rather live on the moon by myself than live on this planet.
But like my point is ... how many deaths DOES it take????
I do believe American showed is mourning when Britain had its attacks, if I do recall when I look at news files ....
But like I said, my point is ... its not too funny to watch others laugh at a country that has just lost 10's of thousands innocent lives ...
oh..and i'm sure people in other countries never heard of the Oklahoma City Bombing, or the shootout in the school ... or what about the '93 bombing of the WTC ... i mean ... we could argue about this forever.
ok i just read some of your reply and you're the one who's starting to make me sick 'cause you obviously don't seem to understand the situtation.
There's a REASON why most terrorists activities happen in the US. I'm sure most of you know WHY so I'm not even gonna bother explaining it.
I'm not saying the americans deserved it and i'm definitely not laughing or finding this "funny" as you mentioned. It IS funny however how people with anger in their minds misunderstand others who share a different opinion.
my god, kazuya, how can you be so confrontational at a time like this? what do you feel you have to prove? and i never got the impression from any of the above posts that anyone thinks this situation is 'funny'.
People find it hard to comprehend something they dont think will ever be presented to them. Especially in this manner. I'm a Bosnian. I'm familiar with the feelings and thoughts the people in DC and NY went through, as opposed to just watching war-zone areas on tv while eating dinner and comparing them to hollywood blockbusters. Sarajevo is where I'm from and what happened in the course of few hours last nite, happened to my city in course of 4 years. Ofcourse not to that extent at one time. Although if I just happened to be brought up in a different place like you guys I would probably be acting in the same manner. Have a think about what KAZUYA said, because he is right.
Just because what you didn't say in your message doesn't mean an intention. Although you did not state "funny", the intention given off by the way the message was written felt like it. I apologize if I recieved that wrong.
But, my main point was, it isn't a laughable situation when innocent people are dying and people are saying "Well, its about time America had this".
NOBODY ... not ONE COUNTRY should experience this ... EVER. It goes to show the hate and anger in the human race and how inferior we are ... by fighting amoungst ourselves (much like on this post).
I think the British Prime Minister covered everything being argued in here.....

"This is not just an attack on America, but on the World as a whole. It is an attack on the democracy of the World and it is an International threat." (exact words vary)
This is a time of mourning, and anger always follows quite quickly. Although I know it isn't easy, let's TRY to be reasonable. All Americans are not good and all Arabs are not evil.
This is the first time I've ever posted anything on the net... and I am lost for words. There are so many things I want to say but I dont know where to start or how to put it the way i feel. Even though Im an Australian living in Sydney my life was changed by what I whitnessed on Sept 11
I cant express how I fell about what was lost on that day. I know that in this time of mourning there are mixed emmotions between all of us. Not only do I fell a deep sadness for those who perished, but for those of us who live on. The human race......... People......... You and Me!
Our way of thinking and acting has to change, and if this sounds wrong to people Im sorry, you probablly just mis interpritated my meaning, but what happened to us was a wakeup call that not everything is right in the world and unless us as people font do something about it it will continue to happen.

The thing that gets me is... The world has its issues, it will for while.
