God bless America

As I pray for the deaths of those who propegate such actions against others.

The only way to combat evil is through superior firepower.

You not understanding is expected. America is angry, and therefore that extend to a lot of her citizens. We were attacked by Muslims a decade ago and it still stings a bit. Citizens of the USA speaking of wanting the evil people killed sounds fairly normal to me. Knowing and acknowledging that we have the most superior military in the world, and might need to use it at times to combat evil, also sounds fairly normal to me. So on the anniversary of this event, Americans will understandably make it known that we haven't forgotten, and a worse fate awaits a terrorist group that declared war on us. Maybe events such as terror attacks are easy to get used to for some, but here on American soil, we act a little different and aren't used to this kind of thing.

Why is that strange to you jafar? Why would you feel a need to say such a thing because some of us Love our Country, and would be willing to Die for it???

Even though I'm not American, what's expressed here makes perfect sense to me. And more, this is exactly as it should be. I'd worry if anything of the feeling, the sense of injustice, and the willingness to use superior military might in the service of combatting the evil America has had to face, was ever eroded.

And ... can the victims of 9/11, their memories, be given a better expression of remembrance ? They must not have died in vain. Surely, if their deaths are to serve any great purpose, it's to act as the galvanising force behind the vanquishing of the evil that claimed their lives that day.

Thank you SIR Drummond. I mean it. Well stated, and refreshing to hear. Thank you very much.

Thank you SIR Drummond. I mean it. Well stated, and refreshing to hear. Thank you very much.

You're more than welcome.

I do have one regret about the aftermath of 9/11. I recall GW Bush calling on other nations to stand shoulder-to-shoulder in solidarity with America, to be committed in the fight against global terrorism. He took the line, as I recall, that countries couldn't be reasonably neutral in this.

I think he got that exactly right. It's to much of the world's shame that so comparatively little of the response Bush hoped for actually materialised. Yes, countries came forward .. far too few .. but the willingness to commit to the fight was little more than feeble.

I think the world shamefully let you down, and in so doing, also let themselves down. I'm not even sure I excuse the UK from this criticism .. could we have done significantly more ? I believe so.

I'm sorry this happened as it did. Your country has done much in the past to aid foreign countries, at great cost to itself. Quite apart from the worth of the issues involved, the 9/11 aftermath, and the War on Terror, was one chance those countries in your debt had to step up to the plate and do right by you.

It should have happened, decisively, unreservedly. It didn't - and that was very wrong. I am sorry.

Thank you very much...Again. No need for you to apologize for anything.
The World has become such a different place for all of us who are old enough to recall...what we once called those "Good old days, that never really were that good. But they were, seemingly, much better."


As we have seen over the last eleven years. Dirty politics, combined with desperate leaders who need to find any excuse they can to bring ruin to those of us here in the Western World...being called all of those familiar, Sulfur-laden kinds of damning things because we are supposedly the GREAT SATAN of capitalism that refuses to share it's earned wealth, liberty, freedom, and rights with those who demand it...without working for it.
That's what is happening in the nations of Europe, and even here in the USA.
The age of ENTITLEMENT without paying for it has invaded the entire world.
And now. Like 9/11. The rest of the world wants us to PAY again, in the same way. Because I, my family, my friends, and every other American OWES it to those who just want to take it.

Thanks for this.

And I agree with you - you've put this well.

Muslims didn't attack you. Criminals did. Whether or not they happened to claim to be Muslims is moot. Now you have 1.5 billion of us living in fear of being labelled a terrorist and harassed for our choice of religion when we had NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!

Our religion forbids and condemns terrorist acts. I could post pages and pages of proofs for you but it would just fall on deaf ears as usual. It seems it's easier for you to just blame the strange talkin' people with beards and go blindly off dropping bombs on the brown ones.

Yee harr

A -- "propegate" is not a word.

B -- My great aunt feels the same way about Dresden.

No sir! You dont get by with that! Muslim Jihadists attacked and murdered over 3,000 innocent people!
They were NOT damn munchkins, trolls, fairies, or ordinary criminals.
They did so because the Koran and hadiths teach hatred and murder as the way to treat non-believers! --Tyr

UH OH! Look out everybody. Miss BALLBREAKER is grading our posts today.

Next thing we'll all learn is. She's gonna want all of us to expose our "TALLYWHACKERS" because only she can decide to be the DP grammar cop with the whistle, and Village People Mustache.

The Muslims remind me a lot of the Democrats or vice versa. They are in it for the long haul. They don't care if the lose this argument or vote or battle, it's just moving down the line.
