Humm................what that comment has to do with the thread?

Well, let's take a closer look. Marge says

nobody does anything to bring the Bush administration to justice for the death of the 9/11 attacks.

And I say

What if someone burned down your house and killed your family, then I went around saying "Marg was warned!! We have to bring her to justice

You see marg, the correlation is made between 9/11 being bombed, and then us saying Bush, the leader of our country, should be brought to justice, and marg, most likely one of the heads of her house, having her house brunt down and me saying she should be brought to justice. But I thought that was a pretty easy thing to pick up on.

And has you seen any justice done to satisfy the victims families of 9/11?

I guess destroying the organization that killed the victims isn't justice? Tell me marg, what would be justice? What do you think should be done?

I don't think that invading Iraq and bombing Afghanistan has to do with justice, do you?

Well, let's take a look. The taliban, being the group responsible for 9/11, resided mainly in Afghanistan where they had control of the people there. Stoning women, dragging people off into the night and killing them, and of course bombings were a regular for these people. Destroying their organization would mean that we're safer from their attacks, seeing as how they would no longer exist. Understand now?

Moving onto Iraq. The intelligence that Bush had at the time said that there was a link between Saddam hussein and Al qaeda (Al qaeda being another group responsible for the terrist attacks). It also said that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. Most people agreed that we needed to go into Iraq. Clinton, Kerry, and other leading democrats were among people who saw the same evidence as Bush did. When we realized there may not be a link between al qaeda and Hussein, and when we didn't find WMD's, people started bailing out. However, this does not lead me to believe it was a mistake. Weapons of mass destruction were not the only reason Bush went into Iraq. He gave 3 reasons, destroying the evil regime of Saddam Hussein, Spreading democracy in the middle east, and WMD's. Also, Iraq has brought forth a 'ground zero' if you would, or a gathering place where we can fight most of the terrorists in one place. This will make the overall war on terror much easier to conduct.

Actually the families of the victims of 9/11 made a law sue against the Saud Royal family for their links to financing terrorism.

And who exactly were these families? How many people? You do know that almost 3,000 people died on 9/11, right? If eight people came forth to sue the saudis, would you say they represent the "families of the victims of 9/11"? Can you give me a link or something to at least show me that it's not complete B.S?

Do you still think that the victims of 9/11 will get their day in court?

You mean all of the 2,823 people who died, multiplied by the number of families each one had? I don't know, ask them since you seem so convinced that every single family member of a victim is lumped into one huge organization that represents all of their feelings or something.
