LOL shotguns? surely there are much better choices of weaponry...
anyway.

your statement is exactly why the world is where it is today..


Not to get too far off topic here but calling the AA 12 just a shotgun is like saying the .50 BMG a good rifle for plinking cans and bottles.. check it out here- www.youtube.com...

NO, slow child, I KNOW that the people who planned and carried out 9-11 were Saudi Arabian. One of the few nations in the middle east we are NOT attacking.

Afghan mob storms UN office, kills 8, beheads 2

MAZAR-I-SHARIF, Afghanistan — At least eight foreign UN workers were killed, two of them beheaded, on Friday in the northern Afghan city of Mazar-i-Sharif after a demonstration against the burning of Korans by a U.S. preacher, a regional police spokesman said.


"Eight foreigners were killed and two were beheaded," said Lal Mohammad Ahmadzai, a police spokesman for the northern region.

Why do you wonder what their motivation was, it clearly says in the second sentence of the article you posted, retaliation for the Koran burning preacher.

I wonder how the Afghans became aware of his March Koran burning, I live in the states and didn't hear anything about it until I read the article about their killing spree.

It couldnt possibly be the media trying to incite the kind of actions that make Americans support bombing the crap out of middle eastern countries could it?

Could be, but I don't think the story is bogus in this case. I saw the UN press release this morning, that's all the media is citing.

You asked how the Afghans knew about the Koran burning.

Im not saying the attacks were fake, they could be, but I dont know or have any reason to suspect that at this point. I am just saying that how the Afghans are getting news of western atrocities is very likely the same way we here in the US are getting news of Mid East atrocities.

Maybe the same reason all those innocent Iraqi's had to die? Because the media and some leaders inflamed the passions of people already upset by tragedy and death?

It seems like a made up reason to me, I don't buy it at all. I think it is more likely they are sick of the UN forces killing people in their country, not pissed about some little bonfire, that not many people outside the hateful little biblethumper community heard about.

There is no good reason, those that carried out the attack will be judged for the murders they have committed.

Yes the people who carried out the 9/11 attacks were Saudi Arabian but these guys(who's mostly disaffected with American) went to Afghanistan and become part of Al-Qaeda. That's where the Al-Qaeda and the Taliban was trained and that's why we are there for to stop them training any people, regardless of any nationality, that wanted to attack US and NATO.

But since 10 years ahead with no victory in sight we should pull out of there.
