9.11.2001,The truth that hurts

reply to post by ArtOfTrance


Thanks for the link. You linked me to a anti-Israel blog as proof?

From that site

...attribute the astonishing free-fall collapses of the twin towers as the result...

Later in the day the President of Israel and venomous worm, Ariel Sharon, held a press...

Ehud Barak and other Zionist rats also spoke this kind of language on media broadcasts, making their pre-planned Jewish war agenda quite obvious to say the least.

All three quotes contain emotional language and the whole page sounds like a political rant not a factual discussion.

I have connected the dots. You hate Israel and are an apologist for Muslim Extremist terrorists.

I disagree, this is just another case of America's inability to keep it's nose out of other peoples business. The Muslim countries have been fighting for a millenia and they will continue to fight. All we do is egg them on and assume we're doing the right thing because lives were lost.

What do you mean by "America's inability to keep its nose out of other people's business"? I'll agree that America has has a long history of butting into other people's business but it isn't necessarily the US gov't. For example, many American women's rights organizations are trying to stop the dreadful tradition of Female Genital mutilation in underdeveloped countries (most notoriously Islamic countries), and it will necessarily anger the local cultures, but I don't believe the US gov't has made an official stance on FGM in islamic nations. The same goes with American gay rights organizations- they are trying to interfere with Iran's Sharia law stating that homosexuals should be executed (about 4000 since their revolution) and the Iranian people don't appreciate our know-it-all people going over there and telling them what to do.

Oh, I'm sorry, when you said "interfere with other people's business" is this not what you were referring to?

We want to do right by the people who's mothers, sons, daughters and fathers were lost on 9-11 but we can't even fix our own country. We want to help others when we can't even help our self. We borrow and borrow, we fail at managing our budget, we fail as a country.

The fact does not contradict the statement that Islamic nations run more on stone age traditions than rational thought or even what's best for their people. The one mistake OBL made is actually the same mistake we're making with Muslim countries- he was applying the rules and traditions he was familiar with in dealing with others, as he genuinely though a terrorist attack here would produce something tangible for his cause. He didn't realise that we were quite willing to bankrupt ourselves to hunt him down like an animal. Great, we hunted him down. Now comes the "bankruptcy" part.

America thrives in hatred and intolerance and until we accept the problem and move on, we will always have this problem.

Now you just contradicted yourself. You're complaining that all these American know-it-alls are going to these foreign countries tryign to improve tolerance to modern ideas that contradict their age old traditions (like that whole "don't kill gay people in the street" thing) which is necessarily getting under their skin, and then you turn around and insist "America thrives in hatred and intolerance". You can't have it both ways.

It's time to move on and fix what we've messed up instead of worrying about everyone else's petty differences.

I would hardly call a terrorist attack on American soil that wound up killing 3000 people "a petty difference".

It's quickly becoming obvious that the genuine "ugly truth" the OP was referring to is that not everything in the world is the result of soemthign the US is doing. Yes, pinch yourself, it's true- there actually is a whole world out there beyond the US borders and they have their own agenda completely separate from what the US is doing.

A wound that you don't treat in time will go viral.

With all due respect, not viral, but "bacterially infected" would be the proper term. Viruses and Bacteria are two completely different organisms.

Not trying to get into a peeing match with you, but you are incorrect.

As you might think, bacterial infections are caused by bacteria and viral infections are caused by viruses. Infections caused by bacteria include strep throat, tuberculosis and urinary tract infections. Diseases that result from viruses include chickenpox, AIDS and the common cold.

Bacteria are single-celled microorganisms that thrive in many different types of environments. Some varieties live in extremes of cold or heat, while others make their home in people's intestines, where they help digest food. Most bacteria cause no harm to people.

Viruses are even smaller than bacteria and require living hosts — such as people, plants or animals — to multiply. Otherwise, they can't survive. When a virus enters your body, it invades some of your cells and takes over the cell machinery, redirecting it to produce the virus.
