wtc buildings, final thoughts

[tmbg-power]

i know for me, this was the most dramatic, jaw dropping, disbelieving, and most sinking thing i have EVER watched on television.
Now i know that we were so vulnerable to a terrorist attack. but seriously, you have to give some mad props to osama bin ladin (or who ever may have pulled this off). a perfect plan that was carried out with accuracy. however i am sickened that this act killed SO many civilians. That part sucks
Anywho i want to say that i hope that america learned something. WE ARE NOT INVINCIBLE! We are a VERY vulnerable and are targets of many countries and terrorist organizations around the world and that they WILL strike again.
I wish all who may have been affected by this catastrophe well and strength for the ones helping in the rescue effort.
now i believe it is americas cue to go kick some ass, of some kind
please post your feelings about this history making event in this post
thanks

Ehowa.com presents this view,

Some people say this is a time for restraint. I again reiterate my words of wisdom of, Fuck that. This is NOT a time for restraint. Restraint was yesterday. Today is a time for action. A time for downright coldhearted asskicking revenge. A time for retaliation justified ten thousand times. A time for stealth bombers and tomahawk missiles. A time for napalm. This is not a time for politicians to use words like 'dispicable' or 'cowardly'. I want them to use words like, "Yeah we found out who it was, and we kicked their fucking ass. We bombed them, we watched their families burn to death, watched their houses burn to the ground, and then I went and pissed on their ashes." I do not want my government to give a measured calculated response. Fuck that. I want them to react in a furious rage blinded by the visions of burned bodies on the streets of an American city and bomb any fucking person or persons or foreign government that ever did, does, or we suspect ever will coordinate a terrorist attack again my beloved United States of America. Ladies and gentlemen, let us launch a handful of nukes and teach these Middle Eastern fucks what it's really like to experience hell on earth.

And to you Osama bin Laden, I tell you this. I may be stunned, I may be angry, I may be shocked, but I am NOT terrified. No, I drove home from my job today, which will be open tomorrow, and I drove through McDonalds and got a super sized Big Mac extra value meal. Business as usual. I continued on home, parked my car, and turned on my big fucking 65" television with which to watch the news. I am proud to say I am from Massachusetts and my Governor had the courage and wisdom to keep our voting polls open. Americans may grieve today, but we will excercise our right to vote and continue on our lives. Those were not just innocent people that you killed today, they were Americans. And one day, one day very soon, either I or another of my countrymen will slip a knife into your belly and twist it. We will watch as the energies of life slowly drain from your body. And then just before you die, I will place my mouth over yours, I will suck out your last breath and I will eat it.

I think that pretty much sum it up.

Dude, these people want to be martyrs. They're fanatics. They don't give a fuck. The whole reason they have carried out such acts is because they are rats in a corner with nothing to lose now. They've gone about as far as they can, and their lives on this earth are nothing in comparison to what they can do for their dogma and eternal reward beyond this life.

If you think retaliation will solve anything, you're completely mistaken. That's what has caused this situation, and that will only cause more of the same.

Don't you see that?

Do you want more of the same? Do you want WW3?

[tmbg-power]

:Do you want WW3?

no i dont. but who would back up afhganastahn? they have nothing. they are one of the most poor countires is europe.
might i add i am anti nukes. that would lead to WW3 and we would be retarded to use it. Just kick there ass like we did Iraq, just better.

i know what your saying

[Redhotchilis]

Just kick there ass like we did Iraq, just better.

Don't call me evil or treason-ish or anything, but hasn't the the US done similar things? Take Hirosima for instance. Even though Japan had no right to bomb Pearl Harbor, the US did something just as bad, maybe even worse. The US dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima and another city, killing millions of civilians. The people of Hiroshima had no defense whatsoever. The US had no defense either. I am not justifying yesterday's attack. I am merely saying that if the US had done something similar, the reaction would have been totally different

[tmbg-power]

The US dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima ... : The people of Hiroshima had no defense : : : : : whatsoever.

true dat. hey at that time that idea was new. we have learned and im sure that all who were in charge of the manhatten project and practicaly everyone in the US felt bad. We didnt do it out of hate mind you. It was THE ONLY WAY to beat them. Read your US history and find out. It takes too long. hehe

tmbg_power: Ah...since when was Afghanistan in Europe? Shit, did you keep all your atlases in the WTC?

It could very well turn into WW3. Muslims are one third of the world's population, and many of them are reported to have nuclear, chemical and biological warfare. They might even use them if push came to shove. It could get a lot more ugly than it already is. All violence would achieve would be further, greater violence from both sides.

I'm in total agreance with Shorbe on this, Calling for for is just Gung ho, Americans wanted war before they even knew who the enemy were, Afganistan already calls Americans the devil, if you launch war on them you give the rest of the world reason to believe them, A war will only fuel terrorism & worse than that it will actually justify the further acts of terrorism.

[shorbe]

Ack. I meant one fifth of the world's population, not one third. My mistake.

The then emperor of Japan deserves much of the blame. The US warned him numerous times that if he did not surrender, they would use the nuclear arms. He would not back down and he allowed his own people to die. The war ended and millions of lives were saved. It is not the same. It was a measure used to stop further violence, to stop a war. The events of Tuesday were intended to incite future violence and start a war.

In the eyes of the terrorists they were already at war(asuming that it's Bin Laden, of course)

[tmbg-power]

touche, shorbe.
Look im not a war monger. hell i dont want a fucking war but an intresting thought that i just found out at school. Nostradamus had made come predictions about the WTC. heres a very startling one.

Century 1, Quatrain 87
Earth-shaking fire from the center of the earth.
Will cause the towers around the New City to shake,
Two great rocks for a long time will make war,
And then Arethusa will color a new river red.

wierd huh? check out some others here, where i got this one Morgana's Observatory

[Redhotchilis]

George W Bush is a fucking idiot. We cannot, as he puts it, "battle terrorism, and destroy it." We can merely prevent it. Also, we cannot commit to finding and killing Osama Bin Laden. What if he's the wrong guy? What if it was someone from inside of the United States? We don't know anything yet. If I were president, I would commit maybe two thirds of the military to find Osama Bin Laden, quietly. If he knew we were looking for him, he would just go up into some secret hideaway, and we would never find him. And, if we catch him, his Arabic friends would get pissy and just make more trouble. It's a no-win situation, and I hope the George W. Bush is smart enough not to start World War 3.

[Bad-Bill]

Now is not the time for America to weep! We are all sad. We are all angry. We were all affected by this, but now is the time for America to be STRONG!! Let us show those bastards how TOUGH we really ARE! They will not get away with this. We have a strong military here, but it is only as strong as the public behind it. So, my fellow Americans, let us take the hyphens out of our names, African-Americans, Jewish-Americans, Asian-Americans, Muslami-Americans, Islami-Americans, what matters is that we are all Americans! Support the decision that our Commander in Chief makes. More than likely, all of the services will be sent out. Including this Marine. Remember what our country was founded on, remember that she was here for you, and now, she needs us.

Be strong my fellow Americans.

Hey asshole, that was a war that Japan started, not a terrorist act. Also millions of people weren't killed when we droped those bombs and droping those bombs saved much more lives then killed because had we not droped those bombs and made Japan submit we would have invaded them and the war would have gone on longer and much more Americans and Japs would have died because Japanese were willing to die including children and civilinans and had we not droped those bombs we would have had to fight until we had erradicated the Japanese.

[tmbg-power]

Be strong my fellow Americans.

RIGHT ON! Just today in fact we had an assembly outside for this terrible terrorist attack. We have been donating money collected from selling red white and blue ribbons; dontating toiletries to those who survived this. Never in my 15 years on this earth had i been proud to be an American.
I also agree that Bush is being an idiot. He should be worring about the internal affairs of the US. Once that has been doen with, then we should retailiate.

[Crap-Nugget]

What. you morons just found out about the 9/11 attacks? Can someone say STUPIDASS?

[W00tPWNER]

idiot, the last post here is from 9/14/01, three days after the attacks, and you say some dumb sit like that

[Nylo]

Sadly, I don't think the United States learned it's lesson. At all. We've become more harsh and paranoid with our security and are more go in guns blazing that ever before (and I'm not referring to Iraq, f.y.i.) . Everywhere I go, people think we're fighting a war against Iraqi terrorists. Sigh.

[D2Kvirus]

Final thoughts? Larry Silverstein is a cunt.

Just because he paid $2.3bn for the site two weeks before 9/11 doesn't mean he can demand office space on the site to make money back. Neither can he force the designer, who won the right to design the new site, to change his design (to one the person that came 3rd in the same challange), to fit it in.

Although when I say "neither", I forget he's American, so money talks more than rememberance.

[Th-e]

You insult Silverstein and I like it!

Apparently the WTC rebuilding process is the bigger problem. An ugly 70 story Freedom Tower with 500 feet of lattice to make it world's tallest building, being built to replace two 110 story towers. Silverstein tried to get double insurance payments and failed. He also forced a "sad compromise" which resulted in a David Childs/Daniel Libeskind hybrid Freedom Tower.

The other buildings: to be redesigned in the near future.

The memorial: A pair of PITS where the Twins once stood.

This isn't pretty.

[D2Kvirus]

America: Where you can grieve until somebody wnts to make money.

That's the message Silverstein is sending out, yet nobody - especially the NY Governor - seems to want to do a damn thing about it. How the hell can something like this be allowed to happen?

Now I want to know if they built an office block over where Jeffrey Dahmer's apartment once stood.
