No, terrorists probably don't care about long term political or econimical goals, if they did they wouldn't be terrorists, I suppose Posted: Tue Sep 11, 2001 9:32 am

What is to be gained from this??
To bloody the nose of the US?? What is gained??
To ask for 10 times retribution from the US military. What is gained??
Some sort of Jihad martyr making? Real benefit besides getting name on plaque???
The Japanese made this same sort of mistake by acting and failing to fully see the retribution that would be demanded by the US population. I think if these terrorists wanted to bring to bear the full rage of the American people, along with the concentration of its resources, to eliminate these types of threats they have succeeded.
The rules have now changed.
It is hard to believe that any religion or belief embraced by large populations could possibly condone these actions. I, like many others, am finding it very hard to control my rage. I dont think the US will do anything rash. I know that those resposible will answer for this.
Prayers for all the victims.

The Taliban ambassador to Pakistan, Abdul Salam Zaeef, has condemned the attacks, according to the Pakistan-based Afghan Islamic press agency.

That must have been a awful number of people. Imagine what it must feel like for their families...What horrific waste of human lifeOriginally posted by Sailor Saturn:

It's almost incomprehensible I'm sure the US will find out who's responsible. Such a large scale operation must leave a lot of traces.

The death toll easily numbers in the thousands. I’m trying to keep calm but it’s hard not to fly off into a rage. This cravenly assault must be met with swift and deadly reprisal. I don’t know who’s to blame for this but I was disgusted to see footage from Jerusalem of people dancing in the streets and celebrating when they heard of the carnage. Has human life become so devoid of value? The world has taken a turn for the surreal. Some folks are even talking about the book of Revelations and Armageddon. I know if America goes to war over this I’m enlisting. God keep the souls of those slain and may the sword of justice find the hearts of the bastards responsible.

But it will change our way of life in some way. Already we're at a state of war with fighter planes patrolling the skies of Washington, D.C.Originally posted by Tom:

The Manhattan skyline has been permanently changed. Part of what made us so vernerable(sp?) to this are our freedoms. How many of those freedoms will we lose because of this?

the 6th deaths and 1000 injuries to which you are referring was the result of the 1993 world trade center bombing. this is far more devestating. the official casualty ESTIMATE at this time is now 10,000. both towers have collapsed...they are gone...

All i could ask is that ppl remain calm and be sure to seek the truthful information in all this...not spread false information. and for those of you who pray, please keep this entire situation formeost in your prayers.

Here in Tucson, government and police buildings are obviously on heightened security. The Red Cross has put a call out for blood donations, but their collection centers are currently jam-packed, and they are trying to open new centers. There isn't much any of us can do about the situation, but I intend to give blood later today. I encourage everyone to do so as well. Even international blood banks may be tapped. Just a suggestion.

some of those thousands athat are dead are fire fighters and police who were tryign to help and save people. not only were those people inside taken, but all those hundreds of new yorkers walkign underneath...

??? Aren't you making some rather unfounded assumptions here? So far, both BBC and CNN says it's far to early to tell who's responsible for the attacks.Originally posted by Rob-hin:

Pictures of a some hundred anti-American Palestinians celebrating, has been broadcasted. IMO there are no excuses for celebrating death and disaster of other people, especially not civilians. But the celebrating Palestinians probably feel what some of us in the Western world would feel if the perpertrators of this attack were hunted down and killed this very moment. Revenge and hate are strong in the human mind.
EDIT: You beat me to it, AJ.

They just closed off the Canadian and Mexican borders.

There will probably be many groups claiming responsibility. We should not even consider retaliation until we know for sure who is responsible. Oklahoma showed us that it could even be a US group. Consequently, I would urge caution.

Put wall around the whole place and wait till they are all dead.
Fighting about who's religion is better, all wanting theire own country, thinking they are better then the rest.
For these "people" I have no mercy.
