Yeah but ... that didn't have much effect in the Gulf War. Sure it
knocked them back to the stone age, but what we really need to do is get
rid of their present leaders. *sighs* Mind you, if they're not adult
enough to elect/support sensible leaders (as opposed to cheering in the
streets when innocents die) perhaps we can't make that decision for them
and it's best to just knock them back into the stone age. America
doesn't seem to have had much success in liberating countries.

Alex,

Bush isn't going to lash out at random over this - it will be
investigated and a reasonably appropriate action will be taken.  Bombing
a major US city - with bombs or with hijacked planes - is an act of war,
and not exactly something to be taken lightly.  It warrants a serious
reaction.  In the mean time thousands of people are dead.  I have
friends 
who work in that neighborhood that i'm trying to find out if they're OK.

Regards,

Vinny

2001-09-11 Thread Vincent Meyer

So far most of the organizations that we'd think would do this have
denied they had anything to do with it.  The US is NOT going to randomly
commit itself to war when it doesn't know who it is fighting.  Most of
the Arab world gets along OK with the US.. why would we want to fight
them?

Regards,

Vinny

Uhm, in some respect I agree.  But: Suppose Bin Laden would be guilty;
this would mean that Afghanistan were guilty.

Now - I do not believe they would agree that he did something like this,
as this would give the US a perfect reason to hunt down and punish (to
quote president Bush) Afghanistan.  And frankly, I don't think it would
be a clean strike (as if there's something like this...) just against
Bin Laden or the leaders of Afghanistan.

Let's just hope that you are right - I wish to believe that you are.

I'm afraid you're right. May this day not be remembered as the first day

Below are clips of both your emails on this subject ~ as an American,
I'm offended at your callous remarks.  I would not wish this on you, but
try to imagine that you have friends and family in these areas and then
respect the fact the we (Americans) have a president whom is going to do
his best to find a solution to this act of war.  Terrorism is something
that affects everyone - not just the people who receive the bomb (or
airplane).

at the same time, those that foster or support, even take some

k...whatever...
 
   I hear Kabul has some cruise missiles over it right now
Allow me to clarify.  The US is *_NOT_* retaliating against Afghanistan. 
  This suspected ammo dump fire, sparked by possible...(as you seem to 
have made your educated guesses) may be the result of other groups. 
Keep  in mind that Afghanistan is in a civil war of its own at the 
moment, and one group or another could have started it (the explosions 
outside of Kabul).

I agree that this kind of stuff is private and may be best to not be on
the list. But it's a very serious issue for America, and possibly even the
world. I don't know how you feel, but I certainly wouldn't want to come

Terrorism is, sadly, a matter of daily life in many not-so-fortunate
countries. Where I come from, Indonesia, there are two active rebellions
going on, political figures in one of the provinces rebelling (Aceh) have
been assasinated - on one recent visit, our own President could not even stay
the night due to security concerns. One other ex-province (East Timor) is
slated to become independent next year after a campaign of terror tried
unsuccessfully in 1999 to dissuade the people from voting for independence.
This after 24 years of occupation (since 1975) and the slaughter of 200,000
people, roughly a quarter of the population. Including a massacre in 1991 of
more than 100 refugees taking shelter in a church.

And this even has relevance to the US : back in 1965 the CIA was actively
involved in toppling then-President Soekarno, backing the rise of General
Soeharto in a coup followed by a bloody purge of 500,000 socialists,
suspected communist sympathizers and ethnic minorities. Kind of like Pinochet
on a larger scale. SIS (the British foreign intelligence service) has
declassified files acknowledging their involvements, the CIA has refused to
do so, even reclassifying files that was published last month.

I thoroughly sympathize with the plight of the Americans, and roundly condemn
cowardly terrorist attacks throughout the world, but the adage does hold
true: you reap what you sow.

The US should wisely use its position as the sole global superpower to help
the rest of the world, not antagonise them.

In mourning,
