Title: RE: Here's the very point I've been making





I think that Kurt made some very good points and as he says, this articles reiterates what he's been saying. I think that everyone is too close to the event to be able to see this.

I don't think that anyone is saying that the world would be better if it was communist, this is exactly why we halted Hitlers invasion of Europe. Also, rest assured that NO-ONE is saying that this attack is in any way justified for any involvement that has happened in the past.

The fact that NATO has invoked article 5 is an indication of just how much we don't think it was justified. To declare that an attack against a member state is an attack against all member states has never happened for acts of terrorism.

As a sign of just how much it has affected us outside the US, for the first time ever the Queen's guards played the American National Anthem at the changing of the guards. Today at 11am GMT accross the whole of Europe there is going to be 3 minutes silence to remember and reflect.

Be sure, whilst it may have been you that were attacked, your friends will be there by your side come judgement day.


Our thoughts are with you constantly.

I'm sure Belgium provoked someone to earn their fate in WW2. Same
for Poland in both World Wars.

Hear 
some scumbag on the metro today... about the time we were going through the 
Pentagon metro, talking about how Hitler and Stalin had some good ideas... 

"You 
know... not about the Jews... but about foreigners"
Idiocy Reigns Supreme and such is the 
wellspring of hatred and intolerance.
