No one ever claimed one nation responsible for all evil. Stop being a drama queen. Yes, I hate Bush. So what did you just prove? Most sensible men hate Bush. He's a joke.
Another original thought...U.S. is full of morons since they voted for Bush...how original...oh yeah and of course au contraire: Most in the U.S. are not sensible since they voted for Bush.

You want me to mourn for victims of terrorist acts? Well, get real, Nicky, 9/11 was not the first terrorist attack ever. This whole "war on terror" disgusts me. It's only because terrorism struck in the US the reaction is so overwhelming. Let's face it, had it been in Namibia, you wouldn't have cared. Since we wouldn't have cared about those Namibian people I don't know, I certainly won't care about those American people I don't know either. I'm sorry if you lost someone on 9/11, but don't act as if the US are the only nation out there that have to cope with terrorism. So no, I won't mourn for your victims as I don't mourn for people I don't know. Fvck off.
Had it been Namibia..then Namibia could have altered their foreign policy to weed out terrorists within their nation or threatening their security..since it was in the U.S. a decision was made to avoid it at all costs...
the magnitude of what occcured is not something most could fathom...the impact of what happened is not something most could fathom either..
More importantly, you have not addressed the other issue...what about the terrorists?
Where do they stand in all this..innocent scapegoats???
Don't make me vomit...please.

Other than that you might as well realise that your president, who I apparently have to like, is spending billions on a defence program while there are far better ways of spending that money. Perhaps poverty in your own country is something that should be placed above the war on terror on your agenda. Perhaps welfare is something more important. Perhaps it's more useful spending billions on trying to save millions of people from poverty and starvation, than it is spending it on saving no more than 1000 people from terrorist attacks. Let's face it, what's the real threat of terrorism anyway? It's not as huge as you like to believe it is. Stop acting like you're brainwashed.
You want brainwashed?? Let me explain you brainwashed...strapping on twenty pounds of explosives and going into a subway because you will live eternity with virgins is brainwashing..
Mounting a plane and slamming into towers because the 'infidels' deserve it is brainwashing..
Being a 15 year old and walking into a pizza parlor in Tel Aviv on a warm July night and blowing the crap out of yourself and the dozens of other families because the shady guys in the Mosque convinced you to do so is
BRAINWASHING..
Compare that to giving credit or listening to a politician who says that there is a lingering threat and its better to be proactive about it ....
now you tell me how is BRAINWASHED.
Lastly, about your poverty versus arms....in this continent most individuals have a good shot at living a good life with hard work and some schooling...poverty though difficult is something you CAN overcome..
Walking into the office on a September morning and watching a 747 head towards you is NOT something you can dig yourself out of...
