So you are saying that the Government isn't the enemy? So you are saying that I, PERSONALLY, am the ENEMY TO THE WORLD? I'm sorry, but you seem like you've been brainwashed by Bin Laden himself.
Yes, I'm saying that you are the enemy in this fight. It is you and your fellow countrymen who spur the cultural and economic take-over of the rest of the world.

Millions of people here in this country work their asses off, for just minimum wage. They can barely afford to provide their children a college education, let alone do anything even close to the bull shit you and your terrorist friends believe.
One, I am not a terrorist and I don't have terrorist friends. Two, I'm not saying that the American people are doing anything that isn't common knowlege, I'm just saying that if you look at it from the point of view of someone who is under the subjugation of the American empire, then it doesn't seem like millions of people who work their asses off for "just minimum wage." You take for granted those words, minimum wage. The minimum wage in the US is many times higher than the average wage of people in many countries throughout the world. The people of the United States are the richest and most wasteful in the world, and their excess and waste is shouldered by the rest of the world. Furthermore, the persuit of a global market by the American people brings with it the pressure to accept American cultural values and that pressure is backed up with the force of the world's largest military. The American people are not the victims that you would make them out to be.

Are these people really the enemy to the world?!
Yes.

What the hell has the average U.S. citizen done to deserve being killed by cowardly terrorists?
The American consumer culture drives a world market of inequality that forces most of the world to spend their human and natural resources at an non-renewable rate just to prop up the American economy while their own people can not afford clothing food and shelter. Furthermore, the American people wage a cultural war on the rest of the world, forcing them to accept American values. Also, to call them cowardly is bullshit. Why is a man a coward for sacrificing his life to save his people, his religion, and his culture? Simply because you don't agree with his beliefs, that does not make him a coward.

You think that all people over here are bigots, who don't care about anything else than personal belongings.
No, I don't think that. I think that Ameicans as individuals can be very caring, selfless, and generous people. However the American culture at large is one of consumerism, greed, and excessive wealth.

Well, sorry to break it to you, but thats common to all people over the world, not just here.
Oh really? So, you're trying to tell me that the United States is not the most consumerist, greedy, and arrogant nation in the world? Right, well I've been all over the world and I've seen a lot of different cultures, but Americans take the cake in that regard and they lead the world in bringing those values to other places, especially to places that don't want American culture.

So basically you just confirmed that you support Osama Bin Laden, as well as all the other terrorrist organizations around the globe.
Yes, I support some of Osama Bin Laden's goals. For instance, I support the idea of a united, Arab, Islamic Middle East. I support the end of American oppression and exploitation of the rest of the world. I don't support the violence that Bin Laden advocates, and I don't support his radical Islamic ideals.
But, I fail to see how that means that I support all other terrorist organizations. I don't support the idea of terrorism, nor do I support the causes of all the other terrorist groups. You do realise that not all the terrorists in the world are after America...

By that, you ARE a terrorist.
Oh, **** off. I'm a terrorist? Do I bomb public places? Do I highjack planes and crash them into buildings? Do I kidnap people? Do I give money to people who do that? Do I do anything, that helps people to hurt other people? The answer to all those questions is NO. Just because I understand the hate that terrorists have for America does not mean that I am a terrorist.
