Originally by: slothe well arabs "did it"
but it was in response to americas foreign policy
and americas foreign policy was based on their global quest to suck resources out of all other countries.
so although the arabs may have "done it", whos to blame?
First of all, "arabs" didn't. Al'Queda did.
To put a few things in perspective:
Read about the history of the middle east and what happened there during the height of the British empire. (There's a reason that Al'Queda and such hate westerners in general - not only America. I suppose that many are too ignorant to remember the other terrorist attacks that have been traced to Al'Queda that happened outside the United States.)
Then look into Al Queda's rationalizations behind what did (and what they've been doing for a long time... this started loooong before 9/11). For instance what their sect of Islam says about the world and what they see as their duty to do something about it... Read a bit about the creation of the Israeli state and the tensions that has caused, and the perpetual cycle of conflict and attempted truce that has been going on for decades now.
Oh, and the resources thing: go look up charts of crude oil imports (to the US) from countries like Canada, Mexico, Venezuela and compare them to imports from Iraq, Saudi Arabia, etc. Take a look at the history of OPEC and their impact on the world's present supply and price of crude. (As a side note, you'll discover along the way several other "O*EC" cartels, it may surprise you!) Then take a look at what some earlier empires such as the British empire did in order to secure its energy needs. It makes the American "empire" look like lightweights, wowie.
*sigh* I thought they gave history lessons in school.
Yeah, the nutjob conspiracy theories have no limit, nor does the ignorance in the "Americans brought it on themselves" line of thought. Not that Americans haven't ever made a mess of things. lol. But in reality, the American "empire" is in many ways not nearly as decadent, exploitative, or even remotely as war-mongering as empires that have come before - including the British Empire, or many other empires clear back to and including the Roman empire, and beyond.
But in reality there's perfectly traceable explanations of the conflicts we're dealing with right now, and these stories extend as far back as the fall of the Ottoman empire.
Oh, and the "adult answer": IBTL!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Pardon some typos, I've had some beers and my right hand is wrapped (wrist injury), difficult to type!
I wasnt going to post, but what about the innocent people in those countries like iraq who have had their houses bombed.
Blood of the west is the only blood that counts apparently.

Never said that this war is a righteous one. Nothing in my above statements implied it either.
In fact I oppose this war openly, and have from the onset.

This is a fair representation of the intellectual grasp of your typical conspiracy loon. It is also a part of the reason why a nation is divided and partly blaming itself for the evil deeds it didn't deserve.
I'm not a yank but I respect them very much. My native country is free thanks to them and in spite of the fashionable US bashing, no country on earth has protected human freedoms more.

Just recognize that we're not perfect so your country doesn't make the same mistakes we've made.
Unfortunately we can't seem to sc**** enough delicate genius together every 2 and 4 years to fix the problems we've got, let alone stop messing around with others :s

The truth, and terribly unfortunate. I have known a single politician since I become "politically aware" that stood anywhere near my beliefs, and this year's election is no different. Representation? Pfft.
Though honestly I don't think I could say any differently for any other nation on this planet.

Edited by: Bibi on 12/10/2008 16:25:06 These questions should not be dealt with in a light way. Maybe not on the eve-forum thats what I think in anyway. First its not about the american's as dumb people because they are not dumb. They follow there leaders as moste of the other people around the world do. ITS a HUMAN thing... The moste clear example of this in the west is maybe ****** and the German people he came to power and it was no giant civil war to remove him and his people from power its so many examples of people following there leaders in the history of man so its definitely not a only stupid american thing. It would be alot easier if that was the case ofc but its not. Then 9/11 happen and iraq was harboring terrorists and weapons of mass destruction etc moste people know the story its its a fact that no weapon of mass destruction was found in iraq they knew it before the invation the UN had the proof even but they got overruned. Then we have the harboring of terrorists well what can we say about that really as america invaded iraq in the 1990's maybe just funny coincident that it was father bush that time or not... however alot of iraqis lost family in that war aswell ofc so that alot of them did not like americans for that reason its not strange but they did nothing against america until america came in to Iraq the second time...and america and we all call them terrorists when they fight the invaders with bombs etc its really the same as IRA and british before (ONE MAN'S TERRORIST, ANOTHER'S FREEDOM FIGHTER)so this had nothing to do with international terrorism from the start maybe now they do as the people fighting the usa in iraq need funds to fight the worlds most powerful army and obviously there not going to give up and just accept to be over runned.
What america did in the first gulf war was to take advantages of the situation and when iraq and its leader invaded kuwait bush and USA moved in to stop ethnic cleansing...But it was really a matter of first to the oil gets the best deal then if someone is smart they can justify a invasion and still keep a good realtion with the public. If america did this just because of the so called ethnic cleansing and removing evil from the world they would have gone to other places before like africa to stop the huge ethnic cleansing there but its one thing different, its not as much concentrated and huge amount of oil there so its about profit in the end and the bonus you get is (it looks like you saved kuwait and its people from iraq and its leader and in a way they did so its a very smart move! so to say that the USA is the nr1 freedom fighter of the world is wrong as there not acting that way, they move when its profit to be made out of it. However any country with power would do this as we can look back in the history and see this time after time there not worse than other large powers now or before there probably one of the better honestly.
Russia and China for example I think we can all agree that no one of us that live in the west would like to move to russia or china not because of its people but for the hard rules in those places however if this was the case we would see more people emigrating to these powers now its the other way as we all know.
Iraq they failed with there invasion of kuwait they just moved in to kuwait and it did not work of course the whole world turned against them. (move only when you can get the opposition with you thats smart)old-bush he got a hiphip hurray from the people of the world that love to see a dictator regime fall SO NO al qaida terrorists in iraq at the time of the second invasion of Iraq and NO weapons of massdestruction neither. Those were the 2 reason given to the world by the US and the briths before the second invasion war of iraq and it was a lie they got alot of shit for it but its still a lie! hundreds of thousands people dead. Could 9/11 be lie? of course it could be but its a scary thought so we just don't care about it simply

Many people here have chosen to inform themselves of what they wish to know, using sources that directly serve that informational need.
The internet is good for that.
When you want real knowledge; stop looking at just what you want to see/hear about.
And get the **** off CAOD with this stupidity.
