Terrorism is simple to stop. Find terrorists. Destroy terrorists. Simple. Not necessarily easy.

Terroism is the most evil way possible to make a point. It's also one of the most effective, and hardest to stop.
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

I woke up today just as the first plane crashed into the World Trade Center. Most of my first class today was spent listening to the news coverage and watching as a few of the students frantically tried calling their loved ones in New York City. This is simply a horrible, horrible act, and I can't say it any better than that. Thousands of people have died today because some terrorist group has decided that they don't like the United States. At the very least, the 266 people on the four airplanes are for certain gone. The toll will only go up as we count the victims in the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and in the areas surrounding them.
I've spent the past two hours tracking down and finding friends in New York City. Almost all of them live or work in the Lower Manhattan district. I've found all but two so far. This is simply horrible, and I wish I could communicate that more clearly.
I'm not a religious person, nor have I ever really been, but, if there is a supreme being out there, a mighty god or goddess watching over us, may He/She/It have mercy on the innocent souls in these attacks, and may those innocent souls find their peace in the great beyond.

Reduce the entire area to slag. That should end the problem.
Hey, the original Israelites knew it. Check the OT. You go in, waste EVERYBODY, level the city to the sand, and declare peace.
The Romans knew it, as one historian was quoted: "The Romans make a desert, and call it peace."

So we should have bombed Ireland into oblvivion then? Or was that stupid and childish comment intended as a joke?

In order to prevent any other possible casualties (the Pentagon is not the only target), the pilot/hijacker/kamikaze shot down the jet after the pilot refused commands to cease and desist.
What is your source on this? I have not seen anything about this online or on the news...

Capitol Hill was false. Kennedy Space Center was false. I'm hoping that plane the air force was said to be pursuing was a hoax too. It would be just like them to spread that "americans had to kill their own to save a percentage more of people."

IMHO, and I'm Canadian, you find the two first people that come out to deny the attacks and freakin' demolish everything ... first start with a target that has nothing to do with the military .. make it freakin' personal.
They celebrated in the middle-east when it was learned that the attacks were a success... THAT IS A GOOD PLACE TO DROP THE FIRST BOMB!
I damn well hope that Bush doesn't sit on his duff with this .. cuz they fuckin' deserve the retaliation!
Now.. back to your regular scheduled program: Mr. Rogers Neighbourhood Bombing!

The news about the shoot-down was from the radio news up here. It has since been proved false.
