[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] See, this is where arguments break down- we can go 'round and 'round over terrorism and various shameful instances where the US/UK/USSR/Whoever supported or fought it but the matter at hand is a singular case- and, as far as I know, unprecedented. Maybe I'm just to cynical- I [i]cant[/i] buy the notion of a compassionate release while all the other stuff is pointing to a political swap (which would piss on the victim's families, in my opinion). Nor can I accept the notion of the reasons for his release not mattering, as he's terminal anyway. [QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [qb] I don't think it was a UK/IRA reference. I think it may have been a US/Israel reference. Also : "Libia"? Are you just doing this on purpose now? At least you had all the right letters before. [/qb][/QUOTE]Well, "labia" would have been funnier, but distracting. So, today's 9/11 and what have we got? Lots of dead allied forces (over a thousand US casualties between both countries and ten times that many wounded) and islamic extremism seems more prevalant today than eight years ago-though it may be that we are just more aware of it now. I'm sure some asshole politician will use the day as a soapbox to decry the other party's goals, and even worse- some jackass from overseas will be on TV burning an American flag- which will just alienate the US viewers to the Islamic world more. I think I'll boycott media today and just enjoy the day instead for those who no longer can. [/QB][/QUOTE]
