So Bush has been killing women and children in Iraq for over 3 years now

[NNN0LHI]

All of us here know that. The stories and photos have been posted here since Bush invade and occupied Iraq.

Would anyone be real surprised if some people who have lost family members in Iraq would try and strike at us here in America? That would be a real shocking development wouldn't it? Not!

We can all thank Bush and his minions for this.

1. What is the difference between dropping a bomb on a town

and gunning people down in their homes?

2. Retaliation happens, even in the "civilized" world.

Remember the two planes that crashed over Europe a few years ago (a FedEx and a Russian passenger plane carrying vacationers)?

The father of one of the families that died went to the home of the air traffic controller who was working those planes and killed him.

If people in the "civilized" world will retaliate ofer an error in judgement (and gross incompetence, from what I've seen of the crash) it shouldn't be surprising that people in a war zone will retaliate when their families are intentionally killed.

3. Yes, but he's not killing "his own people."

If you are a killer, it is always better if you kill other people's people.

4. The terrorists claimed 9/11 was retaliation

It was retaliation for aiding Israel and for pushing Iraq out of Kuwait.

But an attack that killed 3,000 people cannot go unpunished. That is why Afghanistan was then invaded.
Another 9/11-like attack that kills many Americans will lead to yet another war, possibly bringing back the military draft.

A WMD attack and you will see ICBMs falling in the mid-east. This is why Al-Queda's leadership scrapped the idea of a nuclear attack. Osama wanted it. But his top followers were very much against it because they believed it lead to massive nuclear retaliation. And if the terrorists use nukes, the entire international community will rise up against them.
