I know that was the reason for Israel to bomb and strike them in Lebanon last summer. But wasnt part of the deal to end the war for Hezbollah to release the soldiers???

President Bush hadn't brought the troops back from Iraq for 4 years. what makes me think that he'll bring them back after hearing that he'd veto a vote against keeping them there?

No country bestows absolute freedom to its citzens...we certainly are not free to kill people.

Freedoms, including speech, are constrained largely based on societal interests. For example "fighting words" are not protected speech because of their ability to provoke.

Consider the following absurdity - America spends billions on islamic terror prevention. We send troops to Afghanistan to take out islamic terror camps, to prevent Muslims from...well...committing terror in America.

Can Islamic terror hurt America if there is no Islam in America? Islamic missles could...but terror requires domestic presence and acceptance.

The truth is, all religion is false but what happense when its also violent and virulent presence? Why do we not curtail this social ill as we do others?

The same logic that justifies curtailment of speech applies here...but Americans have such love for religion...its all good...say the dumb sheep.

It seems many on these posts think that invading another nation and killing their citizens make our marines heroes and patriotic?. According to Webter patriotism is love for or devotion to one's country, not love for the interests of Bush or Oil companies nor invading unarmed nations..

Interestingly, the burden of proof is no longer on the "conspiracy theorists" but on those who have stood by the government's official claim that 19 hijackers with plastic box-cutters financed by Bin Laden, out smarted the CIA, FBI, NSA, FAA, The Pentagon, and our Multi Trillion Dollar High Tech Military by crashing 4 planes without any intervention.

The following is fact and is irrefutable:

FACT: Bin Laden is NOT wanted by the FBI for the 9/11 attacks. Check out the FBI web site. Reason? They don't have sufficient evidence to convict him. Perhaps this is why Bush said he really doesn't care if we catch him or not.

FACT: There are hundreds of televised claims from the morning of the attacks saying that witnesses heard or felt explosions prior to the collapse of the towers. These include firefighters, police, news reporters, security guards, employees of the WTC and civilians.

FACT: 47 story - WTC 7, we are told, collapsed from fire alone. This was unprecedented for a concrete and steel frame building. Furthermore, it fell symmetrically at free fall speed. Science and deductive reasoning will easily support the cause of this collapse as DEMOLITION. Fire does not have the energy to do this. Besides, Larry Silverstein declared on TV that they “pulled” building 7.

FACT: The steel from WTC was shipped overseas before an investigation was even opened. This is the greatest destruction of evidence and malpractice in the history of forensics.

FACT: Thousands of first responders have been afflicted and some have even died from respiratory failure. The government will not support investigations into the many reports which show that these heroes have micronized steel, glass, and concrete in their lungs. Fire, and the collapse from gravity would not produce this type of dust. Demolitions, however, supports the evidence.

FACT: We were told that NORAD didn't intercept any of the planes that day. This spans from about 8:24 A.M, the time of the first report of a hijacking, to 10:06, when the last plane crashed in Shanksville Penn. NORAD has a prior track record of intercepting planes within minutes. Standard Operating Procedure was not followed that day. The Bush Administration changed their story several times. We must also look at the fact that President Bush ordered Cheney to take control over NORAD the morning of the attacks.

FACT: The investigation into 9/11 was initially opposed by the Bush Administration. The 9/11 families pressed for one. They got it, but with remarkable conditions. The total costs of the investigation, including the NIST report, was only $16 million. The cost to investigate the Space Shuttle crash - $50 million. The cost to investigate Clinton - $42 million. In other words, the greatest failure of our defenses deserved less money than the shuttle and Clinton's perjury. What an insult to the 9/11 families and the loss of their loved ones.

FACT: No one has been fired for the failures of 9/11.

FACT: Right before the attack a spike in “put options” on Boeing, United Airlines, and American Airlines increased dramatically and was never investigated. Millions are still unclaimed. This indicates people knew in advance. Why didn’t the FBI check out these leads?

FACT: In August 6, 2001 A Public Daily Briefing Memo that was titled BIN LADEN DETERMINED TO STRIKE IN THE US was brought forward. Yet prior to its declassification, we were told by Rice and Fleisher that there were no warnings. Had this news been made public, couldn't travelers, law enforcement, and airline workers have been a little more guarded or informed to notice something that day? Wouldn't we have guessed right away that the first report of a hijacking was indeed a terrorist? Or would we have dismissed it as "one bad pilot" and continued to read "My Pet Goat" while America was attacked?

FACT: When the United States is under attack the first measure is to secure the President.
The entire nation knew 2 weeks in advance that President Bush would be at Booker Elementary Grade School. Why did his body guards and secret service men let him remain at this location for 20 minutes after the attack? Holding the book “My Pet Goat” upside down while he tried to address a bunch of 5th grade students?

The bottom line is - If the deaths of 3000 people occurred under the control of a corporation, people would have been brought up on charges of criminal negligence. Immediately! Despite the growing movement and mounting evidence into the WTC collapses, the government still has made up its mind that it is fire that brought these buildings down and that 9/11 was simply a failure of imagination. They feel no one is to blame. This was the conclusion they had prior to the investigation. What the 9/11 Commission produced is the anti-thesis of the scientific method. Much of the evidence was outright omitted. Since they determined the conclusion prematurely. Do you understand?

If you were an underwriter at an insurance company, or an architectural engineer, or a fire marshal, wouldn't you want to know what really happened in these buildings? If you were a pilot, or an FAA employee, wouldn't you want to know which NORAD employee stood down, failed to requisition intervention or just plain messed up that day?

To dismiss the overwhelming evidence that explicitly shows how hundreds of questions remain unanswered suggests a cover-up by our government. Conservative thinking has taught us to keep government in check 100% of the time.

More and more people are joining the 9/11 truth movement. We are unstoppable. To deny the smidgeon of facts presented here and the many others unmentioned is akin to being like those who have denied the Holocaust. It's intellectually dishonest.

Go ahead and give this a thumbs down if your Patriotism is of the cheapest kind. Yours is the kind that our forefathers would have laughed at. They demanded that we question authority, as they did. Our Constitution provides us with the means to explore the truth and to keep the government in check. But even the Constitution has been threatened as of late.

So, give it a thumbs down if you wish to cling to your Cheap Patriotism and your unconditional loyalty to a President and a Government that has demonstrated nothing but contempt for Accountability, Truth, Constitution, and most importantly - the 9/11 victims, their families and surviving rescue workers who continue to suffer the loss of their loved ones.

Peace, may the truth be brought forward and the guilty be brought to justice.

How can gun control really work? The people who would obey the new laws wouldn't be breaking the law in the first place. Criminals don't follow the law anyway. The countries with strong gun control in place have higher crime rates. We have laws about drugs and we still have drug trade and abuse. Its easier to rob people if you know you, the criminal, are the only one with a gun.

...and the best looking pictures of victims. The suspects always look disheveled with a wierd look on their face and unkempt hair and they always find a smiling picture of the victim in a suit, dress, or family pic. I'm not giving sympathy to suspects, I'm just wondering if anyone else has noticed this.

I'm referring to the poor guy who hung himself yesterday on his webcam while people online watched. Some of the people urged him to go ahead and do it. I can't believe the depravity of the human soul. I think the ones who urged him to take his own life should be presecuted and jailed. What do you think?

It took us decades to recover from the debacle in Viet Nam and they did not follow us home to continue the war on American soil. These enemies will not be so timorous. This congress should be called the Cowardly Congress and all impeached for being gutless.

Just wondering how people get their daily news. Do you watch local news, national news, read the newspaper, use the internet/certian website or do you not care about daily news story's.

I am writing a paper about suicide in Japan, and one of the questions I raised is that in Japan, suicide does not come as a shock to them, unlike in other countries, especially in the West.
Is this because of the fact that during the early feudal times, death was preferred than suffering?

Links to sites and articles are welcome.
Thank you very much.
