Where were they found? Isn't it possible to put them in a suitcase? In this specific event, how do we know what flights they would take, etc?

There is a world of hate, greed and just plain nonsense. Are there really people out ther that want to give thier lives for hate. God by what ever name we choose to call him gave us this precious gift.

With the terrorism going in the world right now, have you any fear about being hit some day? I believe no place is safe a hundred percent. But so far I refuse to be affraid. I feel for all those people who loose their lives because of wars, acts of terrorism and most of them are poor to begin with and are suffering because of egotistical battles. I wonder where all this violence will lead all of us.
What do you think?

Yeah, keep on believing everything you read in the paper. Become the puppets of the media. When people listen to everything they read or see, they are evidently deceived and are not being told the full truth. Take, for example, the recent photographer from reuters- a um...respectable source of news photos- who was just let go bcause he doctored images to make them look like Israel had dropped huge bombs on lebanon. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060806/ts_nm/mideast_reuters_dc And: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/5254838.stm

Or did you ever see the fake funeral the muslims held? They carried a "dead" person that the "Israelis Killed" on a stretcher in a huge mobbed funeral. Except, of course, the person fell off the stretcher mid-march and CLIMBED BACK ON! It was even caught on tape! http://www.factsofisrael.com/blog/archives/000012.html

Did you know that Hezbollah offers "guided tours" to photographers in which they stage scenes of death 'caused by Israel'? Yep! They

Well I find myself upset at the state of the world. Yet in my current position what can I really do about it? Well, this past Monday I was out for lunch and I saw a young Arabic woman waving a flag (it was colorful like a rainbow and had PEACE written on it) celebrating peace on our Red mile.
I came across a case study:
The effect of transcendental meditation vs. the crime rate of a city
It was found as the group of people increased the percentage of violent crimes (homicides, rapes and assaults) were decreasing.
Using this information I have tried to come up with a possible solution, where I may be able to be apart of a positive change and a brighter future for us all. What if 7 million people together meditated on peace? If peace inner and outer was our cause, what would the global effect be?

Pat Robertson has gone to Israel to be a cheerleader (just like Bush was a cheerleader) for the IDF as they bomb Lebanon back to the Middle Ages. But wait! Now, after saying that they would refuse to sign an agreement at the UN, the Israelis are making noises about signing an agreement. Why? Come on; what's wrong with a bloodbath for Jesus!
Did Jesus Christ tell the Israelis to stop? Why would they stop for him; they're Jewish! Does that mean Pat Robertson went to Israel for nothing? Can he ask Jesus for a refund on his airplane ticket? Does this mean that The Rapture will be delayed and all those southern red-state Christians which Karl Rove loves so much will not be swept into heaven, and that the Jews will not immediately convert to Christianity?
I'm really getting tired of Jesus delaying the Second Coming for so long. I have been waiting for a long time, and Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, Tim Lahay and Jerry Jenkins have made millions getting me to believe that Jesus would come.

Isn't it a strange coincidence that today's announcements occurred during Cindy Sheehan's protest in Texas? I think not. They will do anything to take attention away from her just cause.

Without Bushs vigilance and Blairs understanding of why he is so vigilant this operation would not have been thwarted.

Israel has attacked Lebanon unilaterally. It has used the excuse that “Hezbollah” had abducted two of its soldiers while there are thousands of Palestinians and Lebanese prisoners in Israeli jails. Israel has deliberately killed UNO observers without any fear of punishment from UNO and any other nation. Bush and Blair are fully supportive of Gross and State Israeli terrorism against the Christian and Muslim civilians of Lebanon. When Israel has attacked Lebanon, the question arises that where is the Lebanese army. Is it not fighting with Israeli army? Or all those who are fighting Israeli aggression is branded as Hezbollah so that Israel’s ally and agent Hezbollah gets credit and a picture of war is created and where Israel is portrayed as innocent & oppressed nation despite being the World’s number 1 Terrorist country. The Zionist terrorism encompasses all spheres of life including monetary terrorism, cultural ðical terrorism, judicial terrorism and medical and media terrorprism

If you were a terrorist...YES, A TERORIST...what would you have acomplished by blowing up multiple airlines en route from London to US, that you couldn't acomplish by just detonating and blowing yourself up in a large crowd...where there are more people and more to kill ??

Does terrorism in the sky symbolize something?
Is the goal to bankrupt the US, and a good start is to start with airlines?
...why go thru all the trouble to do this in the sky???

Stupidity is one thing the US has a lot of nowadays, besides debt. It is all over the place in huge amounts. Listen to Bush talk, stupidity. Listen to the democrats talk, stupidity. Go on the Internet, stupidity. Television, stupidity. Read the papers, stupidity. Talk to your fellow workers, stupidity. On answers.yahoo.com, stupidity. Your spouse, more stupidity. Your kids, obnoxious offensive stupidity. Christian, Jewish stupidity; you name it, we got it!
How can we package this stupidity in nice wrapping paper, put a red ribbon on it, and sell it? Americans are good at selling things, can this be sold too? Can we sell it to the Arabs for oil? Or Israel for weapons and vetoes on the UN Security Council? (On second thought, after this war with Lebanon, maybe Israel has enough stupidity of its own. We can charge more for HIGH OCTANE stupidity!) Or to China for Wal-Mart junk? Can we sell it for Supreme Court seats? Or cabinet level positions in government?
Oh, the possibilities!

I am a retired Special Forces NCO. I am considering going back overseas as a "High Risk" security contractor. My kids are very angry. Even my oldest son is unhappy and he is an active duty soldier currently in Special Forces training. I figured he would understand. As younger people what do you think?

I was thinking of donating to mental health research, programs developing third world countries, and the SPCA. I recently spoke with my doctor and mentioned the whole Stephen Hawking news that has to do with space exploration. He thought it would be a good idea to explore our inner space, like developing sustaining our lives in water. Good idea? I think it is.

Please hear me out, before you decide to hurl abuse at me.

What if all that you have heard and witnessed in the media is a lie?
Let's say the so called Jihadiz/terrorists are angry at us and want to blow us up.. do we seek to investigate why or ask our governments why they might be angry?
But we rather kill them right? besides... it's either them or us right?

What if they did not commit the crimes our governments have us believe?
Governments lie and deceive about virtually everything else, so what makes them exempt from what they tell us about the war of terror?

Do we listen because we don't have a choice?
We just want to be left alone and get on with our normal lives?

Our existence and safety is paramount?

Do our governments know this and play on this?
Maybe we should start to question our Leaders and demands proper answers since it us we the people who have elected and it is we the voters who should be heard and feared not the other way round.
