The united states deserved what happened 9/11 2001? & should the media limit news on israel.?

Question

There are no shortage of voices now saying the war in iraq was a mistake. Once justified by the tragedy on 9/11. Now that it is clear the reaction was wrong, we should now move to the cause of the attack so we can prepare and better respond in the future. U.S. policies around the word caused the attack and our response has been to treat the people in these regions worse and kill just as many americans ourselves with this grab for oil. Another cause is constantly making israel issues our own. The u.s. was never threatened by the middle east. To win the war on terror, we must stop causing it. By destabilising every country that isn't in europe. I am tired of children who don't have food becoming "rebels" with a machine gun in one hand and a cia training manual in the other. The Valerie Plame incident highlights the fact, we have agents everywhere doing all kinds of dirt. Israel should not top our news, it should rotate with other countries- they are important too, if not more.

Answer 1

go away

Answer 2

You make some good points. However- terrorism is a poor response that is rarely (if ever) met by anything other than full scale military action. Revolution on the other hand has a much better track record. With the onset of globalization it is much more efficient and profitable to go through less violent channels.

"There are no shortage of voices now saying the war in iraq was a mistake."
That doesn't make them right.
"Now that it is clear the reaction was wrong"
Poor timing for the continuation of something we should have finished a decade ago.
"The u.s. was never threatened by the middle east."
This statement is kinda inaccurate.
"Israel should not top our news"
agreed! but you can thank the media for that.

TECHX69- if you're going to debate with adults try acting like one. Changing your s/n would probably be a good start.

Answer 3

Dude, no matter what side of the aisle we're on, we can all agree as Americans on one thing: The people inside the Pentagon, the Trade Center Towers, and those planes did NOT deserve their fate. The terrorists were retaliating against a governmental ideal and decided to kill innocent people because of it. The civilians had nothing to do with what the hijackers were fighting agaist. So no, we didn't deserve what happened to us. And the media is doing it's job by reporting the news about Israel. So no they shouldn't limit their coverage.

Answer 4

I respect your opinion, but...you're wrong. Here's why, and this is going to be a long one. Do you know when the war on terrorism should have started? How about a timeline?
-November 1979: group of Iranian students attacked and seized the American Embassy in Tehran. Then-President Carter ordered a counter-attack which failed.
-April 1983: a large vehicle packed with high explosives was driven into the US Embassy compound in Beirut. Upon explosion, it killed 63 people.
-October 1983: a large truck heavily laden down with over 2500 pounds of TNT smashed through the main gate of the US Marine Corps headquarters in Beirut and 241 US servicemen were killed.
-December 1983: another truck loaded with explosives was driven into the US Embassy in Kuwait.
-September 1984: another van was driven into the gate of the US Embassy in Beirut.
-April 1985: a bomb explodes in a restaurant frequented by US soldiers in Madrid
-August 1985: a Volkswagen loaded with explosives is driven into the main gate of the US Air Force Base at Rhein-Main, 22 are killed
-November 1985, a cruise ship, the Achille Lauro is hijacked; an American in a wheelchair is singled out of the passenger list and executed.
-April 1986: Two civilian jetliners were bombed: TWA Flight 840 which killed 4 and
-1988: Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, killing 259.
-January 1993: two CIA agents are shot and killed as they enter CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia.
-February 1993: a group of terrorists are arrested after a rented van packed with explosives is driven into the underground parking garage of the World Trade Center in New York City. Six people are killed and over 1000 are injured.
November 1995: a car bomb explodes at a US military complex in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia killing seven service men and women.
-June of 1996: another truck bomb explodes only 35 yards from the US military compound in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. It destroys the Khobar Towers, a US Air Force barracks, killing 19 and injuring over 500.
-October 2000- The USS Cole is fired on while refueling near Yemen, which killed 17 servicemen.
Then September 11th happened.
Yes, war is horrible, and it's sad. But think about what happened the last time a country dared attack us (Pearl Harbor): We dropped a nuke on them! Nothing we could do to Iraq or Afghanistan could be as bad as that. Not only that, but our war was never with the Afghanis, or the Iraqis.
With that timeline, do you HONESTLY still think this is about OIL?!
As for your second question, yes and no. What's going on in Israel is the biggest thing going on in the world, besides the heat wave, the North Korea missile crisis, and the Iran nuclear technology crisis. We're fighting man AND nature right now, and so is everyone else.

Answer 10

I agree to an extent, no one deserves anyone killing them over a religion, but be prepared for a rash of responses that don't with a lot of insults.

Peace.
