its been 5 years now since 911. ive always imagined some kind of revenge. does any one feel unsatisfied ?

Question

911

Answer 1

I always felt like we should have done massive bombing of all Muslim countries every anniversary of 9/11 for about 20 years at least. That way, even the countries that weren't involved would start to realize that they need to 'police their own.'

Answer 2

The problem is that most American people feel that no definite form of revenge had taken place to atone for 9/11.

If 2 days after the event the US had captured or killed Bin Laden most Americans would have felt that justice had been done.

The problem is that Bin Laden is still about (or at least "unfound"). Iraq is still a major problem with US soldiers still being killed. Afghanistan is nothing to shout about either.

So yes, many Americans will feel unsatisfied about 9/11.

Answer 3

The reason you feel unsatisfied is because all we've managed to do in Afghanistan is kill thousands of innocents (Al Qaeda still fully operational and Bin Laden runs free). The problem is, terrorism renders our massive military machine useless. How the hell do you get revenge on someone who took their own life for a political agenda. You can't kill a suicide bomber can you?

The answer is not more bombs, this creates more terrorism and gives justification to their cause....

Answer 4

Let's see: the Taliban, which supported al-Quaeda, was overthrown; a large number of al-Quaeda operatives have been killed or arrested and subjected to torture; Saddam Hussein, a dictator who didn't even have anything to do with 9/11, has been overthrown and arrested; and vast numbers of innocent civilians in Afghanistan and Iraq have been slaughtered; and both Afghanistan and Iraq will probably be puppet states of the US for the foreseeable future. How much more revenge do you need? It would be nice if bin-Laden's head was mounted on a stick and paraded through the streets of New York, but you'll have to ask your government why they choose to let him remain free...it's not as if they don't know where he is.

Answer 5

You know I always felt we had to stop terrorism.
I never thought about revenge.
I also did not loose anyone in 911. It was a horrible day and I will never forget it. I know it was horrible for those that lost lived it and lost.
But I don't look at protecting ourselves and arresting the people who did it as revenge

Answer 6

Yeah, it's been 5 years and the one thing I want is to NEVER hear about the event again. So I'm unsatisfied because people can't freaking move on.

Answer 7

Well considering we are in Iraq killing thousands upon thousands of innocent civilians, yes VERY unsatisfied....

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.....rise above revenge and seek understanding instead, and learn to forgive...

Good luck, and much peace to you!

Answer 8

I'm not that interested in revenge, but I'm certainly not satisfied, nor do I feel safer. Osama Bin Laden is still out there & Al Qaeda and similar terrorist groups are growing. As a nation, we have taken our eyes off the prize & likely will regret that we did so when the next Al Qaeda attack hits the U.S. mainland.

Answer 9

I am not happy because,the American can not capture Bin La din and there were so many problems in Iraq war that costs the American taxes payers trillion of dollars.( Middle Class ) But the faulty rich 2% sit tight and pay no penny.(sad )The people still have to watch their backs when they travel around the U.S. and the world because,we can not get rid of terrorism groups around the world.Tell me yahoo answer how can we satisfied when our troop still over ea and the fight never ended.

Answer 10

Bin Laden envisioned us invading and failing in Afghanistan, like the Soviets did. I'm disapointed we where unable to capture him so far, (he is probably in Pakistan or Iran now, where we can't send our troops), but I'm satisfied that we dismantled his operation to the point of it being a loosley fragmented series of radicals who are increasingly being stripped of safe havens and financial support, (the fact that we have still not been hit again, and we have dismantled hundreds of terror cells in the US is evidence of that). Revenge is nice, but prevention is more desireable.
