Was 911 a provoked attack?

Question

The US government states that American was not provoked and just an innocent by-stander in this tragic event. Can it be possible that these mostly Republican supporters of retalitory measures are just furthering their deceptive strategy and strenghting a pathological political agenda?

Nearly 3000 US deaths from 911---Nearly 3000 deaths from the Iraq warring!!?

Answer 1

What 'pathological political agenda' exactly?

According to Osama Bin Ladin himself, the 9/11 attacks were because 1) our support for Israel and 2) What we were doing in Iraq at the time.

The question you have to ask then is, who is Al Qeada and what standing to they have to decide that our support for Israel and our Iraq operations were wrong? Is it OK for ANY group of people to make things right from what they believe to be wrong using violent attacks against anybody they please?

The establishment of modern day Israel was done by diplomacy, not violence. The Iraq operations was the result of Iraq's leader, Saddam Hussein, invading another country for the purpose of taking over that country and possibly others in the middle east - and subsequently to prevent: 1) Hussein from committing mass murder on his own citizens; and 2) prevent Hussein from gaining WMD's. What makes Al Qeada right in retaliating for these things and America wrong for engaging in them?

Answer 2

Provoked? Not really. Surely, the jihadists would use any stupid reason to attack us, whether they were actually affected by it or not.

They claim it is because of our support of Israel, yet this affects them only because they cannot bear to see Jews live. They claim it is because of what was going on in Iraq, yet we weren't doing anything especially bad - considering how much worse Saddam treated the Shiites.

As for the 'deceptive strategy' or the 'pathological agenda', perhaps you could explain just what the strategy and agenda are. Us conservatives can only observe and comment on reality, so we need the insight of someone with less contact with reality to explain these to us.

Answer 3

"A pathological polticial agenda?" Wow that is pretty profound. How deep could GW's agenda be when his term is almost up. Oh wait the left probably thinks he has the power to reverse term limits and will became an all powerful "evil axis". Wake up America we are at war, would you rather have suicide bombers parking their cars next to your childs school bus. I know I can't change your opionion, but atleast stop and think, genocide is real, the thousands of unmarked graves that litter the streets of Iraq, filled with woman and children are real. Do you want that here? Do you want the street in your home town to look like the streets of Baghdad. Ya I think the "evil" Republicans have an agenda, an agenda to protect America. You can blame it on oil or whatever vehicle the Left wants to push today, I blame it on life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Protect my children!!!!!!!!!!! Love our soldiers and respect the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!

Answer 4

Defiantly, YES. US was and still interfering with other nations affair. The support for Israel on the expense of Palestinian people is the main and major issue. But also equal is the attacking of Iraq in 1990 and the mass killing of 100,000 Iraqis in the process. The whole country was destroyed, southern Iraq is full of radio activity due to depleted Uranium. Thousands of Cancer cases are recoded. This is just a little thing of what the US did to Iraq. Just imagine this is happening to you, would you like the invader?

Answer 5

You'll find two people answering this. Those who say there is, and those who say there isn't.

It's all a matter of interpretation.

For those who say there wasn't, obviously you have to admit you're mistaken, because no one just goes to blow up something without a reason. I think your point is that the reasons aren't valid.

For those who say there is, obviously that's correct. However anyone who thinks that there was a legitimate reason is half retarded.

The reason isn't because of Israel or the US military in Saudi Arabia as claimed by Osama.

The REAL reason is because we allow our women to walk without burkas, drive, get an education and don't force them to live a life of servitiude. They're not fighting our interests, but the permutation of the american culture into their backward nations.

They can't accept that. And as such they want to strike back.

If you look at it, the spread of western culture really has only occured in the middle east in the last ten years. When have the terrorists really started to strike?

If the war was because of US policy, why do you think the attack didn't come sooner? The US has been supporting Israel for quite a while now, and the military has been in Saudi Arabia for about 16 years now.

The fact of the matter is that they have idealogical reasons for their attacks. It may seem trival to us (because it is), but to these cavemen it's a reality they can't live without.

Answer 6

911 became performed with the help of th eAmericans themselves. inspect the evidence! Did everybody tutor it that Osama became to blame for that. Bush had no evidence..... and there is extra evidence. Did everybody word that how did the towers fall down. that would basically ensue if dynamite is used to blast the construction. through fact had the aeroplane been the only reason then the towers does not have fallen down over actual as they did. they could habe been broken like a pencil. in addition to, twin Towers in simple terms took like 10 minutes to fall. while good judgment says this form of extensive construction could have required great warmth and so plenty extra time to fall than the twin Towers. no one became jealous of u . s . a . of america, Bush in simple terms needed conflict.... TW ok

Answer 7

I believe the provocation was only in the minds of the 9-11 terrorists, whatever it was, real or imagined, it didn't come close to justifying the attack on so many innocent lives.

Answer 8

they were provoked thts why they blew up the towers but they shudnt hav done tht bcos after tht all over the world now muslims are branded as terrorists they cant go to another country without thorough checking and also the Americans just wanted a reason to go to afghanistan and iraq to capture the oil wells there

Answer 9

yet another conspiracy theorist throws his unwanted opinion of the government.

So I suppose we scheduled the bombing of pearl Harbor? The bombing of the oklahoma city building? Cobolt Towers?

Once again, get a grip.

Edit 10:33 AM - 3222 people died on 9/11. If you can't even get that number right, you don't need to be accusing anything.

Answer 10

The U.S. never provokes anything!!!!!!

It s just an innocent bystander and gets drawn into these horrible situations.
Thank goodness thy have God on their side and will show the world a better way.

Go George Go

Just wondering how many of the deaths at the Trade centre were US citizens
