Are you implying that when a country suffers a terrorist attack they should do NOTHING? While it's not necessarily a cause for war, more often than not it will be. No sane nation would allow such attacks to be conducted unpunished.
The 9/11 attacks targeted American civilians, and no group in particular. Who would you say the attack was directed towards, and how can you think it wasn't America as a whole?
In '93 an attack did occur at the WTC, but the people were caught. Clinton had the power to make a decision, and he chose not to launch military operations. Same thing with Oklahoma. Those are his decisions to make and he made them, but you can't argue either way that the outcome was better or worse than attacking the terrorists head on.

But the goal of the zealots, who represent many many more of a similar mindset, was to destroy the financial center of this country, thus destroying our economy, leading to our downfall. America was also attacked when Timothy McVeigh bombed the building in Oklahoma City. It was just attacked from within.

I understand your point, but it took many months and money to plan the 911 attack. Iraq may have had somehting to do with it, but I believe that we will never know REALLY what happend or WHO was behind it all.
All we know is that 911 was an act of war.
I was a soldier for 10 years. I remember taking the oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign or domestic. Timothy McVeigh committed an act of war, but it was him an a few freaks using fertilizer as a bomb. Not all to different than Columbine High School shootings.
So, I do agree that 911 was an act of war, but I believe with all my heart that Bush used 911 as a way to further his own wealth. He is an Oil Tycoon and he jumped at the opportuinity to use 911 attack as a way to make himself richer. He is heavily invested in oil and Iraq = Oil ...... it doesn't take a genius to figure out that Bush is greedy lier.

OK to make you feel smart lets say they blew up buildings with babies moms,dads.wives,husbands kids etc.the people who did it are American haters and waiting and planning the next attack in America from another country they are an army of their own they are called terrorists and they live to blow people up.so yes that is attacking America or who ever they get a chance to attack.

We were attacked in the name of another country/religion. The oklahoma bombing was some AMERICAN NUTJOB who was ticked off about something. The TERRORISTS (confirmed TERRORISTS), ATTACKED the twin towers, and the pentagon- a viable part of our GOVERNMENT- so sorry- but we were attacked for sure that day- it wasnt just some zealots bombing some building. .
We were attacked. Ask any person who was around that day.

So the difference (from your point of view) between an attack and zealots commiting terrorism is who is doing it?
I guess .. but you're just playing with semantics. A group of people performed an attaction to exterminate another group of people.
That is an attack, whether it is a country, a race or people who have "q"s in their name.

It is "United" States of America so the attack on 9/11 is against our fellow man

Actually it was a group of zealots that were being protected by a nation called Afganistan and if you remember we waited a month before taking military action against Afganistan if they would stop granting sanctuary for Bin Laden. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_on_Terrorism

They "attacked America" because they were from a different country. The OK bombing was a nutcase who was a citizen.
If you are indeed Mr. MOM then you should use better grammar than that. I can only hope that your children grow up to be smarter than you.

I tell you some thing my friend, blowing up the twin towers leaded America to fight the terrorism all around the world,they invaded Iraq as apart of that,but the real reason is
just to get (oil),man.... they killed thousands of innocents people ,and (bosh) is killing American soldiers by him self,
so wake up people of America and let him stop this vague
war.(so i think you know who destroyed twin towers)
