With the anniversary of 9/11 a week away - Is the world safer ?

Question

Al Quiada is now in Iraq where it was not operating when Sadam was in command -

Iran looms over the world as a possible nuclear power -

Russia and China seem bent on preventing sanctions against Iran using security veto's to nulify US requests or water them down significantly

The US is still in Iraq -

The war and or ocupation of Iraq is costing a huge sum of money some say 400 million per day others say less than that - but nonetheless - a hell of a lot of cash

The real estate market in the US is facing a melt down and effecting all levels of the US economy

The US dollar is at an all time low

There are now a few billion dollars in "put" options gambleing that the stock market will crash on or before Sept 21st of this year

On the up swing - there hasn't been one attack in the US since 9/11 2001 - but 6 years after the fact -

Are you safer now than you were 6 years ago ?

Answer 1

As long as the military Industrial complex and the prison industrial complex......

Capt-apparently you don't know how many have thought how easy it is to walk accoss the border w ith help from MS-13 .

Answer 2

Well the US or its citizens were getting attacked quite regularly before 911 and that has stopped. If all of Al Queda are in Iraq we have them contained. Iraq has had major progress. The real estate market was so inflated, this market is no different than what went on in the 90's. Do be such a negative Nelly, you'll get wrinkles for nothing. It's being handled. It was actually worse in the 60's. The only difference is we didn't have the Internet, or news 24X7. Think back and you will see.

Answer 3

You are a profit of doom and gloom. It's all just a cycle.
Other nuclear powers include Russia, China, USA. UK, France, India, Pakistan. Eventually, everyone will have it. Its a science that is available to everybody.

The US is still in Iraq. Iraq is a problem, but there will always be some problems in the world that we can not control.

The low dollar value means that we can sell our goods abroad. This keeps American people employed.

I own an apartment, If people will not buy or build, they will rent. I love this. The individual home market has a glut. It is overbuilt. The market is correcting this. Industrial and commercial real estate are doing very well.

The low US dollar is allowing American business to sell our goods overseas.

These put options are steadying force in the market.. Speculators are eventually always crushed.

Six years after the happening, what?

Safety is about the same. I am in a greater danger of being shot in the streets, than being injured by a foreign power.

Answer 4

no, but that has absolutely nothing to do with bush or iraq or anything. as long as terrorists are able to do what they did on 9/11, i will not feel completely safe. the fact is nobody in these 6 years would have been able to make as big a difference in all of this. if we would have attacked whatever other country that supports terrorism, (which if bush hadnt done something, he would have been in more crap than he is in now), we would still be in the same situation in terms of terrorists hating us and the threat level we face because of them.

Answer 5

This became final years message, ask your self what they are making plans this year! Houston, Texas, Harwin familiar Mall: the 1st actual save which you come returned to once you walk from the foyer of the construction into the procuring area Had this sign published on their door. the save is run by utilising Muslims. that's what it mentioned........ "we are able to be closed on Friday, 9-11, 2009 to commemorate the martyrdom of Imam Ali" Imam Ali flew between the planes into the twin towers. amazing huh?

Answer 6

You forgot,there are close to a million illegals crossing the border every year,many are criminals running away from their own country,others are crossing with tons of drugs,and the ones that come to work are doing it by stealing somebody's social security number and messing that victim's credit for the rest of his life,no we're not safe,and won't be with this president and this congress

Answer 7

we must forget the ward "safe " as long as those group of nut kings and presidents still ruling many countries ,...!!
for as long as they are having the resal power and the effecting wards , the conquered people in these countries will not stop fighting THEM , which leads to what we call now the terrorism.............................
and those rulers are always adding petrol to feed the fire,just to give their people a horrible pics. so that they let them on THROWN "to defend and protect their countries " against terrorists ..!!!!!!!!
THEY TELL LIES , AND THEY BELEIVE IT LATER !!!!!
THEY FEED THE HORROR THEN THEY CAN NOT STOP IT LATER TOO.....

Answer 8

As long as alqueda is in Iraq, they aren't in my town, I'm fine with that.
Thats the arguement I do not understand. Why are people upset that alqueda is in Iraq? Wouldn't you be happy? Let alqueda face our troops in Iraq. Or would you rather they were lurking around your hometown instead?

Answer 9

No, and no. But at least we have a president who continues to work to try to make it safer.

Answer 10

The only answer is HILLARY CLINTON for president.
