America -who killed the people in NY?

Question

It wasn't Saddam. But you killed him and 700.000 more Iraqis.
It wasn't Iran. But you call him terrorist.
Some people say it was an inside job. But that's another story.
Wasn't it Bin Laden? Why don't you find him at last and leave the rest alone?

''A fanatical, religious ideology of hatred and domination''. LeAnne that's exactly what USA is being accused of having in practice in their foreign policy.

What proof do you have? I saw what Powell showed at the UN and it was worse than Walt Disney's first Mickey Mouse draw...
But to get serious, if you wanted to make friends with the 1 billion Muslims, well, you failed...If you didn't attack a muslim country but helped one, and if you had tried to isolate AQ from the muslims by saying "They are our target, not you nor your religion" things would be different now...How can anyone believe that it wasn't the oil that led so many people to death in Iraq?

Answer 1

So you think that merely by getting rid of Bin Laden, the problem is solved? What about his followers? Will they just slink into the sunset and go away?

Answer 2

Oh, if only it were that simple.
A fanatical, religious ideology of hatred and domination slaughtered those people on 9/11. It wasn't a country, a leader or Bin Laden.
The true cause is much more complicated than a Bin Laden or a specific country - it is a wave of fanaticism referred to as jihad. As long as the militants are able to slaughter innocent people with pretty much impunity to further their agenda, they will fester, grow and continue.
I am proud that the United States and her true allies have confronted these thugs instead of reverting back to previous policies of inaction and no effective response to their attacks.
They can no longer indiscriminately murder innocent people with impunity - there will be serious consequences - and that's as it should be.

Answer 3

You're not really that simplistic are you?

You truly believe that if we find and prosecute 1 man then out of the blue 20 million violently fanatical Muslims will just lay down their arms, the deserts will bloom wildflowers, AK-47s will turn into shish-kabobs and Semtex into humus and we will all have a big "peace party" with the "Religion of Peace", do ya?

Is that what you believe? Because if it is we don't need your help right now.

You want to know who killed 3000+ people in the WTC. Middle Easterners at war with Western thought and philosophy. Most also happen to be Muslims some are just secular madmen.

It takes a simpleton to actually believe that the real threat is a guy that straps a bomb to his torso and walks into a cafe or a guy that flies a plane into a building. They are not a threat, its the guys that send them to do these things, its the guy that finances their operations.

We know as fact that Saddam used oil revenue to finance Hamas and Hezbollah, why is it such a stretch for you people to understand that some of that money probably went to al-Qaeda as well? We know as fact that Iran has given money and weapons to insurrectionists in Iraq and to terrorists including al-Qeada.

Guess what? These guys are not our friends, they want us destroyed. Maybe because of how we have interferred in their affairs maybe because they hate our ideology. Whatever, do you just want to lay down and die for them because of something that our predeccesors did to them or do you think you should fight back?

Edited: When the United Nations Oil-For-Food program was in effect, Saddam Hussein skimmed more than $21 billion from its coffers and sent some of it it directly to Hamas.


Hamas has a close working relationship with Hezbollah, the Lebanon-based terror organization that is one of Hamas’ major suppliers of weaponry. Hamas is best known for using violent methods — including suicide bombings against Israeli military and civilian targets — to destroy Israel and replace it with an Islamic Palestinian state.

Answer 4

Idiots killed them.

Idiots are people who:

-do nothing
-don't believe the US have anything to do with the result of 9/11
-don't believe the US foreign policies have anything to do with 9/11
-believe the US must push on with our foreign policies and must get nice response
-believe we must continue to do so and still must get nice responses
-don't believe that the US foreign policies are not for oil
-don't see the log in their own eyes but constantly pointing to the speck in someone's eye
-believe whatever their government tells them
-treat the media as the god of correctness
-and it goes on

Common, sometimes it is necessary to look at the negative effects to see the answer. A solution based mostly on positive effects has its shortcoming.

Don't we all want the world to be a better place? If so, why implement anything that contains even a 1% negative result? Call me unrealistic, but would too many of the 1% not a good thing? Anyone who ignores this fact is a complete idiot.

Answer 5

Most of these answers are shameful.
"Hussein killed more in his career...." - - what? how do u think he did that?? WITH US TAX DOLLARS - we funded his mass killings and trained his men.
"just THUGS.....Killing the innocent..." - yeah - the USA is a MAJOR THUG - killing many innocents: -

In 1953, motivated by its desire to control Iranian oil fields, Britain convinced the USA to overthrow the DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED Iranian leader, Mohammed Mossadegh. The project to overthrow Iran's government was code-named "Operation Ajax ".
Our CIA used its spies to implement the coup, from the US Embassy in Iran, in order to re-install Mohammad Reza Pahlavi as leader, and was motivated by the desire for preserving Western control of Iran's oil infrastructure. 300 were killed in this atrocity.

The result of this coup led to "discontent with the erosion of Iran's social mores, a sluggish economy, and other developments which caused widespread dissatisfaction with the regime of the Shah, leading to the 1979 Islamic Revolution." The STUDENTS (not the government) who took over the embassy, accused its personnel of being CIA agents plotting to overthrow the revolutionary government, just as the CIA had done to Mohammad Mossadegh in 1953. America, instead of diplomatic negotiations, attacked Iran with it's most complicated and advanced army units(Operation Eagle Claw April 24, 1980). Only when that failed, did they use diplomacy, which caused the releasment of Americans in January 20, 1981.

After this revolution, Iran's military was less than weak (it was disbanded) and Iraq took the advantage and invaded.
Iraq was finacially backed and TRAINED by the USA.
With more than 100,000 Iranian victims of Iraq's chemical weapons during the eight-year war, IRAN IS THE WORLD'S SECOND MOST AFFLICTED COUNTRY BY WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION — SECOND ONLY TO JAPAN. The total Iranian casualties of the war were estimated to be anywhere between 500,000 and 1,000,000.
One can say that the USA has played a stong hand TWICE with weapons of mass destrucion. - And currently, the USA has invaded Iraq for implementing what the USA actually payed for...**sigh**.
Meanwhile, Israel has anywhere from 75 -200 nuclear weapons, and is a country who has already, once before implemented a PRE-EMPTIVE strike on its surrounding nations: look up the 6 day war....

What happened next is most appaling (if one can even rate this...) The American government attacked Iran's COMMERCIAL FLIGHTon July 3, 1988:
Iran Air Flight 655 (IR655) was a commercial flight that flew from Bandar Abbas, Iran to Dubai, UAE. On Sunday July 3, 1988, this aircraft was shot down by the U.S. Navy Ticonderoga class guided missile cruiser USS Vincennes between Bandar Abbas and Dubai, killing all 290 passengers and crew aboard, including 38 non-Iranians and 66 children. The USS Vincennes was inside Iranian territorial waters at the time. According to the US government, the Iranian airbus was mistakenly identified as an attacking F14 fighter (which is an aweful joke, because it is very easy for a civilian [let alone military personell] to distinguish an airbus from a F14!!!) The U.S. government never admitted wrongdoing, nor apologized for the incident.
On top of this, the men of the Vincennes were all awarded combat-action ribbons.(I think that explains that they deliberately shot the commercial plane).
- Would this fly with any other country???? Think about it. If Iran blew up one of our civilian planes, in OUR waters......
Oh yeah - "poor America...Those evil Iranians"
- FOR SHAME!!!!!
Lets be responsible and learn history.


colarepublic: i really dont think oil in Iraq had anything to do with it...Iraq doesnt have that much.... but I DO think that taking over Afghanistan AND Iraq was for the soul purpose to surround Iran and to take THEIR oil..... think about it. Iran is now surrounded by the USA and has the second largest oil reserves in the world.....coincidence? i think not....

Answer 6

We should be after bin laden more aggressively, but he isnt the only terrorist out there. hussein needed to die, most of the iraqis who are dead needed to die. president whosy whatsit from iran needs to die along with his revolutionary guard.

Answer 7

Screw the rest- they deserve what they get, but you're right about Bin Laden. He's been breathing far too long.

Answer 8

Saddam actually killed more people in his career than were killed in 9/11. That's why he was captured, tried, and convicted. Perhaps America has more concerns than 9/11 alone.

Answer 9

No, no, no. Al Qaeda and Osama killed the people. the government did a very poor job in preventing it. That's all I can say.

Answer 10

Yes. But in Iraq there is lots and lots of oil.
