No, not at all. We are in the US section of a forum talking about why someone else attacked America. Of course I'm going to talk about America.

I don't approve of my government either, I have said this several times. However, your government has been far more actively involved in the politics of other countries.

What they are saying sounds rational to me. If there was a foreign country that spent the last few decades killing my family and friends, trying to control the political system of my country and neighboring countries, I would be angry at them to. Also, your government has a history of lying in order to go to war, for example, the gulf of Tonkin incident.

What are you basing your logic off of? There are many democratically elected leaders that the US over threw to put one of their puppets in power. The US doesn't give a rats ass about spreading democracy. When all is said in done in Libya, I want to know who owns the oil.

I don't think you know them at all, perhaps if you got to know them you would find out that they are not so different then you.

Not our enemies, maybe your enemies, not mine.

I understand what you guys are saying, but there is no way in hell the market could of been so leveraged if not for such low interest rates. That was the problem with the economy, there was too much debt, there was over inflation, now the solution we are told is more debt and more inflation, I bet we will get the same endgame...a tanking economy.

Buddy, listen to the the attackers reasons why they attacked, they aren't lying. Why are you simply discrediting what they are saying?

Are you serious?

Well if you guys thought I was being irrational before, you may want to throw me into the loony bin after what I have to say here...Let's try listening to what the people who attacked America had to say about the reasons why they attacked America. I know what your thinking, that is the stupidest idea ever but I thought since we live in such a stupid world that I might as well throw the idea out there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KiKyWJRRjnU

The role of the military should not be to be the strong arm for corporations, the military should be for national defense only. You act like the Actions that America has taken were for the greater good of everybody, you do realize hundreds of thousands of people have died because of this. What if a country invaded Canada for our oil, what if they started killing innocent civilians, how would you feel? What if a foreign country took out our government and installed their own government, how would you feel?

I wish we would. There is a reason why I don't support any of the big 3 parties. If we are attacked then we shouldn't be shocked.

Really, I already said what I meant several times. I wouldn't say it would be justified but if it did happen we would know exactly why it happened.

Yet again, I didn't say they deserved it. I am saying that a terrorist attack should have been predictable based on America's foreign policy over the past decades.

I have never said we or anyone deserves to be attacked and killed, I don't support killings, what I am saying is the reason why people did something like 9/11 is directly related to foreign policy.

Oh, ya, I am saying the very same for Canada, that is why I said we. Any member country of NATO that is supporting these wars.

I don't understand.

I am not saying they should, I am saying that if we continue to go on killing people and messing with the politics of other countries then we should expect hatred in return and the possibility of violent retaliation.

I don't see anything wrong with his post. He didn't condone their actions or anything and it's not like innocent civilians aren't being killed from these wars that preceded 9/11. The US has been actively involved in middle eastern politics for several years, the US did have it coming to them.

Yes, exactly.

I think it silly that we think 3000 deaths is a horrible tragedy yet hundreds or thousands of deaths have occurred from the wars that followed 9/11 and nobody seems to care. This world is really messed up, the government claims that the wars that are occurring right now are humanitarian so if you don't support them, you seem like a bad person.

I know...Obama just announced that he will pump hundreds of billions of dollars more into the economy. This won't solve the problem, this will only lead to more debt and inflation which will hurt the economy more. Buy gold and silver.

The easy credit of the 20's created the depression. Should of never allowed banks to create money out of nothing with fractional reserve banking. That is why the depression happened.

They will need to raise the ago soon, SS is already paying out more then it takes in. There is a reason ponzi schemes are illegal, they don't work. I don't know why you guys think the government is capable of running one. More debt isn't a solution, too much debt was what created the problem. What about the people who don't own the corporation which I will assume is the greater majority, screw them?

You see things differently when you are looking from the outside into an empire then looking from the inside out.
