OT: Free speech?

Well said Narf- you summed up my own feelings eloquently.

I think that falls under the Duhhhhhhhhh file guys. So it goes without saying.

I remember back in 1990 before Desert Storm happened that there were over 100 deaths of military people from various sorts of accidents. Then the war started, and you didn't hear too much of that because of the war casualties. But there was really stupid accidents that happened that I heard from my unit when they were over there. One guy was showing off some rocket propelled grenade when it went off and struck someone in their tent. Fortunately, that person survived, although he was messed up. So yeah, there can be some boneheaded accidents. But we need to support the troops over there now, and not make them feel like their idiots for being over there. And yes, we still are at war. It may not be an officially declared war, but they took the first shot by destroying the twin towers. It won't be over until we can wipe out this extreme form of religion.

Huh, for your information: Your in the f**ing wrong country.

Is there really still people who believe Iraq was behind 9/11 ?

The irony is that we've enabled the very forces that are most anti-american by invading Iraq.

I thought that this war was against weapons off mass destruction (never found), and had nothing to do with 9-11 and Islam. But correct me if I'm wrong.

I believe it was Nova or some show on the History channel that connected the dots to Iraq. During the gulf war many Kuaties dissappeared only to return as new people. These people then moved to Afganastan and joined the Taliban and Aliquida. The new people were not the same people who dissappeared, but were in fact Iraqie secret police or intel operatives. Or so the show indicated. I found it to be very professional the way they discussed this and if it is accurate then yes, Iraq did have something to do with 9/11. Remember it was Iraq who planned to assinate G. Bush Sr. and had put a bounty on the heads of every American in the middle east. But that is old news.

In retrospect, I think it is plausable that Iraq did have something to do with 9/11 based upon the evidence provided, but how much they were in volved, well that we may never really know.

(Please for give my spelling.)
