War.... (Historical: 9/11 discussion thread)

[Puke]

danm man, who cares who has a right to what land? we stole this land from the natives, we took hawaii by military force, europe has changed borders more times than i can count, the holy land has been changing hands since before the crusades, who gives a ****?

Israel invaded, we put them there, and they are our puppet state, and our method of exerting influence in the region. its good for us, bad for the poor guys on the west bank, and its their tough ****. thats probably why they dont like us very much. Like the Native Americans believed, you cant own land or have any inherant rights to it. but we sure as heck controll it right now, and i dont see that changing very soon. I dont think anybody is going to find a crusty piece of papyrus in a jar under the dead sea, and realize that its an inditement from god to give back ownership of specific parts of the world to its rightfull owners.

I was having a conversation with god just the other day over a couple of beers, and he specifically told me that the hollywood hills were my rightfull land. the bad news was he didnt think i would be able to collect on it. The Jews and the Muslims are in a similar situation of not being able to collect, but they're worse off because god didnt personally draw it out for them with a magick marker on a realestate map like he did for me.

what a silly thing to argue about. maybe it belongs to the cromagnans that us homosapiens slaughtered on our way up the foodchain. maybe we should reanimate a friggin ice man by impregnating an ape with his DNA and grant it all to him.

wow, that warms my black little heart. it really does. but to the defense of some of those countries on whom fault is placed:

we owed the French. we poo poo them alot, but we would have had our asses handed to us in 1812 if they did not bail us out. i dont like to admit that very often, but its true. and as for them ****ting on us in the streets of paris, 1 - American tourists are some of the lamest, most arrogant, ignorant ****s on the planet. and 2 - the French are rude to everyone, even each other. they cant help it.

and i believe that AIRBUS is suppose to put boing and lockheed to shame as far as airliners go. sure, our military planes are lightyears ahead, but I think that airbus wins on the commercial market.

I also have to give props to our friends in England, who did lend a big hand cleaning up some of our nastier oil spills in the past, and whom continue to support our childlike pestering of Iraq.

other than that, I have to humbly agree with the entire thing, and offer a heartfelt thanks to our northern neighbors (whom, I might add, kicked no small amount of *** in WWI, and are superb, constructive participants in any global crisis.)

Gordon Sinclair died in 1984.

The speach was penned in 1973 and was in context with Trudeau's ideoligy to push Canada's culture away from American's culture.

It was a strong speach then and still remains a strong speach.

If you wish to read about Mr. Sinclair or hear this speach in his own words go to

Man some of these Posts have really irked me and now I am going to RANT A bit....

NO country deserves what happened tuesday -just because of foreign policies! Especially to have weapons of mass destruction used on them. The explosive power of that 767 jet was pretty close to 1 kiloton when loaded with fuel and ramming a buildng at around 400 knots. With the weight and speed of that plane it was approx 123 g's of force hitting that building.

Europeans certainly shouldnt be calling the kettle black- look at your own history - Europe has a bloody and dark history abroad for several centuries and it continues today. I am sick of the America is the big bad guy rhetoric. Bombing the US just because its government wont let the Israels be destroyed and we support our allies upon request makes the US evil ?! - what a load of crap. You dont see the USA occupying or invading countries at random. We defend our allies (kuwait) and strike back at those who blow up our people and embassies (african embassies).


I would agree with anyone who said that what the Israel's tactics against the palistinians is totally wrong and an obvious failure. Its easy to be the oppressor when you have the power, But Its doesnt justify killing women children and men who are completely innocent. The US gov policies are no worse than any other western govenment.

Maybe some people dont get it - this attack isnt an just an attack on the US, its an attack on humanity, and the world. Osma Bin ladin's cronies tried to ram the Eiffle tower 2 -3 years ago and the French foiled the plot and stopped the 747 from leaving the airport. SO This was not his first try.
Just remember - now that its been done- Someone else will try again - and your country maybe next.

As for YANK bashing by the British, I am british living in the US for 34 years. You must realise Church Hill practically beg the US to get into WWII because the british were hanging on by their finger nails and didnt have the Industrial might to fight alone. the US government let Pearl Harbor happen because the citizens of the US didnt want anything to do with a european war and they had to be made angry to get involved.
Everyone in this country knows that America didnt win the war on its own, Russia and other western powers were essential to victory.
I also want you to remember The USA rebuilt Europe after it was reduced to rubble and the US and never got repaid. That was american citizens tax dollars given freely and without strings.

For those who think I am a raging american citizen - your damn right we have alot to be angry for this Last few days and the longer the body count gets the more pissed off this country is going to get, its going to be scarey, its already getting that way.

4,700+ people are missing and the pile of rubble is still 6+ stories high, with 10 city blocks wiped out.
The NYC mayor has requested 11,000 more body bags on top of the 30,000 already used- get the picture? These are not terrorism casualties - they are numbers that are seen on major battle fields in major wars.

Its just been announced that they are considering calling up the reserves... maybe its going to sink in with the rest of the world now, A war was started on tuesday.

God help the bastards who are involved and the countries that harbor them. They will unfortunately pay in a big way.

What a sad time.

Keep in mind when that was written. actually, given the support that's come in, playing that over..and over.. like seems to happening is downright disrespectful.

This is what I got say.

I will live free or I will die fighting for it. No in between.

You people who think we are stupid, arrogant, and pathetic, you know what, I take that as a compliment. Because we could have sat back, and let all those petty dictators run you over.

How many of you would be alive now if Hitler succeeded? How many would know freedom if Stalin raged unchecked? How many americans would be free if the South had won? Where would Israel be without America? Would the Balkans be at peace today? What would China and the Pacific look like with the Japanese Empire today? Would Freedom be known if America didn't rebel so long ago?

I'll tell you... You owe more than you think to this country and the ideals we are founded upon.

I say.... REMEMBER THE TWIN TOWERS!

EDIT - I send thanks to all the people and governments that have looked past thier petty differences and united with the American Republic.
