A 9/11 Reality Check

If that's what Saddam was told he shouldn't have been so gullible. In any event, he was given more than 6 months to back off and given a final deadline. He played roulette and lost.
GB did what he said he'd do. Unless he parked marines inside every Kurd district there wasn't much else to do. The no-fly zone was pretty air tight.

Canadians still put on black ribbons and remember 14 dead women. We call their lost lives a 'massacre'. And you want to hold up the lives of 3000 and pretend they don't deserve their day of remembrance? The image burned in our minds, and you seem to try to pass it off as trivial?
If you want to make sure the 6 million jews get their time, well, they do, but you're free to add more of your time in if you like. If you want to make sure the Vietnamese lost get their time, you make sure to remember it. YOU remember what's important to you, and leave it to everyone else to remember what's important to them. But 8 mere years after the fiery images, don't expect everyone else to shrug it off with 'meh, there's been worse'.
This so easily could have been posted tomorrow, and still bore its point out.

"YOU remember what's important to you"....
Personally, I don`t choose which tragic world event to remember in any particular order nor how. When the anniversary arrives, I try to recall any new and relevalent information discovered on why, since the previous year and opine from there.
As for when I express my point of view ( or c/p a particular write up), I believe timing is everything with today`s (North American) society and our short memories.
We need to taste more of what we dish out, to get us up to par with the rest of the world.

JBeee, I have heard slightly different version of it. If your aunt had a moustache, we would call her uncle.
Tell me about slant-drilling and the outcome of that investigation. For all I know you might be in the same leagues as Anna's squibs.
According to THIS conservative..........
Would have saved the lives of 100,000 Shia murdered by Saddam after the First Gulf War.
Would have spared the lives of most of the people killed in the Second Gulf War, as Saddam's military power was completely crushed in Kuwait.
Would have saved billions of dollars spent to set up and execute the second war.
Would have avoided the disasterous decline in respect aster the WMD fiasco.
What boggles my mind is that people are arguing over whether 91 was or was not an inside job. It scoots around the real issue - that the US used it as a reason to go on a killing rampage. I don't blame GWB, he is an idiot. Cheney and his cabal on the other hand are criminals and should be charged with at least profiteering in crimes against humanity.
