The 9/11 attack was supposedly done by al-Qaeda, not by the government of Afghanistan or its people. Since al-Qaeda has been stopped, there is no basis for continuing the war whose costs continue to climb and nobody has offered to pay for it.

What do you mean Al Qaeda has been stopped? Who do you think the Taliban are? They are just as deadly if not more so.

I've heard those reports and wonder if al-Qaeda isn't the modern day T'ugs whose menace was imaginary except in the minds of the British imperialists who used it as a 'justification' for their attacks on the Indian subcontinent.

Japanese housewives invested heavily in the war in A-Stan.
And black ops drug sales just like the last war in A-Stan.

CIA sold the "Freedom of Afghanistan" Gold Seal red hashish the KGB sold the "Black Hash" to North America, UK, Australia and Europe and every fliipin' govt seems to have a piece of heroin pie.

It's taxation of the hearts and souls of human beings.

I not sure where JBeee got his numbers from. Here are the actual casualties figures for both Iraq and Afghanistan and as you can see US deaths in Iraq are far higher. BTW although the link states the casualties as "coalition casualties," nations other than the US suffered almost no deaths. Britain has the highest number after the US with a total of 179 deaths for the entire war.

Don`t wait for main-stream media to poll on the incident (or subject). That would be admitting guilt.


I rarely join in on such bantering as this thread but I couldn't keep quite on this one.

More often than not I do disagree with US policy but like our own government they don't give a s**t about our opinion. On 9/11 the citizens (the people) bore the brunt of the consequences of the policies of others.

Also I never heard that the world sympathized with these murders because they were never heroes just plain murders.

but the taliban has not been stopped, and if left free to do their dirty deed, they would become the
government of afghanistan.

taliban and al-qaeda are twin sisters.

911 was an attack on the world society, many people in the towers were not u.s. citizens, but citizens
of canada and other countries.

It was a message to many, and needed a response from many.

Apparently, the over 700 number includes US troops. Which I thought strange. When it talks about "coalition forces" I thought it was going to be about non-US international troops.

Some of us unexpectedly made/are making very good money off of these attacks too.

More than who would be willing to admit?

My guess is most NATO countries leaders, felt a sense of joy and jubilation in thier hearts when it happened, then done a 380 when called upon to kiss Uncle Sam`s ass to avoid possible future retribution from `the most powerfull nation on earth`. lol


I can't believe the (amassed) crock-''o-sh*t that you post, all supported by the notion that you "guess" how NATO and all the supporting countries might think.

Well, my "guess" is this: You are one of the biggest warmongers that I have ever come across, but whereas some of the nations/factions central to this issue base their actions on some form of politics or belief-system, yours is founded exclusively on an irrational hatred for the USA. It is sickening to continually observe your deliberate actions in dehumanizing and demonizing the individuals that are victims in your target group and therefore justify the pain and death that is visited upon them.

The NATO treaty says an attack on one is an attack on all.

North American treaties that we have with the USA say an attack on one is an attack on all.
NATO troops should be patrolling US streets then. That is the way to keep them safe, actually an overhaul of how they do business in the international community would also be a requirement to make them truly safe.


No one willing to post the numbers for the number of citizens of Afghanistan that have died in support of a corrupt US foreign policy?

If Canadian soldiers are dieing in that cause we have nobody to blame but ourselves.

Now you are just being silly.

24 Canadians died on 0-11.

The NATO treaty says an attack on one is an attack on all.

North American treaties that we have with the USA say an attack on one is an attack on all.

WE, therefore, were attacked on 9-11.

In my analogy below, perhaps you would like to point out where Germany attacked Canada? Or North America?

So?

What if we had done nothing at all?

We gave the Bin Laden what he wanted.

Macho BS got in the way of common sense.

That isn't our business. After all, the Minutemen were considered the Taliban of their day and it's a good thing nobody helped the British or we'd all be screwed up as can be.
