Pg 742- "Millions of innocent children are being killed as I speak they are being killed in Iraq without committing any sins."Osama Bin Laden 2001. He goes on to say that he respects, understands and almost congradulate the attackers of 9/11. Now weren't their innocent people killed in these attacks that Bin Laden raved about?? I think just to start out he is a hypocrite for saying one thing and then being offended.
However my agenda item is about how the united states tends to attack other countries. Bin Laden made the point that we have attacked, invaded and controlled countries, because ...we can. We had our own selfish reasons (ie. control of land, and industries like oil). We never thought that there would be a country that would come against us...the SUPERPOWER...well we attacked enough times made the world hate us and now we got what was coming to us. KARMA- What goes around comes around. Is it fair that we were attacked on 9/11? Or was it something that was inevitable?
There is no way or no how that ANYBODY can say that whatever happened at 9/11 was America's fault. If Iraq or Osama Bin Laden was mad at someone becasue of what was done to him or his country, he did not have any right to take it out on America. i definitely do not think that 9/11 was America's fault; i still think that people were confused. I would kind of like say that it was inevitable
Posted by: ChinazomOnubogu at April 11, 2005 03:11 PMI think that what happened on Sept. 11 was inevitable. How many years now have we involved ourselves in other countries affairs? I am not saying that was what happened we deserved but i think that it was bound to happen. Put it this way the lives that were lost on Sept. 11 are equal to those lives that America has taken away due to war. (this statement is not true in numbers but it is true in concept)
Posted by: Jasmine Urgent at April 11, 2005 03:37 PMI really do agree with what you said Jasmine-we've gone to war so many times with other countries or attacked other countries...look at Japan and the atomic bomb?..HELLO?!?!? Isn't that kinda like 9/11? Although we attacked Japan second we kinda hit them hard like the terrorists did to us.
Posted by: Jen Sherbo at April 11, 2005 10:33 PMI really liked reading what you had to say Jen. My opinion is that our attacks on 9-11 were inevitable. I think that you can only bully and stick you nose where it doesn't belong for so long. Everything we do has repercussions and I think 9-11 was just one of those repercussions and unfortunately tons of innoncent people had to die. Do you think there will be another attack that is inevitable?
Posted by: Amanda at April 11, 2005 11:28 PMI would have to say it was inevitable i mean think how long we have been pushing other countries around. This is sad but true they gave us a taste of what it feels like.
Posted by: Ashley Neil at April 12, 2005 01:07 AMI think that the attacks were inevitable. If you piss people off enough they will retaliate, which is what happened on 9/11.
