I firmly believe there is NO answer, and this is only the beginning. Bush has no need to declare "war" on anyone. It is already in progress.

I need to let it be known that this act allows the President to have a BROAD base power. We have to remember that this Terrorist Group is GLOBAL wide. It is already being reported that this group who did this is mainly from Yeman. The same Group who were involved in the USS Cole attack.
Giving the President this Power will allow him to attack where it is nesscary. It is in affect a message to the WORLD... if you harbor these people you may be a Target.

But I would like to add... We are AMERICANS... we are a diverse group of differance race and religion.

PLEASE do NOT attact any of these People here in America. The Terrorist Group are faction who happened to hate America and if you attack those here then The Terrorist have succeded.

So let the Goverment do it's job and Be PROUD to be an American!

yes a lot of the nations that harbor terrorists are already under sanctions. Also reacting with military force to harboring of terrorrists is a very picky issue

This is a unique situation, declaring war on an ambiguous enemy, who operates not from a sinlge country, but hidden away in many. Just think of how many countries we are going to "declare" war on...we will have to attack in some way a vast majority of the Middle Eastern nations. Pray they don't join together, as we are joining together with our allies, and decide the world needs a truley big holy war. Just as these hijackers were on our soil for quite a long time, surely there are many more waiting in the wings ready to pop out when the sh*t hits the fan. Frenzied, suicidal terrorists in Walmart, another walking across the overpass with 2 lbs of c-4 strapped to his butt, another dumping his load on the tracks in the middle of nowhere, waiting for a nuclear-waste train to pass.

Well, this whole situation can be compared to going after a serial killer...except that this is on a global scale, and the police, in this sense, is the military. They have more weapons at their disposal, but they will have to track down these terrorists down utilizing police methods...

You're right on the money here Indy. The hardest part is finding the enemy!!!!

Soldeir: "Hello, are you the enemy?"

Osama Bin Ladin: "No, you are!"

Soldeir: "Well, if you see the enemy, can you tell him we're looking for him"

Osama Bin Ladin: "OK"

Soldeir: "Thanks"

It's certainly not going to be easy, but I think that with the effort that is being put forth by the US government and the will & determination of our people, it'll get done...might take awhile, but it will be done...

Hard to believe that it's been a week since I first posted here about this...magazines strewn around me about the disaster, CBS news in the background talking to survivors...5100 feared lost and hundreds more confirmed dead...

It's very heartening to see the response that we've gotten from our friends around the world:

http://home.earthlink.net/~hankinhsd/thankyou.htm

Take a moment of your day today and reflect on what you have, and pray for those who have lost loved ones.

God Bless,

Tony

I think it'll go more like this:

Soldier : "Hi, are you the enemy?"

Osama : "ban nak u stan mak nashta nu do"

Soldier : "BANG!"

That should get the point across.

Next................................

Soldier : "Are you the enemy?".......

I was laying in Bed on an early Monday morning around 6:00 am listening to Xtra Sports 690 a local sports radio show. I guess I must of dozed off for a mere 20 minutes. Cause when I woke I heard Peter Jennings on the radio I was huh what had happen to my sports? I heard something about destruction. My immediate thought was there an Earthquake?
So I turned on the TV, which happen to be quite loud. Cause on that night I dozed off for awhile an then my ass sat on the remote which cranked the sucker up really really loud an woke me from the sleep. So I just hastily turned it off cause I got scared. Then I went to sleep but the TV was stilled turn up really really loud.
Why do I mention this? Well after I heard Peter Jennings and went to turn on the TV to see if it was indeed an Earthquake.
I turned on the loud TV an the first thing i saw a plane crashing into a tower (It was the second plane but i never knew of the first) and since the TV was loud it sounded as if it where outside.

I was like Oh crap man what a horrible accident. Then i saw the smoke coming from the other tower i was man wtf is happening?
I listen more It can't be real It can't be for terror has struck again.

That day I came posting in some forum my shock an why do these things happen. But after that day I became a News junkie. I watched I heard stories; I shook my head in disbelief. The images of the plane crashing into the tower over an over an over. I kept saying this must be some cruel digital special effects hoax. For who would commit such vile acts?

So the time ticked I kept watching ever channel was flooded with sick acts of madness. I needed to escape I watched cartoons, I feed my sadness with sweets. Gaining some weight I indeed did. Sluggish I walked, tears shed again for the missing, the dead, the families and the heroes. I did venture onto the net but I could not post I just read. I read about hate, I read about love, some made me sick and some made me want to give people hugs.
I kept reading an reading what people thought trying to fathom what this whole vile act was about.

"Destroy them!! People said on the digital paper. Destroy their religion too!! Nuke Nuke Nuke bomb them for all the middle easterners in the world are terrorists with diapers on their heads."

Rage was inside of many people, which I understood. But I didn't understand why must they stoop to levels of vile putrid hate spew.
Then came my tooth aching it hurt very much I took pills and more pills to make the aching go away. It worked but the other pain drugs couldn't take away.
I had trouble sleeping well I usually do but more often than i do. I kept thinking, wondering and dreaming. My dreams were quite normal. I dreamt about an adult Punky Brewster she was going to give me a hickey? But i refused I just wanted to hold hands an hug her.I have no idea what that dream was about but it felt Good.

This Act on 9/11/01 forever changed me inside. I heard about JFK and Pearl Harbor. But to me they were always some pages in a high school history book. Now there is another page to be added but this time I'm apart of this page. I now can fully understand what people went through and how people felt. Times will past and young people will read about that page I was apart of. They will probably think like I did about the pages before. I hope their page never comes but when it does they will fully understand what it felt like.

It doesn't seem like 6 months since this happened...some days it seems like it was yesterday, other days it feels like it happened years ago.

Watching the 9/11 special on CBS last night brought all of the emotions back to the forefront, especially with the one brother being inside tower 1 when tower 2 collapsed.

My hope is that we never have to endure this again. My fear is that we will.

That was so sad watching that... like someone has some ****ing balls to bomb the pentagon! Damn!!!

Soo sad, so many of those firefighters in the lobby didnt even get out and then when you heard the bodies hitting the ground... another life. so sad

But even though people needed to see what really went on, look at the rage and madness it put in people again, we were all trying to put it in the past.

I for one am glad that they showed it. It did bring up all the bad feelings again and the anger but I think that it is good to hold on to these feelings. I would like to think that when taliban John goes to trial the jury will not have put these images and feelings in the past. and that goes for any of them that we prosecute.

I hate when I turn on the TV and hear about the poor taliban we took away his turban waa waa, they are the enemy and deserve whatever punishment they get...

lol mouse ur too funny.. but i agree with what you say. I think the world needs to realize that this is war, and in war there is killing.. so what deal with it. right ? if we didnt kill them, they would be killing us.

My birthday is 9/11/1969. I have felt cursed ever since. As a firefighter and a firefighter in the military...I can honestly say that I was profoundly affected by the events that transpired.

I will be going over to the sandbox in September...am I scared? Hell yeah I am. I have a wife and a kid on the way. I'm scared that I will never see them again but I do know that if it means my life for theirs...I'm prepared mentally to make that sacrifice. I want my kid to live in a world free of this fear.

We are in uncharted territory. In time, I know that we will prevail but at what cost?

If I were a world leader my message would be this:

It doesn't have to be this way.

Indy · Post by **Indy** » Tue May 21, 2002 10:38 pm

I think about 9/11 almost every day...it's not something that I want to think about, but you can't help but think about it...just tonight, on TLC, were several programs about the Trade Center and the Pentagon...

This is something we must not forget, especially in light of the fact that new attacks may be coming: http://www.cnn.com/2002/US/05/21/gen.wa ... index.html

I thank God every day for our military, and for having the opportunity to serve my country for 11 years. I know we have others on speedguide here that have served faithfully and honorably, and for that, they have my eternal thanks.
