That is a loaded question. One of the best ever. The Bible is so unclear on certain subjects like this. Look at how many cities were wiped out because of the sin of the ruler. How can we answer to God for the sins of our government officials? Hope that you find the right answer. I do not want to pay for war or any type of violance. Let our president and government officials who have issues, go in a room and duke it out. Leave our innocent ones alone.

It's the truth. Our occupation in Iraq increased the likelihood of terrorism around the world. The threat levels at home will increase greatly as well, all thanks to Bush!

You cannot take dead men to trial. Plenty of others have been tried and taken in for other terrorist threats, but their was no conclusive evidence that linked them to  911. The rest of the men that we know for sure were involved, are dead.

Hey ST.  Maybe you need to stop accepting everything that the US government does as being something handed down from God on Mount Sinai.  And maybe you should stop asking "questions", only then picking answers that are to the effect of: "I totally agree with you!  GO USA!"\n\nedit - You are so easy to get riled up.  Okay here's a quick stab at it.  Lets say I murdered someone in an extremely brutal manner.  I cut their skin off and injected them with a colloidal heavy metal, then hooked them up to a car battery and let the metals cook them from inside their veins.\n\nNow lets say you murdered somebody, but you only shot them through the heart.\n\nI am guilty of murder.  You are guilty of murder.  Is your murder any less wrong?  No, of course not.  A death is a death.  Do you see the point I am making?  A crime is a crime is a crime.  Just because a crime appears to be lesser than another one doesn't mean anything.  Read a philosophy book before you start asking questions like this.\n\nIt is wrong for us to strip terrorists of their human rights.  An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.  You would do well to remember that, Mr. Trooper.  Or do you think Ghandi was wrong for saying that?\n\nYou have very narrow views, Mr. Trooper.

First impulse: yes.\n\nThen, I remember we have a nasty tendancy to imprison/punish the innocent, so the evidence would have to be pretty overwhelming. Otherwise, no.

Depends on the justness of the cause. The Boston Tea Party could be considered a terrorist act, but was for a just and noble cause. Mercenaries, the same thing. Maybe they are not as noble as terrorists, due to $ being their motivation, but that's not a big deal in my book. Killing is killing, regardless the motivation for doing so. For a just cause, I have no problem with either. Unjust cause, I have a problem with them both. (Ahhh, but now the question is, Who determines whether or not it's a just cause?)

No, I mean "hell no."  We do so much to try and avoid civilian injury and casulty, we do more to try and defend their rights, and are working to leave the country.  Terrorist are working to inflict fear, create hatred, and in the name of an extreme version of a peaceful religion.

I think what you're trying to say that there's many reasons people do terrorist acts but mostly it's people with psychological problems, and that they think their thinking is the most correct thinking in the world. Is that correct?\n\nBest I can figure out they think they've been wronged somehow and resort to violent methods to get revenge. I think they're uncivilized & big cowards to kill innocent people who had nothing to do with whomever they feel wronged them. You would have to be crazy to think God would like that!

We do speak of terrorists, and as you have pointed out seem to blame entire nations and religions for the acts of a few people, like people blaming the whole of germany for the war rather than just the nazi's etc

not to mention the terrorists are TARGETING civilians.... we (the U.S.) bend over backwards to avoid killing civilians and any mistakes made are plastered all over time and newsweek. Is this disgusting?         YES!

I've been to ground zero.  It happened.  Whether Osama, Israel, or the US was  responsible ---is all guesswork at this point.   The US has defiantly staged events like this in the past to justify a war---The sinking of the Maine, Gulf of Tonkin, etc...  But 9/11?   We saw Osama admit it in the videos.  I wouldn't want to think that our country is so evil we could ever do this, although in my heart I know there is a chance we could have.

I have lived thru the assassinations of JFK, MLK, RFK, and the attempts on Ford and Reagan.  No true American would even think of saying such a thing as killing an American president in office.  It is SOOOOO hard on the country as a whole, would look horrible to Osama and company, and is NOT the way America governs!  Asassination is for anarchists.  Sorry, I was a Democrat for the first 53+ years of my life, voted for McGovern the first time I could vote, but am no a Republican, thanks to Mr Gore and Mr Kerry (scary and ill-informed, to me).  I think I've just matured in my outlook.  And, yes, my voice counts, too.  And I DO vote! at every opportunity!

First off terrorism is not limited to Muslims and all Muslims are not terrorist.  The Irish Republican Army = terrorist, school yard bullies = terrorist, Gangs & Mafias = terrorist.  Now that that misconception is clear.  Let's talk terrorism.  \n\nI don't think what you have mentioned is a possible cause of terrorism because I witness the same thing happen right here in the US anytime I go to the store.  Kids running wild and the parents not doing anything about it.   There are so many spoiled brats in America it's rediculous.  \n\nFor example, Nicole Ritchie and Paris Hilton one could assume that they, "are never told they are wrong, that they are spoiled into getting what they want, ... (throw) childish tantrums... because they have never been made to grow up.", yet we don't see them crashing airplanes into buildings.

Terrorism is only terrorism, which ever side you remain. Killings  innocents in World Trade Center, At London Railway stations or in Delhi crowded Markets are always terrorism which ever side you are. F-16  are bombing remote villages because terrorist are hiding there.
