Terrorist acts (suicide bombings, hi-jackings, hostage taking) are the acts of cowards, but in the minds of "terrorists" these tools are effective.  They are intended not to hit a military target, but to cause such an outrage among the CIVILIAN population that they are willing to force their governments to comply or concede to the "terrorists".  They also use these acts to call international attention to their cause.  What is more compelling, at least in the terrorist mind, than dead women, children, and elderly splashed across a television screen on the news programs of the "civilized" world?  \n\nSo, should we ignore it an expect it to go away?  That's what President Clinton did, to an extent.  And look what happened on 9/11.  So no, we can't ignore it.  But we can fight them, not on their own terms, but on our own.  We can show them that WE ARE NOT GOING TO BACK DOWN, WE WILL NOT CONCEDE, WE WILL NOT GIVE IN TO TERROR!  That is how you fight terrorism.

I don't know how much collateral damage he has caused but I  remember reading about him in one of the Sunday papers and it was a nice story of how a man taught himself to shoot to a very high standard with an old riffle.\nHe was subsequently recruited by the locals to help keep the abusive American solders at bay.\nAnybody who doesn't like the story should try to think what they would do should the shoe be on the other foot.\nFight back or accept your being invaded.

Hmmm......I remember a couple years ago, bush said something like this (direct quote):\n\n"knowing these realities, America must not ignore the threat gathering against us. Facing clear evidence of peril, we cannot wait for the final proof -- the smoking gun that could come in the form of a mushroom cloud."\n\nYeah, I remember that, I was sitting in 105:H International Studies at Washington University when he said that, it was a reference to "Iraq's" "Nuclear technology" that we all know now that he never even had.....whooopsy, guess we can't use that phrase again....\n\nThey've been threatening Israel for the last 30 years, in fact you act as if Israel is so vulnerable, while as a matter of fact they are the ones that have ballistic missiles and atomic capablities, you act as if Iran is the bully===right.....hmmmm yeah did you get the memo? \n\n------------\n\nI don't like your attitude when it comes to describing their leaders either, I have my own feelings towards most Islamic extremists as I do for Christian extremists (Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson), but I don't go as far to label them and make a racial slur...you need to have some decency, and I know your probably quite young, however better to learn now than never right?

Yes, a very valuable lesson, kill every Islamic Extremist before he kills you. They can't be reasoned with, they can't be placated, and we can't worry what other policy of the United States may offend these Extremists. The lesson is we need to exterminate every Islamic Extremist who threatens the United States...Looks like your question was right-on//////

You are sick.  You've already posted a question on 9/11 wanting to know if they deserved it, now your're saying no one likes Americans, and I see you've posted another wanting to by a gun.  Don't know who you are but some one should report you.

GOOOOOOD JOOOOOOB MAN,\ni'm very happy with ur logic,and most of the ppl who answered till now couldnt defeat ur logic,they r all just repeating words they heared in their zionist controlled media like pirots,they even cant convince themself,so they sounded funny.\nWhy do americans think they r better than others ,and they have the right to tell others do this & dont do that,\nEven if Iran want to have nuclear weapons,so what?\namerica and israel & others have tons of them,america used it before cause japan attaked PH with REGULAR WEAPONS so u went and droped 2 NUCLEAR bombs over them kiling and effecting millions of ppl till today (why the second bomb???isnt one enough),and used depleded uranium in the war with Iraq,and threatened too many countries including Iran,\n\nIf the Iranian president talked about whiping israel,also america already whiped Iraq&Afghanistan and occupied them .\n\namerican gov is a TERRORIST gov,and the us president is a radical person and he said before that this is a crusaid war,so he is a terrorist and not stable also.\n\namerica is detaining innocent ppl (&kids)in illegal jails with no trial,which is the same brutal acts of the third world countries which america is using as an excuse to attack & invade them \n\nThe core of the american military power is the nuclear arsenal,and without it ,america cant win a war even if they didnt use it,the threat of having it&the ability to use it while the other part dont ,is enough for america to win,and thats why america dont want anybody to have these weapons.\nSo please guys,i know there is a lot of nic americans,and maybe the majority r,,but they dont care about whats happening in the world they just listen to what the gov want them to beleive & beleive without thinking,and also the phobia of 911,made them beleive that any body who dont agree with there cruel foreign policy is a TERRORIST,and thats not true:)

Muslim people are strapping bombs to their bodies and blowing up innocent children and adults.  I saw footage of people dancing in the streets whe news of 9/11 was made public.  And the hijackers on the planes that day were all Muslims, at least the words they said were in praise of Allah. \nYou are not telling the truth.

What saddens me was reading about the death of "Al-Zarqawi" and the quote by bush.."Justice"\n\nThe responses by Americans disgusted me. \n\nHow can justice be served by dropping bombs on people? \nDoesn't that make America just as "bad" as the other side.\n\nActually i think America and Americans in general are some pretty  messed up people.

Take emotion out of how we conduct operations. The following is very difficult to understand but i will try to make you understand. Terrorist know we really care about children so our caring about children is really what kills them. If terrorist thought we did not care about the lives of children they would not use them as shields. So the more we care about children the more they will use them as shields.  We cannot at least under the scrutiny of the world just mow down a bunch of kids. Then we are as bad as the terrorists.

Well first of all I'm sorry for all the friends that you lost. :( I don't think that only Muslims are terrorist but these people in the tape are confused I don't know whats wrong with them!I can't lie, I don't agree with this war but I surely don't want anyone to die just to "teach" something to people.I don't know what its like to be in war but I do know that soldiers should not be criticized in this way,they are fighting for something they believe,to protect our country.\nI don't know but i think war is not too good because I have an uncle that was in war he came back alive in one piece but hes kind of weird now, I think he is traumatized by all the things he saw in the war he was in.\nLike I said before I'm sorry for all the friends and people you lost during the time you were there :(\nI hope everything gets better for you:)

When a good portion of the U.S. population comes to understand and accept that 9/11 was very probably an inside job, It is our duty as good citizens to call or write our congress person.   \n\nLet them know that you would very much be in favor of supporting a new 9/11 investigation.   \n\nLet them know that you are insulted that the previous commission was allowed to white wash the whole incident.  \n\nLet them know that you are also outraged that our countries government allowed this self inflicted massacre to be used as a pretext for an illegal war.  \n\nLet them know that you do not appreciate or accept a government that behaves and or mimics Hitler's Neo Nazis.   \n\nLet them know that those NeoCons, who most likely perpetrated this crime belong behind bars if not worse, for the massacre as well as crimes against humanity.\n\nLet them know that you are tired of puppet governments masquerading as "Representatives of the people and for the people".\n\nLet them know that you are aware of the non-democratic forces that motivate and control our governments actions.

Assuming your are an American, what government sanctioned child abuse center, aka public school, did you attend?\n\nIran has pledged to wipe Israel off the map and drive them into the sea.  Is this what you call a "kind and good people"?

This question is on the vague side, if it is a question at all, it appears to be more of a statement. The 9/11 hijackings and the aftermath have been documented. There is no debate in my mind and perhaps in those of other Americans minds. \n\nIt's done. One perpetrator has been brought to justice and we need to move so that this doesn't happen again for the sake of our children and grandchildren.\n\nI lost friends that I had gone through training with, it's still very hard to see and comprehend. I don't think that I ever will, when I do, I have become to callous for this world.

Interesting (and nauseating) to sift through the illiterate anglophobic rants of the terrorist supporters who've contaminated this perfectly legitimate question with their hateful bile. The truth is that just about the only silver lining to the horrific atrocities committed against innocent civilians on 9/11 was that it did indeed awaken many Americans -- including Irish-Americans who had previously supported the IRA -- to the ugly truth about terrorism. It matters not what your cause is nor how legitimate your grievances, terrorist acts committed against individuals or states, civilian or military, are absolutely unacceptable. While it is doubtless true that there are still die-hard IRA supporters amongst America's Irish-Catholic population, they are very definitely a rapidly shrinking minority. The very fact that the IRA finally renounced terrorism and has moved forward with their own commitment to the Good Friday peace accords is proof of the fact that their support from donor organizations in the States and elsewhere has been evaporating. \n\nIn summation, I am not interested in hearing any further rationalization for the armed struggle (read terrorist activities) of the IRA against the British government and people. I am thankfully not alone in this view. Whatever your cause and however sympathetic it may or may not be, the use of terrorist violence to achieve your aims is condemned almost universally. The horrors of 9/11 directly contributed to that viewpoint and that is the only good thing to come of all that tragic and unnecessary carnage.\n\nAs to the issue of a united Ireland, take it from this American of mixed English, Irish and Scottish heritage, it is inevitable but it will happen through peaceful means only. The IRA has finally figured that out and it's high time the rest of you did, as well. A negotiated peace, an end to terrorist campaigns, the cessation of sectarian violence and a common will to live in peace and harmony will ultimately achieve what a vicious and violent chapter of Anglo-Irish history failed completely to achieve: a united Ireland and lasting peace. \n\nEnd note: Being a student of history who comes from a long line of English, Irish and Scottish Catholics, yet being an American no longer affiliated with any religion whatsoever, I feel well qualified to state my case in an impartial manner. Feel free to disagree if you wish, but peace, understanding and reconciliation will accomplish what hatred, violence and terrorism so abjectly failed to. If we've learned nothing else from 9/11, let us at least agree on this much.

well... it would also help if there were any of the terrorists that attacked us in iraq... \n\napparently they should be saying "fight the country that has nothing to do with terrorists over there, so we can give the actual terrorists that did attack us plenty of time to regroup and plan another attack on us over here"\n\nsacolunga: thank you for coping and pasting someone else's horribly bias history lesson... that really doesn't answer the question at all... \ntypical Republican, when you don't have an answer, just start throwing out a bunch of propaganda...
