What US embassy's did Sadam Hussien attack before the War on Terrorism started?
604121
None.  Bin Laden/Al Qaeda did.

Red herring. This was 30 years ago and it doesn't explain why Osama hates the US now, or why Bush didn't go all out to find and kill him after he plotted the murder of thousands of Americans.

Could be if the terrorists escalate to neuclar or biological terrorism.  \n\nSubject: Muslims, terrorist and the USA : A different spin on Iraq war.\n\nThis WAR is for REAL!  \nDr. Vernon Chong, Major General, USAF, Retired\n\nTo get out of a difficulty, one usually must go through it.  Our country is now facing the most serious threat to its existence, as we know it, that we have faced in your lifetime and mine (which includes WWII).\n\nThe deadly seriousness is greatly compounded by the fact that there are very few of us who think we can possibly lose this  war and even fewer who realize what losing really means.\n\nFirst, let's examine a few basics:\n\n1. When did the threat to us start?\n\n Many will say September 11, 2001.   \nThe answer as far as the United States is concerned is 1979, 22 years prior to September 2001, with the following attacks on us:\n \n* Iran Embassy Hostages, 1979;\n*   Beirut , Lebanon Embassy 1983;\n*   Beirut , Lebanon Marine Barracks 1983;\n* Lockerbie , Scotland Pan-Am flight to New York 1988;\n* First New York World Trade Center attack 1993;\n* Dhahran , Saudi Arabia Khobar Towers Military complex 1996;\n* Nairobi , Kenya US Embassy 1998;\n* Dares Salaam , Tanzania US Embassy 1998;\n* Aden , Yemen USS Cole 2000;\n* New York World Trade Center 2001;\n* Pentagon 2001.\n\n(Note that during the period from 1981 to 2001 there were 7,581 terrorist attacks worldwide).\n \n\n2. Why were we attacked?\n\nEnvy of our position, our success, and our freedoms.  The attacks happened during the administrations of Presidents Carter, Reagan, Bush 1, Clinton and Bush 2.  We cannot fault either the Republicans or Democrats as there were no provocations by any of the presidents or their immediate predecessor, President Ford.\n\n3. Who were the attackers?\nIn each case, the attacks on the US were carried out by Muslims.\n\n4. What is the Muslim population of the World? \n25%.\n\n5. Isn't the Muslim Religion peaceful? \n\nHopefully, but that is really not material.  There is no doubt that the predominately Christian population of Germany was peaceful, but under the dictatorial leadership of Hitler (who was also Christian), that made no difference.  You either went along with the administration or you were eliminated.  There were 5 to 6 million Christians killed by the Nazis for political reasons (including 7,000 Polish priests).  \n(see http://www.Nazis.testimony.co.uk/7-a.htm)\n\nThus, almost the same number of Christians were killed by the Nazis, as the six million holocaust Jews who were killed by them, and we seldom heard of anything other than the Jewish atrocities.  Although Hitler kept the world focused on the Jews, he had no hesitancy about killing anyone who got in his way of exterminating the Jews or of taking over the world - German, Christian or any others.\n\nSame with the Muslim terrorists.  They focus the world on the US , but kill all in the way -- their own people or the Spanish, French or anyone else. The point here is that just like the peaceful Germans were of no protection to anyone from the Nazis, no matter how many peaceful Muslims there may be, they are no protection for us from the terrorist Muslim leaders and what they are fanatically bent on doing -- by their own pronouncements -- killing all of us "infidels."  I don't blame the peaceful Muslims.  What would you do if the choice was shut up or die?\n\n6. So who are we at war with?\n\nThere is no way we can honestly respond that it is anyone other than the Muslim terrorists.  Trying to be politically correct and avoid verbalizing this conclusion can well be fatal. There is no way to win if you don't clearly recognize and articulate who you are fighting.\n \n\nSo with that background, now to the two major questions:\n\n1. Can we lose this war?\n\n2. What does losing really mean?\n\nIf we are to win, we must clearly answer these two pivotal questions:\n\nWe can definitely lose this war, and as anomalous as it may sou

I'd say it already started...the pre-lude was 9/11 attack on America. Act I was the US invasion of Iraq. Act II will be a middle east conflagaration around Israel,Palestine,Syria,Iran axis. Act III - while US is busy defending Israel, North Korea will take the opportunity to invade the South and China will takeover Taiwan...leading to nuclear showdown similar to the Cuban Missile Crisis. Act IV - will be the breakdown of the "system", loss in confidence of US economy, long gas lines at the pump, Constitutional rights abolished Act V - the end...who knows how it will end, but Einstein said World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones....

We have been in it since 1979. And just didn't admit it until 9/11.  With the Islamic Fundamentalist bombing in places like Sri Lanka, Israel, Spain, Great Briton, Egypt (the Coptic Christians are being hounded pretty good right now), Phillipenes.  It wasn't until Afganistan that we have taken the threat seriously.

Did you happen to know that putting the US into bankruptcy is the main goal of the terrorists?  Why do you think that most of terrorist attacks are mainly happening in Iraq?
748771
Definitely the USA since about 1980.  Reagan, Bush I, Clinton and the smirking chimp would all be tried for war crimes for the terrorist campaigns they waged against various peoples and countries.  Al Qaeda et al are bush-league compared to our terrorist-in-chiefs.\n\nAnd let me stipulate, I don't think there is any credible evidence the smirking chimp had anything to do with 9/11.  But the brutal bombing and sanction campaign we've carried out against Iraq is pure terrorism.

The US started this war?  Where do you get your facts from?  I thought it was because S.H. wasn't playing by the rules set forth from the U.N.

Some of the first recorded incidents of "terrorism" is in Mesopotamia around the city states of UR.   Some records mentioned constant "raids" against villages in neighboring kingdoms.   It was not full scale war, but rather small groups that attacked outlying posts for various reasons (food,slaves, bad king, government grudge, etc..

Ben Laden says that reasons behind his attacks are the US military bases in Muslims lands!\n\nI don't buy the ben Laden myth, but this is what he says!\n\nPersonally, the only thing that makes me against the current US politics is what's happening around and the US support for Israel.\n\nI'm from Saudi Arabia

First of all, you have to make sure the people you're going to kill actually are terrorists. The War on Terror is a sham. The US isn't going after terrorism all over the world. If this was true then terrorist attacks wouldn't be at an all time high. Don't believe the hype of the talking head in Washington DC.
