Default Re: Terrorist attacks on US



Well, for those of us under age 30, this represents the most historic day of our lives. Until now, the "Where were you when..." day of our lives was the Challenger disaster in 1987. Now it will be this day.


I mostly wonder what will happen next. The USA never seemed like the type to respond to such an event with a "full scale investigation". Obviously Osama Bin Laden is #1 on everyone's list of suspects. But he's been on the FBI top ten most wanted for a lengthy time. They've obviously been looking for him. Can they find him now? Will the US public accept anything less than Bin Laden's head on a pike paraded through the streets?


That also adds to the question of Bush. My removed perspective is that the US public doesn't have a lot of respect for his ability or intelligence and he knows it. Will he be motivated to act more strongly in order to prevent losing credibility with the US public, and will this lead to some kind of action that will have repercussions? If he doesn't act strongly, will there be continued attacks? Is there any action that will result in a cessation of attacks? Are we on the road to WW3?


Bush Sr was president for the Gulf War. Middle East terrorists striking back now that son is president. Coincidence? Who knows.


Its just a terrible act by some individuals with no concept of what it means to be human.
