I want to say I feel sorry for all the people that had the tragic death of the terrorist acts of today!!!
Hello Sil, the U.S. does feel sorry for all the things we did to the other nations in the past, thus we give them our support later on. Which other country will allow as many immigrants to live and work here with the same peace and freedom as us citizens? After we Bombed the Japanese in WW2 didn't we help them restructure their economy by openly giving them a large sum of money and resume trading? Did't we try to help Kuwait from Saddam and his attempt to steal oil? DOn't we support our old enemies once they come to senses and decide to become alies with us? Our nation does not bully others to the point we deserve to have terrorist try to fuck our country. With the United Nations we try to help other nations from poverty, genocide, and severe political corruption (ie. communism), not bullying. Look at the whole picture and try to show some empathy for our county. Your response is NOT very patriotic, and it sound like you are ashamed to be an American?
We NEVR attempted a terrorist(surprise) attack as someone did to us today, EVER!

I would just like to add that the Terrorist's believe that they have accomplished some sort of greatness in their eyes by pulling off this well organized attack on the US.
But in reality it was a extreme eye opener to our society as a whole that we are not exempt from this sort of behavior, although it is obvious that most of us thought we were, or didn't think much of the possibility of such acts here at home from foriegn enemies, and especially the scale of devastation so few can unleash.
Many of us have little or no clue of what is going on across seas in these areas, and until now little interest in the broad effect of all US actions across the world.
We have been arrogant, and ignorant.
I think most profoundly though is the real reverse effect this kind of ordeal will have on these terrorist organizations in the future. After the loss and pain diminish, we are certain to be a much stronger nation, no matter what comes next. I know personally I have never been much for sending our troops off to war as many others I know. But after such an event perspectives change and Patriotism is swelling in many that until now in their lives, I don't think understood how to grasp the concept.
ALSO, Can you imagine the next generation's response to continue the hunt for terrorism after such an event. So many important, top members of society were in and around all of the events that transpired, and so many leave behind friends and families that will be the next generation of leaders and voters. And they will NEVER forget this.
On 9,11,2001 terrorist changed the lives of many of us for quite some time, but changed the way they will be dealt with by the world FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!
God Bless.

I wouldn't be too hard on us. We haven't been idiots: we've been Americans. We're not used to evil openly walking our streets. That doesn't reflect badly on our people, it reminds us what a great nation we have been and still are.
Frankly, from a cold-blooded military / political viewpoint, I think the terrorists picked the absolute worst targets that they possibly could (and not just because I'm nauseated by the loss of life). Seriously, how often do you see our nation this unified? Not only that, nations that would normally spit on our name are standing beside us. Hells bells, people, Libya is on our side.
Personally, I'm thinking seriously of quitting my job because, in my current position, I won't be doing enough to assist in the war effort.
That's what it is, guys: the war started on the 11th and it's already one of the bloodiest in our history.
Our fellow Americans (and friends) are not the enemy, though. If someone says something to piss you off, that's their right: the right to be a jackass, one that I exercise more often than I like to think about.
To end this evenings sermon: think about the Yamamoto quote and what he was thinking. "Okay, we didn't cripple the American fleet as badly as we had hoped and now their entire industrial might is gearing up to grind my nation into dogmeat. Oh, crap." It didn't go quite that smoothly but America is even more angry now than we were on 7 December 1941.

When will people learn that this isn't racial? I hold nothing against middle eastern in general. America's anger should be focused, not ignorant like this. Some people just don't understand that they are making things worse for ALL OF US.

Anybody ever see the movie, "The Siege?"
It feels JUST like that movie.

Well, I tried really hard to find something productive to say but I'm at a loss.

"Dear Colin's parents,
Thanks for allowing Colin to exercise his right to be an asshole.
However, due to the fact that he is intellectually incapable of pouring sand from a boot with directions printed on the heel, I am prescribing a mental diet of reading books until such time as the vomitous maw that you know as his mouth begins to emit sense.
Sincerely,
