sorry about my spelling because no matter how hard i try im no good at ai. and it messed up the econemy because it was an econimic center that was attacked. because it was destroyed it could no longer be used and the damage caused was very expensive. thats why, or atleast thats part of the damage done to the econemy over the years

Lmao. Thats some epic fail right there. 9/11 has NOTHING to do with the state of the economy, learn what you're on about before you talk about it.

However I do support the war, purely because the Taliban are tyrannical, and Muslim law is just....awful.

 

[kahlzun]

America screwed the Taliban govt (which it put into power.. seriously, go check) out of several million US$, gave them none of the aid that they were promised, and abandoned them in a precarious position.

America has, traditionally, treated other countries very poorly.

Eventually, enough people got pissed enough about it, that they decided to do something.

Thought experiment here:

Lets say that you are a disaffected citizen of a country like, say, Afghanistan, or Iraq or somewhere, and that you are very upset with America, and want to make people realise how badly they're screwing over everyone.

What options do you have?
What recourse is open to you?

The only tactic that allows a single individual, or small group, to damage or attack a strong foreign power, is terrorism.

Yeah, I kind of made a thread like this almost three weeks ago and I actually had viable points unlike your some-what correct, statement. I do support the war, but next time, please use the search bar and actually add some evidance to back up your theory. KTHXBY!


Oh and one more thing; 9/11 had absolutly nothing to do with the down fall of the american economy, this thread just made you look stupid(sorry, but had to be honest). KTHXBY(again)!

 

[whycantibelinus]

It's all an excuse for American global dominance, which I don't support. I'm American and I think we are incredibly arrogant to think that there is not a single problem in the world that we can't fix or have to get involved in.

We are not the world police, and we should not act as such. We are a single country and should act in our own interests, nothing more. That means no bullying other countries into doing what we want them to do, no invading a country because they have a resource that is plentiful enough within our own country but decide we want to take theirs instead, and no setting up "democracies" in countries that were previously not but we changed them so that they would always agree with us.

I think it's shameful the way we have become, and the sad part about it is that we have now created so much dissent within other countries towards us that it would be extremely dangerous to us to just let them be now.

Just one lowly Americans opinion.

Popquiz: What's the difference between the Taliban and Al-Qaeda?

The Taliban was the hard-right government that was in power in Afghanistan. Possibly a religious movement, I'm not sure.

Al-Qaeda is a outlaw organisation, formed with pretty much the expressed intent to remove the unclean Western influences from the Middle East?

I think?

No. Simply put Afghanistan was Russia's Vietnam from 1979-1988. They got their asses handed to them. Why would we want to do the same?

1st: Amnestic you are high-larious, every time i see one of your posts i die of laughter. Keep it up.
2nd: Dude, you're 13, your opinion on the cause of Americas economic collapse is next to worthless. I'm 19, and i still consider my opinion less than important. Thats why i defer to the opinions of economists, or at the very least, someone thats been around a lot longer than me. Tell me, do you remember how much a candy bar cost before the new millennium?

3rd: No, the war in Afghanistan has nothing to do with the economy. And yes i support it.

So...Your saying that we souldn't go after an enemy that attacked us but just act like nothing happened? Your views are twisted.

Your spelling of economy is hilarious, I particularly enjoyed 'econimic'.
Just so you learn something its spelled E C O N O M Y .

OT: I don't live in America and did not experience first hand the 9/11 (or 11/9 if you insist) attacks and therefore may have a differing view to some of you.
I feel that while it is more worthwhile than the Iraq... conflict (I refuse to call it a war), we should withdraw the troops from Afghanistan. I feel that after being there for so long and making so little impact (although there have been small victories), there is little point continuing to risk the lives of our troops for something that is a lost cause. The fact is that our two cultures are not compatible and will never get along, especially if we keep trying to force them to see things our way.

I don't support any war. Especially not this one.

Would you have supported WWI and WWII? Come on, really now....

 

[James Cassidy]

What I do not get is why people think we are going to war over oil. I mean come on, if we really went to war over oil then we would have lower gas prices by now, but you don't see us paying less than a dollar a gallon anymore, do you?

It's the same thing with the Civil War. Several things caused the civil war to happen, but in the end everyone only thinks that Slavery was the one and only factor. Wrong and shame on you for thinking that.

I am reminded of one thing that keep popping in my mind to people who supposedly "hate america." If America is so bad, evil, stupid and everyone hates us, then why does everyone want to come and live here? I have seen people say "Well because we have the freedom like you suggest." Yeah we have freedom to do most things, but that doesn't mean you can come in here and take our jobs and eat our food. I have the freedom to come into your house and do that and insult how bad your house looks and I don't think you would appreciate it.

11/9.

It's just the other way of doing it, which is more logical; day/month/year

Well in America we put it as month/day/year. There is no such thing as "more logical." While it is more logical for you, it is not more logical to others. See, this is why people need to shut up about "tolerance" and such. Not specifically you, but I know some people who say I need to "tolerate" others beliefs, but say that they don't have to "tolerate" mine. Which is one other reason why wars happen.

I know it is not that big of a difference and most of the time, if not all the time, it is stupid. Like would you scorn a Mexican if he says "The week starts on a Monday" even though you start it on Sunday?
