Other countries couldn't go to war because they don't have the manpower, patriotism, or money to support it. So yeah, they'd probably just take it where the sun doesn't shine, lose thousands of people, and forget about it.
What if 9/11 happened in another country?

I doubt america would give a crap, as a country they are more self obsorbed and dont have much interest in any thing outside their borders. For instance, WW2, didnt give a crap and happily made money off both sides until Japan attacked them. But also 9/11 was a big deal for them because they never get attacked due to how far they are from most countries. Where as the UK, for instance, have had terror attacks from IRA and our own Al Queda bombings and also we had the blitz in WW2 same as most of Europe did. So i think overal, as sad as terror attacks are, for most countries, weve had worse and thats something we can look back on for strength. America never had that, they dont know how to deal with these situations. And, in all honesty, dealt with it badly.
Members of the extreme right (Which now includes the republican party) would state that this was clearly a punishment from God cause of whatever country's godless behavior. Then they would snicker some and talk about how something like that could NEVER happen in the great USA. Because well.. you know.. as we all know Americans are a special kind of race.
Or something like that.
And oh yea! FOX News would support all that and claim everybody that does not agree are commies, crazies, softheaded, pinheads, socialists and what have you.

Well, you are right about the ''getting bored of Haiti and Japan'', but that was because the only thing that was on the news for 2 months straight were those things, like nothing else was going on in the world. And i'm not even Haiti or Japan. Not even close. Or on the same continent.
Back to topic here, I don't think it would have made quite so much of an impact if this were to have happend anywhere else. But I think that's because it happend on something so iconic. When you arrive in New York, the first thing that you see (or saw) were the Twin Towers. And need I mention that world famous picture of the Statue of Liberty with the towers burning in the background? I mean, like I said, I'm not from the US, and I knew those towers. And I was only 7 at that point. It was more that a landmark, almost the ultimate symbol of capitalism and what the US could achieve, was destroyed then the nearly 3000 people that were killed. That sounds incredably harsh, but it's true.

I know other countries wouldnt start a war over it. But then most countries dont have the manpower/fire power as America has. Maybe Europe would work together and strategic bomb certain places or send special forces into track him down. But the difference being would be that America wouldnt have helped at all. Like with Libya, Obama stayed out of that one and didnt help, but now its finished and we won out Obama crawls out the woodwork trying ride on our coat tails and bathe in the glory. But, in respect to the American people, George Bush jnr was a pussy anyway and i think he was forced into as he has no back bone. But then i could be wrong.
9/11, 1973 the day the CIA replaced Salvador Allende with a blood thirsty nutcase...
9/11, 2002 the day the world trade centers came down, still less tragic than the above.
So life would go on, because 9/11 computerate the less tragic one of these because Americans are egotistical

That is literally the most arrogant thing I've ever heard. Well done, you've managed to make the reaction to mass murder into some "MY COUNTRY IS BETTER THAN YOURS" bullsh*t.Samurai Silhouette said:

I may have taken the highlighted statement the wrong way, but it's easy to see why. It was 2001, the middle of an economic boom, the likes of which we've never seen. Look at the UK, Germany, France and China. Those countries could have easily afforded war back then.Samurai Silhouette said:

The town where I live (although I wasn't old enough to now remember) was bombed on two occasions by the IRA.
My best friend and her mum was nearly caught in it.
OT: As someone's already said, going by how we deal with other disasters (Japan earthquakes; The tsunami a few years back), no one would care past a month or two.
Even a small European country like the one I live in has featured TV-shows about 9/11 this whole week now, underlining 'how terrible it was'.
It makes me have a bad taste in my mouth, knowing that at least 50 times as much civilians died in the subsequent war-mongering seizure of oil bringing of peace and democracy.

I'm sure if it was britain the RAF would be scrambled when a plane started to drift off course and I wouldve been shot down well before it became a major threat. The USAF shouldve really made half an effort to intercept atleast one of the planes especially after the first one hit
I agree, they are, but for how long? America is in major debt and crippled economy. China rich and is catching up fast and so is Russia once more. An they are two countries i dont think America will fight. The Uk was a world superpower before America, and we lost that title after being made bankrupt due to fighting WW2.Delsana said:
