First things first, dipshit, expecting something does not automatically include an automatic understanding of what causes that which is expected. Plenty of people expect a car to start when the ignition is is activated. That does not meant that they understand how it works or why. I expect terrorism because a very small minority of our global population is bat shit crazy, it doesn’t meant that I understand how a person can reach that level of craziness.

And your comments come down to “The U.S.A. is evil and kills people, so now people kill U.S. citizens.” and you thrown out examples from wars.

How many of his own people did Mr. Stalin kill, eh Comrade? How many nations did Stalin absorb into the Soviet Union and how much violence did that lead to? What is the most widely used firearm in the world? Hint: It didn’t come from the U.S.A.! The AK-47 has killed more people than the U.S. military forces ever had. Let’s not even get into Soviet built land mines.

And we can talk about the United Kingdom, or China, or Israel, or pretty much any modern nation that has a military and enemies and use your argument to justify killing anyone. The problem is that it doesn’t play out like that at all.

You skipped over all of the diplomacy that goes into the prevention of conflicts. You certainly didn’t mention how the U.S.A. did appeal the U.N. before launching an attack against Iraq. You certainly skipped over how Iran and the U.S.A. do talk to each other through diplomatic channels, and that in a recent Presidential debate the American people were calling out one of the candidates for his views on Iran and Syria (not to mention his understanding of geography)m, because many of us are against any type of military conflict involving U.S. troops. That is why many of us vote for candidates who promise to end wars, and who are doing so.

No, your whole argument is based on the fallacy that “The U.S. is a bloody tyrant facist of the world.” Wake up buttercup. This nation is powerful, but nowhere near THAT powerful.

Again, I’m not trying to convince you of anything. I just want anyone who comes to this site to see your comments for what they really are – a simpleton’s excuse to blame everything on people he doesn’t like so that he can justify killing people in his own head.

You are pathetic. I’m so happy that you decided not to comment on this site anymore. Now I can disable your account, knowing that you had your final say.

Good riddance.

If you expect terrorist acts to occur, it’s rather strange to ask questions like “why were all of those people murdered”, as you do in your post.
They were murdered, as I have already written, because millions of people around the world have been shown that murdering hundreds of thousands of civilians to further your political goals is perfectly fine. This is the very essence of the issue: you, both you as a person, you as a state and you as a civilization, don’t understand that murdering innocent people is absolutely abhorrent. Your justifications like “we sent them a note that warned them we’re going to kill them”, “there were people with guns stationed at the other end of town from them” or “our mass murderers wore similar clothes, unlike their mass murderers” are pathetic.

That history of violence is what gave the terrorists both the reasons to act and the ability to justify those acts before their supporters. And, of course, it gave them people willing to sacrifice themselves to harm others: what were they doing that for, if not revenge? Just like the Chechens and the rest of them?

You really should try actually reading people’s comments, – not that I hope you’re starting with mine. Maybe then you’d have noticed that the Soviet propaganda piece I referenced to show that even a work so obviously ideologically motivated still manages to predict the predatory actions of the lone superpower left without checks and balances.

And no, I don’t think it’s me who should be feeling shame. I am not the one electing leaders who’ve had more than a quarter million civilians killed in the last decade alone, and then crying crocodile tears of surprise and anger when the peoples being murdered dare fight back. I am not the one justifying mass murder simply because it was performed after a formal declaration and by men in uniforms.

Your words. Note the last one – “deserve”.

Tell me again how you meant “expected” versus “justified”?

I expect the sun to come up tomorrow. I expect any powerful nation to have enemies. I expect wars to happen, and I expect terrorist acts to occur.

But when you say that people deserve a terrorist act, any people mind you, then you are justifying the act of terrorism.

Is it sinking in yet, skippy? Probably not. It isn’t like I even want to change your mind, because any moron who believes that those 5,000+ people who died in the twin towers got what they “deserved” is too far gone to reason with.

Nope, the only reason that I am even replying to you and letting your account to remain active is because I want anyone else who comes to this site to see your crazy dipshit talk and see all the holes I’ve punched in your arguments.

U.S. destroyed whole cities? You cited three incidents. All during WWII. All against nations that we were at war with.

You then tried to equate that to being the same thing as a terrorist attack. Which is ridiculous because the terrorist were in no way a recognized authority, nor was there ever a formal declaration of war. That was the apples and watermelons part, if you can remember that far back.

Then you back pedaled and tried to say “Expected! Not justified.” But your very first comment on this post shows that you meant justified.

So go ahead, and keep trying to justify the 9/11 attacks. Then you can go on to justify the IRA bombings against innocent people. Then you can go on to justify the 1999 apartment bombings in Russia. Because your stupid twisted logic is that the citizens of powerful nations being killed in a terrorist attack is what they “deserve”.

And when I showed your pathetic comments to a Russian friend who lived in Moscow for most of his life all he could do was laugh and say “Anyone who quotes Soviet propaganda as a way to support anything is woefully ignorant of what Soviet propaganda did to the Russian people.”

Get your head checked. Your comments clearly justified murder. Have you no sense of shame for even allowing that kind of filth to come forth from you? Probably not.

Oh, and all three were bombed when the U.S.A. had an official declaration of war against Japan and Germany.

Like I said, read a history book. You obviously need to.

Since I am an atheist I noticed that there is no god a long time ago. When any leader claims divine mandate I know that it is bullshit regardless of the nation that they represent.

But we’re de-stabilizing the world? Bullshit again. The Middle East has been destabilized long before the oil was discovered there.

Has the U.S.A. made mistakes? Of course. Does any innocent person deserve to be murdered? Of course not.

You came here and posted a comment that justified murder. Plain and simple. I don’t care how you try to justify it – murder is wrong. And that is the problem with war, any war, because it is organized murder or the threat of murder. Which is why declarations of war are made. They are warnings that anyone within the warring nations are not safe.

SO WHEN A FUCKING TERRORIST ORGANIZATION STRIKES PEOPLE AT THEIR WHIM IT IS NOTHING LIKE A WAR BETWEEN NATIONS.

History lesson complete, son. Now go forth and keep your head out of your ass, or if you insist on keeping it there at least walk into traffic.

If you’re an atheist, you might notice that God hasn’t really been taking revenge upon himself since the biblical times. So next time you’re puzzled why the people in the WTC had to die, ask yourself, why did tens of thousands of iraqis have to die because someone over the ocean suspected their government might have chemical weapons (which it didn’t). And then got, by his own words, a divine mandate to attack them. Why hundreds of thousands of Japanese had to die in a single day, or were left to rot slowly of radiation poisoning. Was Hiroshima a symbol of Japanese nationalism, or a monument to Japanese politics and power?

You can’t endlessly destabilize the world without the desperate you’re creating fighting back. You can’t fight wars without casualties. And an eye for an eye is not exactly a religious principle, it’s natural to humans.

On a side note, legality of international actions is not determined by whether other polities like them – because really, quite few actions would be legal then. Similarly, legality of elections is not determined by whether international powers like their results, but purely by how democratic they are: for example, by whether they’re held under the barrels of the occupants’ guns, like the recent ones in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Plus did the military act on bad intelligence? You just kind of gloss over how in war bad information leads to civilian casualties, and no nation is immune to that. It happens, and it is horrible, and it is absolutely nothing like a planned terrorist attack against civilian targets. You are comparing apples with oranges. Better yet, apples with watermelons.

Keep your biblical quotes to yourself please. I’m an atheist and think that “Ye shall reap what ye has sown.” bullshit thinking is what gets some murdering fuck thinkg it is okay to crash a plane into a building.

On a side note, it isn’t like the USSR had the support of the U.N. or the nations of the Middle East when it invaded Afghanistan because the people of Afghanistan decided to overthrow their government. Many considered it not to be a democratically elected government at all. You know, those evil Western governments like Egypt and China.
