THEREFORE.....


Therefore......what? What exactly is your assertion? That the US forced our ally Pakistan to hire terrorists to attack....ourselves? That just doesn't sound likely.

Or, if you assert that Israel is behind the 9/11 plot, then could you please provide some actual evidence for that idea? Some guy with a website announcing that Israelis in New York were warned is not evidence. All he is doing is repeating the same made-up stuff some Arab paper put out to pander to their audiences of Israeli hating Arabs. Plenty of Israelis and Jews died in the World Trade Center, and it is up to you to overcome that presumptive evidence by actually showing an instance where Israelis got out of the way of the incoming planes.

If you can't do that, then all you have left is a lot of hyperlinked nonesense. Just because you have a lot of cow dung, that doesn't necessarily mean you have a lot of prime beef.

WFHermans,

Your "CNN Story" was nothing more than just a cut and past, no link. I suspect that you are not up to writing it on your own, so you must have picked it up from someone slightly smarter at www.usetinfoilhatstodefeattheCIA.com

You also have no clear grasp on History outside of "The Turner Diaries", it seems. Perhaps 30,000 died immediatly following the Hiroshima bomb (I will concede the likelyhood that many more died from radiation-related illneses late in life.) The Hrioshima and Nagasakia Bombs were what is known as "Chump Change" compared to the Allied Firebombing of Dresden(which was a watse), Tokyo (which was necessary, as we were fast running out of options), and the German firebombing of Conventry.

Nowadays, those poor innocent Hiroshima civilians still go to shrines to war heros, including "Section 10", the equilivant of Josef Mandel's experiaments on the Jews. I have no sympathy for any idiots, no matter what the nationality. I think Pro-confederate yahoos are dumbasses (excepting MtG, of course), and I think epople who are grabbing their news (or making it up) from the one website you listed are dumbasses.

Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

"How can you allow Pakistan, who is all chummy with Hizbollah, the Islamic Jihad, the warlords trying to overthrow the current Afghan government, etc., posess these weapons?"

FACT: The islamic fundamentalists came to power in Iran thanks to French and US (peanut-brain Jimmy Carter) support. Although Bush the Elder opposed this so he isn't all bad.

Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Lonestar,

I'll have to disagree with some of your statements. Hiroshima and Nagasaki probably resulted in at least 150,000 dead, most of them civilians. That's not "chump change" even by the standards of Tokyo or Dresden.

Also, I have to take issue with the idea that Tokyo was necessary. It wasn't. By February 1945 the Japanese were beaten. They knew it. We knew. Bombing Tokyo with incendieries was not necessary, it was convenient. And it is certainly arguable that killing hundreds of thousands of civilians for military convenience is morally wrong.

That's not to say that the Japanese didn't commit their own share of outrages, and before us. But the contention that we "needed" to bomb Japanese cities is pure rationalization.
