people. Those people want revenge and justice, and supposedly strikes back
at the US, killing lots of Americans, so the Americans wants to get back at
them and so on and so forth. I'll ask the question again: What's the point?
Who's the bigger baby? Who's gonna step back, think about it a little and

Ok, that's three questions, two of which are new, but still.
Robber = terrorists
You = USA
What if a robber came to your house one day and took all your money? Would you want to fight back or keep him away?
He sees you don't seem to retaliate in self defense. So next day he comes and kills your wife and takes your kids. Would you fight back - take measures to assure it stops!?
If not, he could keep coming. That's what the USA won't stand for.
Originally posted by PhlabibitI don't see the use in dissing compassion and rememberance over tragedies, American or otherwise. When I woke up today I simply spent my morning drive thinking about 9/11 and the people who suffered on that day and since. There are other days I might think of other tragedies, none of them more important than the other. Having said that, I'm pretty sure I've "moved on."
Yes, I guess we need to separate "celebrate" and "remembered".

the first place. Or would you rather not accept that? Because if you think of it
that way, I can see the wheel spinning forever and ever. And again, what's
the point there?

You don't seem to get that your simplicity of reasoning will ultimately get you nowhere, as your believes are the exact same as those of the terrorists.
