If you read the article, it looks like a big operation, with many nationailities involved.

The suspects are from several different middle eastern countries.

German prosecutors said they were investigating a Hamburg-based terrorist network formed "to attack the United States in a spectacular way through the destruction of symbolic buildings".

The thing is that these bastards targetted a MULTI NATIONAL building that whilst in New York actually contained the offices of companies from all over the world.

This is a grave mistake on the terrorists part because the entire world has had the shit scared out of them rather than just the USA.

So now the US has a mandate and the approval of the world to kick 7 shits out of whoever did this. In fact NATO has invoked Article 5, which means that the rest of the world could have a chance to lay the boot in anyway.

I agree, no nukes and no civilian casualties even though their civilians are jumping for joy because of the attack. I really want to say fuck the lot of them, but that would only make us worse.
Take out the ones who did it and the rest of the hierarchy, so the civilians might think twice about joining them coz thery know what they will get.

A good point made earlier about Americans (some of them) funding the IRA coz we Brits have had to put up with this shit a lot longer than the Americans.
However, we haven't experienced anything like this.


PS: I figured out how to do the smilies, so:

:firedevil :touch: :eek6: :cowsleep:


ahem.....sorry

Oh the days when 15 year olds think they have the body of an adult because they have a couple of pubes. How fun it would be to be so stupid and ignorant and be unawares of it.

editorial, by columnist Leonard Pitts, appeared Wed., Sept. 12, in the Miami Herald

We'll go forward from this moment

It's my job to have something to say.
They pay me to provide words that help make sense of that which troubles the American soul. But in this moment of airless shock when hot tears sting disbelieving eyes, the only thing I can find to say, the only words that seem to fit, must be addressed to the unknown author of this suffering.

You monster. You beast. You unspeakable bastard.

What lesson did you hope to teach us by your coward's attack on our World Trade Center, our Pentagon, us? What was it you hoped we would learn? Whatever it was, please know that you failed.

Did you want us to respect your cause? You just damned your cause.

Did you want to make us fear? You just steeled our resolve.

Did you want to tear us apart? You just brought us together.

Let me tell you about my people. We are a vast and quarrelsome family, a family rent by racial, social, political and class division, but a family nonetheless. We're frivolous, yes, capable of expending tremendous emotional energy on pop cultural minutiae -- a singer's revealing dress, a ball team's misfortune, a cartoon mouse. We're wealthy, too, spoiled by the ready availability of trinkets and material goods, and maybe because of that, we walk through life with a certain sense of blithe entitlement. We are fundamentally decent, though -- peace-loving and compassionate. We struggle to know the right thing and to do it. And we are, the overwhelming majority of us, people of faith, believers in a just and loving God.

Some people -- you, perhaps -- think that any or all of this makes us weak. You're mistaken. We are not weak. Indeed, we are strong in ways that cannot be measured by arsenals.


IN PAIN

Yes, we're in pain now. We are in mourning and we are in shock. We're still grappling with the unreality of the awful thing you did, still working to make ourselves understand that this isn't a special effect from some Hollywood blockbuster, isn't the plot development from a Tom Clancy novel. Both in terms of the awful scope of their ambition and the probable final death toll, your attacks are likely to go down as the worst acts of terrorism in the history of the United States and, probably, the history of the world. You've bloodied us as we have never been bloodied before.

But there's a gulf of difference between making us bloody and making us fall. This is the lesson Japan was taught to its bitter sorrow the last time anyone hit us this hard, the last time anyone brought us such abrupt and monumental pain. When roused, we are righteous in our outrage, terrible in our force. When provoked by this level of barbarism, we will bear any suffering, pay any cost, go to any length, in the pursuit of justice.

I tell you this without fear of contradiction. I know my people, as you, I think, do not. What I know reassures me. It also causes me to tremble with dread of the future.

In the days to come, there will be recrimination and accusation, fingers pointing to determine whose failure allowed this to happen and what can be done to prevent it from happening again. There will be heightened security, misguided talk of revoking basic freedoms. We'll go forward from this moment sobered, chastened, sad. But determined, too. Unimaginably determined.


THE STEEL IN US

You see, the steel in us is not always readily apparent. That aspect of our character is seldom understood by people who don't know us well. On this day, the family's bickering is put on hold.

As Americans we will weep, as Americans we will mourn, and as Americans, we will rise in defense of all that we cherish.

So I ask again: What was it you hoped to teach us? It occurs to me that maybe you just wanted us to know the depths of your hatred. If that's the case, consider the message received. And take this message in exchange: You don't know my people. You don't know what we're capable of. You don't know what you just started.

But you're about to learn.

The story about 5 firemen surviving under the rubble of the WTC in a sports utility vehicle was apperently made up.
Doesnt look like mich hope for anyone. Not that it looked like there would be, but I'm sure that story would have given false hope to a lot of AMerican families.

2 did survive. Saw the footage, but not sure about other 3.

Our company had 700 employees working in and around the World Trade Centre. Thankfully the vast majority are fine, but 4 are reported missing by their families, and there are an unspecified number unaccounted for.

Undoubtedly many, many multinational companies find themselves in this position.

My thoughts and prayers go out to them all.

I found this while surfing, Moby's diary. It's very emotional. Give it a read, it gives a very personal look at the recent events.

I wouldn't go as far as saying that. The USA is stocked to the gills in terms of money and can repair the damage. The only damage that can't be repaired is the emotional trauma and the lives that have been lost.

He can run, but he can't hide!

A bit of stealth from the american 'folks' should be enough to capture Bin Laden and his rats from one of his little mole camps.

Surely they would have sent out a special forces team years ago if that was a feasible option.
