  I realize this is off-topic, but it's something that's come up on every
  mailing list I'm on, and I felt the need to answer the various people
  who've asked for my opinion (and, in fact, all of the people who didn't)
  all at once.

  First of all, The United states has spent the past 56 years making enemies
  of the entire rest of the world, and now it's coming back to haunt them.

  Fact: An estimated One MILLION Iraq citizens have died since Desert Storm
  as a result of health problems and sanctions placed upon that country by
  the United States. Gulf War Syndrome, Depleted Uranium shells left in the
  ground, and poverty in the streets have led to approximately 8,333 deaths
  every single month since that war. Many, if not most of them, children.
  Can anyone blame the Arabs for viewing the united states as pure evil for
  inflicting this upon them?

  Fact: Bin Laden, the fellow popularly blamed for the attack on NYC and
  Washington was trained by the CIA in terrorist tactics. Don't believe me?
  Check this out: http://msnbc.com/news/190144.asp?cp1=1 . The United States
  has for decades now supported international terrorism in the name of
  supporting their political agendas worldwide. The examples are too
numerous
  to name, but include Brazil, Cuba, Afghanistan... in short, the US is
  willing to train and pay terrible people to commit terrible crimes in
order
  to force their agenda upon the world.

  Fact: The US, for all that they have no target to attack; no clear
  culprit-nation to launch an attack against, is asking for financial aid
  from the world to supplement the $300 billion they already spend EVERY
YEAR
  on their military budget (13 times what their next closest competitor
  annually spends). One might ask one''s self what they need all that cash
  for; their military force is already demonstratively so far in advance of
  any opposition they might face. Of course, George Bush wants this to be a
  ground war, so perhaps the US's technology and military readiness doesn't
  matter.

  Fact: That footage which aired of Palestinian children celebrating in the
  streets which was aired time and time and time again was actually filmed
  TEN YEARS EARLIER. CNN whipped it out because they felt it would be an
  effective means to help whip the US citizenry into a frenzy. Your own
media
  is willing to lie to you in order to elicit the reactions they want from
  you. Beware.

  In the end, it seems to me that there are a lot of lessons to be learned
  from this terrible tragedy. First among them is that the USA cannot
  continue to bully the world without fear of repercussions forever. The
  millions upon millions of civilians which the US has killed over the years
  were joined this week in death by a few thousand US citizens. Should the
US
  decide to continue with their wanton bloodshed, this cycle of violence
will
  never end. Vengeance begets vengeance begets vengeance.

  Yes, it was terrible what happened in the US this week. But that doesn't
  justify the Us doing the exact same thing to whatever city their enemies
  live in. Not only would bombing another city be just as evil an act on the
  part of the US as that which was perpetrated upon them, it will just lead
  to yet more violence, and yet more deaths. And nobody will benefit from
that.

  I urge each of you to read up on some of the pertinent facts at hand here
  from some people who are more interested in reporting the truth than in
  keeping the sponsors happy:

  Michael Moore speaks out about the US's abuses of the rest of the world...
  http://www.michaelmoore.com/2001_0912.html

  Michael Moran talks about Bin Laden's CIA training...
  http://msnbc.com/news/190144.asp?cp1=1

  Finally, Counterpunch; who have been reporting all the things the
  mainstream media has been refusing to...
  http://www.counterpunch.org

  And that's what I have to say about that.
