By killing 1 terrorist you create 5 new ones.
I really think the war on terrorism isn't achieving its goal at all, it just makes everything worse.
As far as i know there wasn't any terrorist attack during the 8 years of Clinton, although he did not fight terrorism like Bush is doing it.
During the 4 years of Bush the danger of a terrorist attack didn't decrease at all, it only increased.
Moreover i wanted to state an interesting fact:
September 11 2001 around 2500 americans died because of a terrorist attack.
Both in Afghanistan and Iraq much more than 2500 innocent people died because of the USA.
And then i wanted to give my 2 cents about 9/11.
It seems everyone is just searching for faults or lies in this movie and no one cares about those things which weren't proven wrong. There may be things which are hard to believe or which were invented, but there are certainly also things which are true and i'd like you to think about those things rather than about the little details that may not be correct.
And then i'd like to defend Mr Pet Rat a bit:
Quote: "Saddam killed more innocent people
and so did Osama."
Erm give me some proof! I don't think Osama killed more innocent ppl than Bush! And as Pet Rat already said, it doesn't even matter whether they killed more innocent ppl or not.
Quote: "
And where's your proof that he's killed innocent people??
"
Erm, is that a joke?
Quote: "When it boils down to it, Bush is a human being, he had the power to stop the senseless murdering of other innocent human beings and prevent more terrorists attacks in his country.
"
WTF have those terrorist attacks to do with Iraq?
Bush only attacked Iraq for economical reasons and everything with the money of the tax payer.
Quote: "I think you've been in France too long their buddy. I know it's all peaceful there, no worries, nobody cares about the French and their... butter.
Take a step back and put yourself in his shoes. You'll see differently, I promise.
"
WTF? this is not only senseless, this is offencive! Please stop those senseless attacks and only write something if you actually have a point.
Quote: "Rat, I love ya man, but that last post just proves you have no idea what's going on between the U.S. and other nations.
"
Erm, i don't think the relations between the USA and other nations have anything to do with that post you're referring to.
Go and read Pet Rat's post again and you'll see that your post is completely senseless.
Quote: "Honestly, I don't think anyone wants to have control over Iraq right now.
"
That however proves that YOU don't know what you're talkin about!
Let's do that slow so that you can understand:
-1000 years ago a farmer only survived when he "produced" more energy(which means "using the energy from the sun") than he used to live.
Mathematically this would look like this:
(produced energy/used energy) > 1
-Today however it looks like this:
(produced energy/used energy) << 1
Why does this work? Because we use energy that is stored in nature, ie. oil or Uran-235.
This increased drastically our capacity: Using this energy, agriculture is much more efficient.
Much more ppl could live in the same place (150 ppl*km^-2 is actually not possible)
-Around 2/3 of all the oil sources is located in Iraq, Kuwait and Iran. In USA and Europe, around 90% of all energy is "produced" by oil. A US citizen uses around 2 times as much energy as an European.
-As you may probably know, in 40 years the oil is so expensive that no one can buy it anymore. So it's economically very important to save those oil sources.
Cuz it will be very hard to replace those 90% with some alternative energy and therefore the countries which are in possesion of oil will have much more power.
So guess why USA attacked Iraq!! Certainly not because of WMD's or Saddam!
Quote: "Pet Rat-> Jimmy's right... you really don't understand the politics.
"
Do you think that you're better? From my point of view Pet Rat doesn't seem to know less about politics than you!!! A mod should be a good example, but you're a bad one!
So that's all i got to say!
