Lets put it like this. All of you will hate me for this. And I will catch a lot of flakk for it. But here I go expressing my right to my opinion.
The world trade center is what we call a soft target. But a target why? Because its an economic hub by hitting this target you affect the economics of the country. The pentagon is not a soft target. It is a military target. The white house is a military target. Truth be told, Russia had/has missiles targeting those same locations. New York in general is a civilian, military, and economic target.
Hypothetical so I dont piss anyone off to bad. Lets say people in a country called caspia want to revolt. They cant hit civilian targets because of the collateral damage. They cant hit any government offices, because they also have day cares and civilians located in every government office. So, they figure hitting military targets, but they also house families and innocent people at caspia military bases. What does the Caspian revolutionaries do?
I do not like violence, am not a violent person. And I get upset when I hear of innocent life being lost at home or abroad because of war or violence. But am open minded which says a lot more than some people posting some pretty bigot stuf* on these forums. You would almost think they were little piggys oink. Snif* so what you have is a paradox. And every man or woman has to weigh the consequences of his or her actions with his or her own self value and belief.
Is the Terrorists Terrorists.. Really you want know the truth. Nope, far from it. If you know anything about the perception amongst people in the east of the Army of God then you would know. They are soldiers, religious zealots. They have been doing this since Mohammed. You cant stop them until they are all dead and their sect of Islam is eradicated. But America protects the biggest promoter of their belief system. Saudi Arabia. Not all Islam is the same. The people we are fighting are a small sect. They believe in only certain Prophets and teachings. They believe that Osama is a freaken prophet. Ya, unbelievable but its true.
So, ya as an American you have your beliefs and your point of view, because no one wants to be on the receiving end, and obviously you must have pride in your Country and culture because you identify with it and you will see things from only that perspective, but that is ok because I disagree with what you say and Ill defend with my life your right to do so, but as the existentialists say.. The only choice a man has is whether or not he wants to live.
Note:I do not sympathize with religious zealots of any kind.
