    I would like to see a break down of how many of those deaths were at the hands of the terrorists cells themselves.

        While the 9/11 was most tragic and killed a lot of people at one time, does anyone ever stop to think MORE have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan and they were all young men fighting for our country. Think of how many people were killed in blown up airliners. Think how many people are killed daily in car crashes or some other ways of dying. We tend to forget about these people and their griefs. Yet we think the 9/11 deaths is the most tragic - when it is no more so than any way of dying. All those people in 9/11 wil reap thousands and thousands of dollars for their loved ones deaths, what will the others killed receive? Do they not matter too?

          CodeNameHawk, there's a big difference between accidental deaths and on-purpose deaths. That's why you go to jail for less time for manslaughter than a premeditated murder.

          The number of deaths and total cost should be a wake-up call to anyone who would consider joining the call for Jihad. Consider how better your energies could be spent. Poverty? Well, al queda has just ensured that not only will the nations who need economic aid won't get it, they've potentially sealed the fate of the nations that would help them... Nice job!

            Pay attention, everybody. The war on terror is actually the war on truth. 911 was a total set-up. Iraq is a sham. Hundreds of millions of OUR dollars are going into the hands of arms makers, for a fabricated war. This is like Joseph Stalin's pogroms. All patriotic Americans should do everything within their ability to remove the Bush administration, but peaceful, legal means.

              Don't forget our President believes in the Right to Life. For every stem cell he saves he kills another thousand cilvilians, otherwise known as collateral of war to him. Save them before they're living and breathing life forms but kill them while they're alive. Heh, heh, heh.

                Looks like the Brits need to pony up a good bit more to uphold their end of the game. US spending at 56 to 1? Oh well, they were slackers in WWI and WWII as well. At least not as worthless as the French who had their asses bailed out too, and now, if anything, they seem to be on the side of the terrorists

                    Bush is not pro-life, he's pro-birth and there's a huge difference. The stem cell veto was purely a political move to satisfy his condervative base which completely backfired.

                      congratulations to all the dumb bastards that voted for this idiot in the first place.. an inarticulate deserter who was complicit in the destruction of the wtc's and waited for over a year to have an investigation into the real cause but still nobody believes the obvious..

                      can anyone say gullible?

                        Mencken stated something like you can never go broke underestimating the stupidity of an American.

                        The presentations airing on CBS&ABC this moment will deliberately leave out facts to exclude the media's and telephone companies responsibilities in the WTC&Pentagon disasters. Radical presentations like ThePowerHour.com's were tailored made to take the burden off the media and telephone companies' shoulders who are being covered for by the NJ/NY police/FBI on a 24/7/12/365 basis. ThePowerHour alleges/suggests that a military strike took out the WTC and the Pentagon. They made this presentation to cover up television programming. They did it because the top executives of the NYC media and the Bell System were/are supposed to be arrested. They did it cover up for the their fellow media entertainers. ThePowerHour.com never mentioned a single reference to 9/11 being the same numbers and the date as 911 the police emergency network telephone number.

                            As a nation, we need to consider how many people we have killed in our pursuit of revenge. After a while, enough is enough. I talk to people at work who would nuke the Islamic nations in retaliation. This is too much. Enough is enough. Cease taking our revenge, and the war on terror will not end, because it will never end, but it will slow down a bit, and that's all we can ever hope for. Yes, 3,300 died, but we have long since killed many times over that many Muslims. We have had our revenge.

                                  Don't make assumptions (deliberately, in the case of the Zionists and naively, in the case of the Gentiles) that Arabs were behind 9/11.

                                  The evidence does not point to the Arabs. The evidence points to the Israelis as the masterminds of this false flag operation designed to frame Arabs:-

                                  http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/wrh_9-11_index.html

                                  * Read about how all Arab websites were shut down preemptively so that Arabs could not protest their innocence.

                                  * Read about how Silverstein, the owner of the WTC took out insurance and made billions.

                                  * Read about how people made massive stock gains with 9/11

                                  http://www.gatago.com/alt/crime/3121492.html

                                  * Read about how a 9/11 crook flees to Israel with 57 million.

                                  http://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/forum.cgi?read=91721

                                  Don't let the Zionists railroad you into believing a lie.

                                  The facts are indisputable: Israel did 9/11 and Bush covers up for them.

                                      It's not as if the Israelis have not done false flags on Americans before:-

                                      1. Lavon Affair

                                      http://www.davidduke.com/?p=272#more-272

                                      Israelis impersonate Arabs and try and bomb American installations, planning to frame Arabs and incite Americans to attack Arabs.

                                      The terrorists are honored by the Israeli PM and given Certificates of Appreciation.

                                      2. USS Liberty

                                      http://69.28.73.17/documentaries.html

                                      Israelis kill navy personnel on USS Liberty hoping to frame Egyptians as the attackers and get America pulled into the 1967 War.

                                      Also see King David Hotel bombing, Beirut Barracks bombing, London bus bombing .....

                                      Impersonating, blowing up and framing - it seems a way of life for them.
