    I had wanted to write on this myself. I didn't know if i should or if it were appropriate.

    I guesss that is one of the few good news we get to hear. We do need to hear some of these stories to get away from listening to people trying to figure out the estimates of the bodies. It's really sad that people can do this to eachother. Even the animal race is proper to its own kind.

    I don't know who the people are or why they did what they did, but there seems to investigations towards certain people. I just hope and pray it's not muslims because i'm a muslim. This would make me even more angry and disturbed that a person following my religion would do something like this. Anyway, i don't want bring religion and all this into this. It's a human issue and it's plain wrong.

    You know it's not all those things they are showing on tv that gets to me. It's the thought of the buliding collapsing on the volunteers and the firefighters that went back to help people.

    Tomorrow, a large number of people are fasting and praying for all those people and i guess we can even pray for the human race.

    I pray that we won't see this sort of tragedy again...even though it's over there in America it feels like it just happened in my own backyard...the coverage here is enormous.

    I also pray that those "creatures"responsible and their handlers meet their (insert very harsh description here) end.

    I've never been so angry in my life. How can some religious fanatics think that they can got to 'heaven' by doing this? They did find out that these were militant islamics (no offense to good islam followers). I was also angry when I saw that kids in the Palestinian areas and their parents were celebrating. Celebrating the death of innocent lives? People like that deserve to suffer. We in the free world deserve to prosper.

    This might sound corny, but I think its true. We WILL NEVER have World Peace. People are idiots. People exploit religion to use as their own personal gain and justifications. When has there ever been world peace? The corny part is that the only time we will ever see world peace is when some big ass asteriod is headed our way and send our asses to kingdom come. Or even like Independence Day, if some aliens came an invaded us, we'd actually consider human beings as colleagues.

    If we do find that Afghanistan is part of this and they don't give us Bin Laden, then I hope we turn that country into a basketball court.

    This is much deeper than "people celebrating the death of innocent lives". It's not for anyone here to judge.


    I feel for everyone that lost anything in that tragedy.

    But it's not OUR place to judge anything.

    It's terrible, it shouldn't have happened, but it's probably far deeper than just these coupe of crashes.


    I hope all your family/friends are ok, no one deserves that horrible fate.

    I think ignorant is a better term.

    I find it somewhat ironic that most of these terrorist are relatively young (early to mid 20's). Most of them seem to be solely devoted to their religion and seem to have no 'normal' family life. Obviously, most of them have never had any children. I'm expecting my first child in a few months and am ashamed and scared of how humanity will treat my daughter during her lifetime.

    Part of the overall problem is the mileage separation. Most of the anti-American attitudes have never had any experience with American culture. They only see how our government operates and supports others in their regions of the globe. Education for them and for us about how important living within our own cultures and understanding their cultures is extremely important.

    I am keeping all people affected by this in my thoughts. I can only hope that a unification of 'civilized' countries can help rid our world of these parasitic individuals...and then attempt to educate about tolerance.

    This just sucks, and we can't do anything about it without losing some of our personal freedoms. However, America is still the best place live, and will continue to be so. My prayers go out for all the victims and family of victims.

    Not for anyone to judge? Then i guess all laws should be eliminated because we shouldn't judge anyone on what they do to anyone else. that sounds like a poor example of some horrible christian sermon. WE DO judge people on this planet. thats what laws are for, if we didn't then there would be no order or disipline for a lot of people. If you think its only GOD that is suppose to judge anyone then you are wrong, he judges us when we go to heaven (or hell), but as long as we are on this planet we are the judges of ourselves(at least thats what the bible says).

    Let's say the US drops a nuke on Afghanistan, killing tons of innocent women and children...

    You don't think that there will be Americans dancing in the streets?

    And if something like that did happen, and the Palestinians see Americans dancing in the streets, what do you think there reaction would be?

    Maybe they'll think "Those evil Americans deserve to suffer"...

    There's no way I'm going to justify Americans dancing in the streets if they bomb another country, but the Palestineans were dancing in the street because of an unprovoked terrorist attacked. That's sick and twisted.

    Dude, the palestines teach their kids to hate. They have songs that mention isreal and the us as enemies. Seen those pictures of the 10 yr old's shooting AK-47s in the air to celebrate the NYC bombing? they play with dolls dressed up as suicide bombers. I'm angry that parents teach their kids this. At least we try to have morals.

    Unfortunately, we can't be too politically correct, if a nation harbors know terrrorist, then we should take action on their government. tell the civilians to get their ass out of town, and we turn afghanistan into a basketball court.

    If Bin Laden gets killed, yeah, I'll go to sixth street and hit the dance clubs.

    It probably means that all atheists are going to hell, and it tries to be funny at the end. Not too cool.
