Dont try to argue with him Rino, he is beyond help in this matter... The man actually considers 911 terrorists and US soldiers morally comporable - to him they are only different in the weapons they use..

Heh ask an assshole a question, expect an assshole reply.

Congrats, Nilson. Your the first person I've ever put on my ignore list. Though I like reading opposing opinions, your either a kid or a troll, and I can't be bothered with either.

Do me a favor, when you visit the US again, Nilson...

Don't.

Bingo. The targets were largely symbolic. There are much better ways to kill thousands or tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. Just goes to show how short-sighted the Al Qaeda are.

Let's just hope that the DHS has been wargaming the worst-case scenarios... and don't delude yourselves. It could have been MUCH worse.

It all depends on the context.

The sad part is that Nilsen is right and you all don't get it. The WTC and Pentagon were fitting symbolic targets for what Al Quada considers powers that meddle in Middle Eastern affairs, and people from 80 different countries were killed in the terrorist attacks. The WTC was a major centre of international commerce, including oil trade. A coincidence? I think not. The buildings themselves and what they represent was the target ... the people were just a bonus.

And I suppose Al Qaeda's plans to down doizens of airliners over the pacific were ment to bankrupt the airline industry?

yeah.

Think abou this for a minute.. IF the western world for some reason wanted to attack the muslims were it hurt them most... Would "we" hit a market in large town to kill the most muslims? or would we hit muslim symbols like mosques and other religius symbols?

I think Al-Jazeera is the Islamic version of The National Enquirer...journalisticly speaking.
Sorry to jump in this late and hijack the thread.

No, but we al saw what happened after 911 and what happens when airplanes are targeted. Its spreads fear, and i bet you know what happens to the economy when these things happen. Remember the airlines that went bancrupt and what hapended with stocks?

We would kill all of them if it ever came to that, take out the largest population centers.

So if the west was in some some sort of bizzare religious fanatic war aginst the muslim world we wouldnt take out their biggest population centers?

My understanding of your qestion was what would the west do if they were al qaeda.

My answer was, we would wipe out their biggest population centers ( I suppose implying use of our nukes)

Al qaeda and succesors would do and will try to do the same when they succeed in getting a nuke...

Does anyone seriously disagree with this hypothetical assesement?
