Re: US WTC Terrorist Attack Response (archive)

I too would like some clarification of the statement "For years, the American government has massacred hundreds of thousands of middle-eastern people". Israel, a country surrounded by governments and people sworn to destroy it, has been in a self defense mode since the creation of their country. While opinions as to how they've done that vary and would warrant endless debate, to somehow correlate the actions of terrorists from the Middle East or any other part of the world is a real stretch in my opinion. And to correlate our support of Democracy anywhere, to terror is an insult. I too, pray that our President makes the right decision in responding to this crisis. I will have to live with whatever decision my President makes, as citizens of other countries have to live with the decisions their leaders make.

Dear Simeon,
The western world could be in grave danger if President Bush decides to go to war against the Middle East. In my opinion, the United states has to attack bit by bit the people who are responsible for this, and not the innocent people who have nothing to do with it whatsoever.
For years, the American government has massacred hundreds of thousands of middle-eastern people. Just like Human beings and just like us, when someone attacks them, they feel the need to retaliate. I am not at all condoning this act, but you would know the extreme hatred that exists towards Americans in these countries, and people don't hate others for absolutely no reason. In my judgement, the American people have been ignorant to what has been going on in the Middle east for years, and by striking against Teleban and Afghanistan, they would only cause dire consequences for more innocent citizens of the Western World. The government of Teleban made a statement which read: "If the United States takes retalitary action against teleban and Afghanistan, no Westerner will be safe"
Do we really need this to happen? If this breaks out into a holy war, the end of humanity may not be far off, and how crazy it may seem to some, If President Bush carries out war on these countries, innocent people all over the world may be the victims of mass murder on a fanatical scale.
I hope that it does not come to this, but we need to pray to the good lord that your president makes the right decision.
