scrambler Posted September 10, 2003 Posted September 10, 2003 The other September 11. What about this delightful character? Quote
Jim Posted September 10, 2003 Posted September 10, 2003 Now don't be confusing things here, Pinochet was one of our guys. Quote
lummox Posted September 10, 2003 Author Posted September 10, 2003 ya know. putting up pictures of cheney and kissinger and blair and pinochet is kina cute. but stupid. i guess you fuckers dont get that al qaedas stated intention is to kill your decadent ass. Quote
Alpinfox Posted September 10, 2003 Posted September 10, 2003 And the stated intention of the American government is to kill members of Al Queda while conducting a "war on terror" and "winning the battle for peace" and other nonsense. They want to maintain the status quo in which the first world exploits the third world to maintain our decadence. If I were in the third world and saw my culture/religion being overrun by consumerism, I'd be pissed too. They feel threatened and don't have the power/tools to fight back so they resort to guerilla tactics like terrorism. That's what the underdog always does. Quote
vegetablebelay Posted September 10, 2003 Posted September 10, 2003 Fuck you for attempting to justify their actions. Quote

Sphinx Posted September 10, 2003 Posted September 10, 2003 If you were in the Third World you probably wouldn't object to 'consumerism' as it's what puts bread in your mouth. You're just giving a lame-ass shortsighted excuse for why you just sit on your ass and ignore the poverty and duisease and other horrors going on in the world. Quote

I'm not trying to justify their actions, I'm justifying their feelings. Killing people is wrong no matter what color uniform you wear. I think that instead of disregarding Al Queda and other groups as crazy, demonic, "terrorists", it may be more illuminating to appreciate that they are real people with legitimate reasons for being angry at the US. Sphinx, I don't think I "ignore the poverty and disease" in the world any more than any other American. I like to think that by at least being aware of it, I'm ahead of the game. I would like to do more, any suggestions? Lummox, You're right that those countries aren't third world, though I think many of the citizens of those countries live as if they were in the third world. It's not really an essential element of my argument anyway. The central idea is that they value their culture and wish it to continue and they object to the "McDonaldization" of it. Spray is Fun! Cheers Ya'll. Quote

Yeah dude, I totally agree wit ya. Death sentence to the killers and to the planner. Thought I'd throw in some Pinochet considering the strange parallel for that date. For those who don't know, September 11, 1973 was the date when the freely elected President of Chile, Salvador Allende, was overthrown by a military coup led by General Pinochet. Didn't Secretary Colin Powell state earlier this year that the coup was..."not a part of American history that we're proud of"? "Covert actions are necessary to maintain a viable democracy." Oliver North during the Iran-Contra hearings Really? Quote
