Now you've lost me completely. Which "HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT CIVILIANS" were killed as the price to avenge Ground Zero?? And who supposedly did all the killing??? Really????

Does anyone actually believe that if only the US had stopped pursuing Bin Laden way back when, the world would be a better place today?? That NOT pursuing or provoking this terrorist will somehow stop him from continuing his acts of terror??? Come on!!

Osama was NOT the US' personal terrorist -- He was the WORLD's! Here in Indonesia, Bin Laden financed bombing which killed hundreds in Bali & Jakarta. Although the victims were mostly foreigners in Indonesia, the legacy of his act of terror is very much felt by every single one of the Indonesian people who now have to go through vehicle searches, metal detectors, and bag/purse checks, that since the bombing has become the mandatory security procedures of every shopping centres, office buildings, and hotels in every major cities in Indonesia -- up to today with no end in sight! And nope, being the world's LARGEST Muslim country who never did do anything to Osama made zero difference.

Personally, I THANK GOD the US has the resources, the means, the will power, the guts, and the perseverence to pursue this animal!

One thing is clear - 100% clear and undisputable! There are diametrically opposed views on this subject and this thread will never change that or produce any concurrence of views.

Whether we are prone to believe on the one hand the US likes to pick up the sword or on the other that it was necessary and inevitable, the tenor and rhetoric here has slowly amped up to personal attacks.

This thread is pointless - leave it to CNN, Fox, and MSNBC bloggers. They live to yell at each other and call each other names.

This is a watch forum. At least we can put down the swords even if our governments are unable or unwilling.

I was speaking to the increasingly personal comments

....and just suggesting both sides might be better served just letting it go since everything that could be said has been said.

Just a suggestion seemingly falling in deaf ears.

Drtymrtini , I wasn't questioning whether this thread is against the rules, I was speaking to the increasingly personal comments and just suggesting both sides might be better served just letting it go since everything that could be said has been said. Just a suggestion seemingly falling in deaf ears.

A farmer had a dog. A salesman stopped by the farm and the dog just sat there howling. After talking a bit with the farmer, the salesmen felt compelled to ask, "why is that dog howling?" The farmer replied, "well see, he is sitting on a nail." The salesman scratched his jaw and asked, "why doesn't he just stand up?" Said the farmer, "He ain't done howling yet."

no hearts or minds are likely to be changed no matter how long this thread goes on..........

That is absolutely true D8 and there is absolutely nothing we can do about it because everyone is entitled to have his opinion, right for him, maybe wrong for others.

If I responded to this thread it's only because I find it inconceivable not to be grateful to the few that gave, and give, their lives for the freedom of the many. Freedom that many use to stub them in the back in return.

Hmmmm. I wonder if my JLC Navy Seal watch has gone up in value now?
