"what if" history, altho fun has little point, IMO, events are influenced by such a huge range of factors that changing one doesnt not necessarily cause the oposite event to occur. -

when I say what if, i mean wondering what would of happened in history if a certain had or hadnt occured. The effects of such are to me incomprehenable and so all discussions are pointless. -

For example: What if Hitler had died of something when only a young boy...?
What If history is silly, it's far too conjectural -

I have to agree. If the Americans had left well enough alone, the 9/11 attack wouldn't have happened.
But I suppose maybe if they hadn't let in fundamentalist muslims to settle there and reap all the benefits of the country, these muslims wouldn't want to destroy the things they hate so much about the country (liberty, wealth, power, etc).
It says in the Qur'an that an infidel is your enemy. Make of that what you will. -

Kill people in the name of God? I ask that, everyone asks that. What's it got to do with being American anyway....
And since when is a global good deed done without resistance anyway? -

Why Does G.W.Bush kill ppl in the name of Freedom and "Good Life", All over the world?
I don't think people understand what a noble cause this is. Do you think Saddam was an angel? I think it is a good thing to kill a few to save hundreds of thousands from being tortured to death. Do you know what this man did? Here are some of his his methods of torture seen on video tapes:
Committing rape while the victim's spouse is forced to watch
torture including electric shocks to a male's genitals
pulling out fingernails
suspending individuals from rotating ceiling fans
Pouring boiling water into the victim's rectum
Nailing the tongue to a wooden board
Extracting teeth with pliers
Using bees and scorpions to sting naked children in front of their parents
dumping severed heads at families' doorsteps
prisoners getting fed – alive – to Doberman pinschers
breaking of limbs
amputation
dripping acid on a victim's skin
gouging out eyes
Crucifixion
Spraying insecticides into a victim's eyes
burning victims with a hot iron or blowtorch
amputating the tongues of citizens who criticize him or his government
This is not some big secret. Do a google search and you can even see footage of this sort of thing happening.
Bush is justified in seeing to it that the people responsible for these atrocities are killed. It's for the benefit of the vast majority of the population. -

These people are bent on destroying western civilization. What we do or don't do isn't going to have much of an impact. I just hope Europe doesn't have to get attacked for you all to realize it. -

Freedom is a wonderful alternative to what the Iraqi citizens experienced under Saddam. Bush made the decision to go to war to help people that were oppressed.

No one is debating the fact that Sadman was a cruel and unjust despot, howver this alone is not a reason to go to war, the US is not the Police man of the world and as such has no jursdiction to go to war over someone elses crimes in their country. -

Yes, but the attack on September 11th was the largest terrorist attack in world history. I know about Spain, and I don't want to downplay it, but I think it is going to take an attack on the same severity as ours, in Europe, before you all recognize the threat that the middle east poses to western civilization. It may never happen, but I fear it will -

Largest Terrosrist attack in history ha?
Ok, let me ask you smthn: How do scale a terror act such as that?
By The Number a deaths/amount of damage? Then, hasnt there been attacks and wars the US has led and killed far more than that.
Another point i want to understand, is that i persoanlly dont hate Americans, I am 3\4 American, But i hate the Americna Goverment, and IF i do hate americans for anything, its thier ignorance! -
