Why only remember the 9/11 victims?

[QUOTE="mems_1224"][QUOTE="mingmao3046"] not my fault gamespot still uses this POS forum host...i click "quick quote", type my comment and it screws it up. how is that my fault? way to avoid the topic at handmingmao3046

[QUOTE="mingmao3046"]

[QUOTE="mems_1224"] i didn't avoid anything. i was pointing out that you dont know how the internet works.mems_1224

[QUOTE="mems_1224"][QUOTE="mingmao3046"] again, it is not my fault that this reply malfunctions. care to address the topic? you apparently think just because we have a bigger military we can do whatever we want

[QUOTE="mingmao3046"][QUOTE="mems_1224"] address what topic? i already said that we have the bigger guns so we can do what we want. whether or not i agree with it is irrelevant. im not in charge mems_1224

I really dont like the special pleading that the 9/11 victims get as if being a US citizen somehow makes it sadder to have died in a terrorist attack. This day should be remembered as a day which triggered events which would eventually result in the deaths of thousands of innocent people in US, afghan, pakistan and all around the world.Gambler_3

[QUOTE="mingmao3046"] just because we have bigger guns doesnt mean we can go invade whatever country we want...mingmao3046

And that would have been the fault of the Pakistan government since they could have turned him over.;)

This isn't a perfect world buddy take a step out of your bubble and look at reality for a little bit. Your never going to understand unless you put on the uniform and go to war. Not to mention a lot of troops have died due to suicide bombers disguising themselves as civilians. I personally know a lot of guys that did a tour in Afghanistan and now suffer from some major trust issues with anyone not in a uniform including little kids.atony12

YOU get out of YOUR bubble. America isn't the center of the universe. Your freedoms and liberties arenb't under attack. They are intangible. A bunch of morons crashed planes into buildings and killed 2000 people. The government retaliates by invading 2 countries and 100 thoundsand people end up dead because of it. And you wonder why people hate the US? I don't care if your buddies don't trust children, you seriously wonder why the rest of the world has issues with America?

Drop bombs on schools and attack civilians? Please post some links proving that this is America's war policy in the middle east. The US does what it can to avoid civilian causalities. You're simply not being honest in and attempt to prove a point. Just because the US remembers the anniversary of the largest terrorist attack in it's history does not mean that civilian deaths in other countries are irrelevant. I am not even sure what your point is.

Foreign opinion should not drive US foreign policy. A BBC world service poll done this year showed 31% of those polled around the world had a negative view of America, a number which has been on the decline for the past couple of years. Your statement of "the rest of the world has issues with America" is simply hyperbolic fluff. O, and 2,996 people died from 9/11, not 2,000.

Didn't they tell you? America are the goodies!! Everyone else baddies!! The world stops for America! biggest_loser

Its funny because that is basically what they teach you in America, because you know, America is the only free country in the world

I am sure that most people don't even know that, and I am sure if people watch Fox news than they DEFINITELY wont know it, but I watched alot of it, and they way the news talks about it, its hard to feel like people from other countries where lost, because no one really did mention that, probably more than once...but I was watching CNN, so thats probably why

Because they deserve it, and it´s not like you´re losing anything.
