European cultural pioneers came up with ideas like "All cultures are created equal," while ignoring that the rate of mortality in Iraq during war is lower than it was under Saddam Hussein.

While I disagree with the sentiment of your post (and I'm not European by a few centuries), I don't really want to debate pointlessly with my opinions and how they differ from your stated opinions when its likely neither will get very far. I was intrigued by this statistic, however, and I find it hard to believe this is true.

From a United Nations report dated 1st of September,
QUOTE

Despite the significant achievements in the political transition process,
meeting the benchmarks endorsed by the Security Council in resolution 1546 (2004)
has not translated into an improved security and human rights situation. This
remains a major challenge. Insurgent, militia and terrorist attacks, as well as gross
violations of human rights, including killings, kidnappings and torture, continued
unabated in many parts of the country. Many of the victims are women, children and
minorities. Iraq today has become one of the most violent conflict areas in the
world. According to the latest Government figures, the number of civilians killed
has increased considerably and stands at an average of 100 people per day, while
more than 14,000 were reportedly wounded per month. Since the Samarra attack on
22 February 2006, approximately 200,000 individuals have been displaced. These
are worrisome trends, and if they continue, the social and political fabric of the
country could be endangered.

(Report by the Secretary-General) (News story)


100 civilians killed per day, with 14,000 wounded per month... was it honestly like that under Saddam? I don't dispute for a minute he was a cruel, corrupt dictator, but I wasn't sure he was that reckless.

I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm asking for more information, since I couldn't find a report that spoke about it.

Edit: Oh, and I know talking about the war in Iraq is completely off-topic when we were supposed to be talking about terrorism, but Xavius brought it up!
Daganev2006-09-12 16:27:42
So yeah...

69% of philipinos do not believe 9/11 was done by Arabs
65% of Egyptians do not believe 9/11 was done by Arabs
50% of Nigerians do not believe 9/11 was done by Arabs

By that standard... Only 30% of americans think 9/11 was a government plot.

Not doing too bad!

How pathetic that an actual event that happened less than 5 years ago, is now a theological debate. You either believe or you don't.

Also, I can not believe that anyone who has read the commission report still believes that seperating Al Qaeda, from Hamas, from Hezbulah, from Chenya rebels, from any other terrorist group really accomplishes anything.

Someone who worked for the PLO in 93 got promoted to work for Al Qaeda in 2000.

And FYI... Saddam husein did support terrorism. Just not Al Qaeda.

The government can't even get the lights on in Iraq.. yet you think they're capable of planning the 9/11 attacks without it being discovered? And don't say "Clearly it IS discovered if I know about it!"

I hate the people who are like "Steel doesn't melt at that low of a temperature!" Well, newsflash, steel doesn't have to melt to become weak. There are no pieces that fit together to reveal 9/11 as a scam. None. You know why the owner probably had terrorist insurance? Because the buildings had been subject to terrorist attacks PREVIOUSLY. I know if I my house had been flooded, I'd be sure to get ahold of flood insurance even if I lived in a frack'n desert.

I hate George W. Bush with a passion, and even I don't think he would stoop to something like planning 9/11 for his own gain. Was he willing to take advantage of it? Yes. But he definitely didn't cause it.

So, delete the conspiracy websites from your bookmarks, because, I hate to tell you this... but people in general are idiots. They have the need to go "Ah-ha! I get it!" But really, they don't.

Seriously.. just.. gah.

EDIT: Watch the personal attacks.
Edit: I'll watch the personal attacks when he stops insulting thousands of people who died by claiming it was all part of a scam. Its stupid, and shows a complete lack of intelligence.
First of all. No, no, no. I'm not insulting thousands of people. I feel really bad for anyone that die in ways that they shouldn't. Either my dog getting ran over by some idiot in a f'ing truck or my grandmother that tripped, fell, had a concusion on her head and died hours after when someone could've been there if I wasn't with my girlfriend. I feel sorry for all that people because I also know what's like to lose a loved one by the hands of a criminal.

I belive that many things could've happened because I know what the extension of USA's knowledge, power and control over several things. Hell, I know the extension of Mexico's power and I tell you, it's really big what Mexico can do, and really scarry, I try to think what can the USA can do, when they have more money, more technology and more means to achive whatever.

How can I believe those theories? 4 years and 10 months ago I couldn't believe that the War on Terror was something that the goverment would use to attack their personal enemies. A guy was claiming that the goverment will probably use the oportunity to strike on Iraq or Cuba. I passed it out as bull.

Now, I belive that the goverment can and probably will kill some people of their own in order to achieve things they want to. And it's not only me.. it's actually less than a half of the people around the world outside of the USA. And I'm actually having trouble finding mexicans that still believe that the US didn't know about the attacks or that they didn't use the attacks for their own means. And no, I don't hang around with people who read conspirasies.

For every event in the course of history you have "conspirecy theories" be it area 51, landing of aliens, the arrivel to the moon or that we, the jews, "staged" the holocaust in order to get a favourable world-support.

I suggest you take the time to think long and hard in regards to the implications of the things you say.

God be with the fallen, may their families be able to move on.

I say that there are aliens because I've been in places where people see UFOs on a constant basis. I've seen my share of UFOs. If know a place with some volcanic activity, you can see it too.

As for the holocaust, that's just wrong. The holocaust was an event where a lot of people died to the Nazis.

Area 51 is a strange posibility, along with the landing of the moon.

As for the implications, I've seen them. I've thought a lot about them and I have my own theories, but it would sound too much as 1984
Unknown2006-09-12 16:53:38
Here's what you should do.. take all your theories.. and throw them out. There, problem solved.

And if you think there's even a small chance that the moon landing was faked.. you especially need help.

what would that solve? it would solve nothing. Besides, like I said, there are a lot of people who believe this too and they don't need conspiracy sites. Some people question the "official" story because some things don't seem so plausible.

And there are pictures I've seen. I believe the humans had landed in the moon, just find it strange that only the US did it.

Like what? What isn't plausible about the scenario of a terrorist group highjacking planes and crashing them into the Twin Towers of their own volition, and the destruction that ensued? Please enlighten me.

I don't find possible that 1, no one in the air knew what was happening. What about the airports in NY. Didn't they see on their blinky screens that Two flights were not only not responding, but flying too low and out of their routes? 2, after it was thought to be an accident(the first impact), didn't they just kept watching everyone in NY airspace and reporting it? 3, The US knows when something happens. They know how many guns go out, ho much drugs go in. They don't know how many people are trying to attack them?

Mexicans are able to do "scary" things.. but Arabs, who we have to thank for quite a bit of advanced mathematics and engineering, aren't intelligent enough to figure out how to steal planes and drive them into buildings. Hell, as a kid I was smart enough to know if you took one lego creation and crashed it into another, that they'd both break.

The second link I posted covers your little 'suspicion' on page 2 or 3.
Daganev2006-09-12 17:38:56
You know your first link is a bad argument.

the theory is always that the governement doesn't kill the people exposing the theory so that it looks like its too laughable to believe.

The second half of the first link is nice though.... except that he doesn't actually have any seceret message in the dollar, just a silly marker thingy...

Erm, that's the point. It really did happen, but there are idiots out there who honestly deny it. It's pathetic, and ridiculous, and it only happens because there are people out there who can't cope with the fact that something was just caused by a stupid accident or some miguided, prejudiced people who seek only to maim, murder and scare to try make people see things their way. They need some kind of person to blame it on, rather than just admitting that a bad buy did a bad thing, they feel a need to say Z0O0MG THE G0VRNM3NT IS PL0ttING!!!111ELEVEN!! and can't just accept the reality.

Ethen, I am sorry for your uncle's death, as I am to all who lost loved ones in the World Trade Center.

So take the situation where they noticed it? What are they going to do about it? There's no way to contact the planes if they won't responds. I know, let's scramble the fighter jets and shoot down any plane that stops responding. rolleyes.gif

EDIT: Yes, I'm aware that they will scramble jets to ty and deal with things, but even then, they aren't likely going to be able to find out any more information than they already know. It's quite easy to be in a situation where it's extremely difficult if not impossible to know what's going on, never mind being able to do anything about it.
Unknown2006-09-12 20:36:03
While I feel sympathy for those who lost loved ones due to the event, I hate that Muslims were persecuted so harshly after it. Although nothing happened to me personally, I have several friends who had their property severly damaged (among other things).

I didn't say that they couldn't do it. They can, what I don't understand is how they let them do it, and I'm not talking about actions to stop the planes mid-air, but prior days to that. And if you think about it, the goverment has done some terrible things. Just to begin with, Cars and gasoline and cheaper technologies. That's just screwed up right there. And it's not the first time. Remember the railroads? Tamony hall? All of the corruption? It's just the same thing. I believe it could happen and I'm 60% sure that they either let the whole thing happened or just saw it as an oportunity to do things they have wanted to do. The same with Iraq. The goverment took the chance to eliminate someone they didn't like for economical reasons and labeled as part of the war on terror. Mark my words, if this is going to be ignored and pardoned, it shouldn't take long to get Venezuelan president Chavez out of power a la Salvador Allende. Every goverment in the world is able to do scary things.

And even if it was a surprise attack, and nothing could've been done to prevent it, it was really damned convinient that it did happened. Not only it saved Bush's presidency but also took the eyes away from economy. That right there, you cannot pass as a conspiracy theory. That did happened. The goverment used the terrorists attacks as a strategy to give the current management more time on the chair. And it worked fascinatingly good.

Regardless of the pointless controversy, you should really either read the 9/11 commision report, or watch The Path to 9/11 if you want to understand how the goverment totally fouled up.
