Old footage or not, I read through some of the posts and comments on that link. The Associated Press had their own cameramen threatened and were told that if the footage is released, the lives of said cameramen would be in danger.

With a threat like that, it makes you think "what are they hiding?" "what dont they want us to see?"

Define 'confirmed' Azizza... confirmed from who? The same people who are showing us the alledged file footage?

If it is the same sources, and the alligations are true that it is file footage... then your reaction is exactly the one they are hoping to produce.

Well, Yasser Arafat DID apologize for his countrymen cheering the attacks on and said they were a small minority of his people...

Leaders of countries don't apologize for things based on what is shown on CNN.

well, i can tell you one thing is true, the cheering in america wasn't.

One of my friend's co-workers was isntalling cable in a house as it happened. The entire family was cheering in glee "They have payed, they have payed!" The man requested to leave the house, becuase he couldn't take working there.

Of course, getting much lest media attention was the rather large turnout of Palestines who were placing flowers at the gates of the American embassy in Jerusalem.

m0g = nicolas...? anyway.

Too many people are generalizing and pointing fingers here.

Some nations force feed their children that the U.S. is evil. Apparently many people act as if their news source isn't controlled by the government, and *Obviously* everybody else's is.

American media is at the very least the LEAST government manipulated media system.

Ted Turner controls CNN, not Dubya.

Azizza.. please shut up now. Have you EVER met a Palestinian?

I have. I have been to Israel. I have been to a Palestinian refugee camp. I have talked with Palestinian religious ministers (Christian, Muslim.) and continue to receive e-mails from one in particular.

Go ahead, say "shoot the SOBs".. I'll say FUCK YOU. You do NOT judge an entire people by what few did.. by what you see on television.. by what you 'hear' from 'good friends.'
So Fuck you, Az. Yer extremist bullshit has succeeded in pissing me off.

"They" do not want a war. Many want to be liberated from closed in living conditions that truly suck and wreak of oppression. You go there.. you take a look.

Azizza, I'll say it once.

Head, Ass, Remove.

They dance in opinion. Want someone to shoot you for liking candy?

And don't childishly retort with "Well, thats different." or along the lines. They don't like us because we got in the middle of their squabbles. They have a right to dislike us, they have a right to their opinion of what happenes here, dispite how vile it is.

*sigh* sorry but I agree with Az on this opinion so condemn me as well. Az never said he was gonna do it nor did he say he was condemn the people as a whole.. he said those who were dancing in the street.. celebrating. Yes its their opinion.. its not the opinion of the entire people.. but its the opinion of those sick individuals who are dancing at the death of 10,000 people who most probably had little to nothing to do with the decisions made by the US government on foreign affairs between ourselves and the middle eastern countries in the past. *shrug* *walks away..*

He mentioned war. That's enough to set me off. Kill people dancing in the streets? Sure.. why not... the children that dance too? Do they know why they're even dancing? Fine.. shoot them.. if not, shoot their parents.. let them get vengeful.. let them have reason to hate us.

Exterminate those responsible.. not those who can create more potential threat.

And War involves innocent people. It will always involve innocent people who are forced into something they may not want to be a part of.

I could make this hit home for some of you.

How about this.. all those who feel we are in the wrong.. go over there.. undo what has been bred into them.. the hate.. the way the children have been raised.. WE are the target.. regardless.. its always gonna be someone to take up the place of someone else.. Hit close to home.. it has for alot of us.. We are mad.. we are angry.. it will calm itself down.. it HAS calmed itself down.. But I am still verily disgusted by both sides of the coin.. no I dont believe in beating up random people just because they belong to an ethnic group or the color of their skin. But it is just plain sick to revel in the destruction of 10,000+ people.. at the same time.. that is what brings me to a rage. Will I do it? no.. will my voice be heard? probably not.. but its my opinion.. I am seething..

When you state, "Let's give 'em a war".. a war affects all people.. every person.. each and every person in that area.. did all Palestinians dance and shout in glee at the mention of the attack? No. We saw a number of Palestinians do so. We don't know what percentage. It could have been a rather small amount..
There are some people in the U.S. that do believe this is a good thing.. and I'm willing to bet that the amount of people in the U.S., who are citizens, that felt this way, match the percentage of Palestinians who reacted this way.

Bust a cap in Jerry Falwell's ass... he's more disturbing.
Would you rather be upset with harmless dancing, revelling in what they believe to be "American Satans," or a person who claims it's God's wrath due to Homosexuals, Feminists and the like.. This said by a guy on yer home front.

Would you possibly call some of the pieces of the American Revolution acts of terrorism against the British?

Let those who want to dance, dance.. they'll get theirs. Let them be sorted out when the time comes.. when those who believe in their cause want to stand up and fight for it, and die for it. Don't pin it on a race. Pin it on those who will actively fight for their belief.. and kill them on fair (kinda) grounds.

So you think I'm pinning it on a race? Just curious.. Im not trying to start something..

As I said.. many people are furious. There are many mixed emotions going around and the bad apples are coming out of the woodwork. I know that jerk of a fake minister is just as bad if not worse.. believe me. I had this discussion with my mom earlier.. I sent her the article for fear that she might be for some oddball reason.. listening to him now and again.. *hopes not* As I said.. I harbor ill will towards these people.. but have I picked up a gun and/or beaten them into a pulp? No.. will I likely do so? No. I am just angry beyond words. Lem.. if you feel I harbor ill will towards the muslims in general.. please PM me here or on IRC.

LeMiere get back to reality. I don't care if it is a child. If he is screaming "Death to america and firing an ak-47 into the air then yes he is a target. I never said anything aobut innocent civilians. I made reference to a distinct group. I never said the whole people. I said pathetic excuse for humans that were out there celebrating the death of 10,000 other humans.

And get this. WAR is reality. It is already here. I am willing to guess that this whole thing means no more to you than some interupted TV and slightly raised gas prices. Well to me it means the loss of 6 friends and possibly more to come when we do go to war.

Make it hit home you say? This has hit home already. In more ways than you could ever understand. How about I give you Carla's phone number so you can call her say "fuck you" to her for feeling the same way. After she breaks half the bones in your body she will tell you about her husband who is now dead because of these people you seem to love so much.

I honestly don't know how many of these people were dancing in the street LeMiere but the fact that they were in the street is proof enough. I mean they were in the street with guns, i don't think the government wanted them there and these guys were obviously violating laws. If thats the case then the Palastine government can't control these guys in their on country if so what makes u think Palistine could do anything to stop them from attacking US again. This makes many of these dancers dangerous, and as for what you say about war. True most don't want a war but they don't have much choice that place is in heated combat now. I think the fact that a private citizen had an AK to shoot in the air is proof of that. These innocents are caught up in a war that gets them killed EVERY day for a cause they don't believe in. Now they left flowers at our embassy and this makes me think they dislike these radical groups (cause they get them killed) so i think that if the US took action against radicals then sure a few innocents may die, but at least they'll die ridding hte country of the ones that were getting them killed in the first place. So these innocents that die would at lesast be the last as opposed to the next few in a long chain. As for the kids if they lived with parents that dance in the street about dead Americans then the kid would probably grow up to be a suicide bomber anyway. I know thats sad but it's the truth those kids are impressionable and many are beyond anyones ablility to avert them from killing us. Basiclly if anyone takes to the streets in a way that the government is afraid to arrest them for breaking laws are not the type of people you want hating you. Now should we just run in and boom, no. We should get the palistine government to ask first or at least agree to it. Chances are they would not hesitate a bit to accept our offer (if the government considered the dancers dangerous.) The only reason i could see the government refusing our offer is if they don't regard the celebraters as threats and they're in a better position than any of us to determine that. So to sum up there are two possiblilities A. they are a threat to us and the palistine government, and should be eliminated and we get permision to help. B. They are not a threat and we should leave them alone. Either way it's up to the palistines

Get off it, Az. You're NOT a wise, experienced man, who understands everything.

However much you'd like to think you "know" how the "real world" is, you know bullshit. Until you've been to the Middle East, through Afghanistan, Hungary, Israel, Egypt, Iran or until you've recieved a major in Muslim studies, I suggest you go back to opinions and stop claiming facts.

Yeah, you could have ten years on me, you could have thirtyfive, but I've studied the region and I've been there. I also know how to look at it from a more unbiased (though not completely) view, as opposed to the Pissed-off-American-with-a-shotgun view.


You don't know anything about LeMiere, his family, or how this has effected him.

I lost a cousin and an uncle. My best friend lost her sister (who was also a friend of mine, just not as close). Yes, it's effected me, my parents' godchild has burns and lacerations all across her body (she was on the sidewalk as the plane hit).
Don't trivialize other people's experiences or victimize yourself.

Dad's going to kill you. Really. He is.
