» Brian Tubbs - Sad To Say

The way I see things, the World Trade Center had a symbolic value to those people who saw themselves as being victimized by the multinationals. They saw a connection between America's military/industrial complex and their troubles in their homelands. To them it was as though, if it were you, the communist empire had teamed up with some military force to over throw your world. So, they surely believed that they had more than enough cause to attack the WTC and the Pentagon.

We know from the writings and the recordings of the Islamic fundamentalists that there's much more to their motivations than opposition to multinational corporations. But even if that were all there was to it...

Do you believe it was a justifiable act on their part? I'm not asking you if THEY thought it was justifiable. It's obvious that they did - just as the assasins of JFK, MLK, and RFK thought what they did was justified. I'm asking YOU...

Was 9/11/01 justified?

The American people were put in a place where we had to either agree with them that they were being mistreated or in which we could retaliate against them. We were between a rock and a hard place. Naturally we had to retaliate--we had no choice at that level.

Retaliate AND take steps to protect ourselves from future attacks.

I don't know about Timothy McVeigh. I guess he acted from his understanding of truth in a terrible way. We have to be careful of the choices we make as the wrong one can take us down a long dark alley that ends with tragic consequences.

Wow....you're pretty tolerant of Mr. McVeigh, even though hundreds of people (including innocent children) died as a result of what he did. And yet you want to "skin alive" those responsible for killing THREE men.

Let me get this straight...we need to understand McVeigh (who killed hundreds, including CHILDREN!) but we need to torture those who murdered THREE men. Am I getting this right?

Life is far too complex for you and me to make choices based on the knowledge we are allowed to inspect at our levels.

Are you willing to grant this benefit of the doubt - this tolerant gesture toward those in the 'dark' - when it comes to the murderers of RFK, JFK, and MLK?

We are just plain stupid if we don't know that things are going on back stage. I'm not privy to that and neither are you.

Of course, things are going on back stage - as they have always have been. No individual has EVER been privy to EVERYTHING going on.

But, I can tell you that there is more than a slight smell coming through the curtains to let us know that there is something very rotten going on back there. And, I absolutely do not believe our leadership. I think they think we are expendable as pawns in their game to rule the world. The best way to describe them is with all the worst four letter words you can think of.

Did it ever occur to you that the murderers of MLK, JFK, and RFK felt the way toward THEM that you do toward our "current leadership"? Now, I know you're not contemplating assassination, but you HAVE - in other posts - warned of riots in the streets, revolution, a "day of reckoning," etc., etc., etc. So, you're operating on the same feelings - just from a different vantage point.

Sad to say.
