I'm looking at it right now (we can see the WTC from our office) and it looks like a second plane just hit the second tower (we just saw it happen). I can't confirm it but it's absolutely crazy...

This was no accident. No way.

All trading has been postponed 'indefinately' on Wall Street.

WooHoo!!!!!

First dramatarded comment?

my greatest fear is how our government is going to respond. more erosion of freedom in the name of security. mark my words.

a close friend offers the following piece of advice to unix geeks around the world on this tragic, tragic day: rm -rf /bin/laden. In other news, Capitalism Magazine's coverage is available here. My condolances go out to all who are affected by this vicious attack on all that is good and decent.

It's over for Osama.

DON'T DRINK TAP WATER. My mother who is CEO of a hospital in upstate new york just got a biological warfare warning from the CDC. She told me not to drink bottled water (personally I was heading for the vodka figuring the alcohol would kill any microbes). The radio just mentioned that biological warfare has been suspected although there is no evidence. The only disease they have specifically named is anthrax, but still, better be careful. - miss-lapin

miss-lapin: Please provide a trustworthy, verifiable citation. I'm sure you trust your mother, but I'd rather hear it from CNN.

One of my favorite dancers is an Israeli dude, Lavon Mizrahi. They actually made a documentary about him cheating on his wife with some old timey model, it’s really good. Look up The Lavon Affair next time you’re bored.

THERE AINT NO JET FUEL CANT MELT NO STEEL GIRDERS SHEEPLE! JET FUEL DOESNT EXIST ANYWAYS COS PLANES DONT EXIST AND AIRPORTS ARE JUST TRAIN STATIONS WHERE YOU CATCH A TRAIN THAT LOOKS LIKE A PLANE AND IT GOES UNDERGROUND BETWEEN CITIES.

THRY CANT FLY PLANES IN THE AIR BECAUSE OF THE DRAGONS. THE COMPANIES TELL US THE DRAGONS ARE PLANES BUT THEY ARE DRAGONS. THEY MAKE THE PLANES LOOK LIKE THE DRAGONS TO HIDE THE TRUTH FROM US. WAKE UP!

THE DRAGONS CONTROL THE SKIES BUT THE JEWS CONTROL THE MEDIA AND THEY BAN ANY MENTION OF THE DRAGONS OR COMLETELY LEGAL LINE DRAWINGS. THEY BAN US FROM NAMING JEWRY AND JEW RELATED INSTITUTIONS WHICH ARE ERODING OUF FREEDOMS. THD BANNING OF IMAGES AND TOTALLY LEGAL LINE DRAWINGS BY THE JEW MEDIA AND THE CONTROL OF THE SKIES BY THE DRAGONS.

BETWEEN THEM THE JEWS AND THE DRAGONS WILL ALWAYS SUPRESS OUR GOD-GIVEN RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH AND COMPLETELY LEGAL LINE DRAWINGS UNDER THE 1A.

I'm sure this isn't a popular point of view, but this might be a good time for each of us to look at the actions of the US and think about what might have elicited such hatred from someone else?

How can you be so mentally cucked to post something like this within hours of thousands of your countrymen getting killed in a terrorist attack? Yeah rightoids tend to be tards and conspiracy nuts, but the peacenik, self-loathing variant of leftoids are subhuman vermin.

When I saw it unfold on TV, I wondered about the decades of US intervention in the Middle East that may have culminated in this. Somehow, "cause-and-effect" reasoning is leftoid thinking.

Lol you think I don't know it was and still is a scam to make money through the MIC? Doesn't change the fact that getting in a gunfight and smoking people is the best adrenaline rush on Earth. There's nothing more exhilarating and satisfying than opening up a well planned ambush with a belt fed machine gun. Moids were meant to fight, and you're missing out if you never get to experience the rush of it. It's well worth the premature aging, joint damage, and TBI.

The US tho wasn't really intervening in the middle east much tho. Those 1000 IQ terrorists caused the US to care about the middle east 200% more than it ever did before.

Well, the 9/11 fueled paranoia made 2003 Iraq possible which led to the first full scale occupation of a country by American troops for a first time, that alone probably increased the amount the United States intervened.

Yes, but you're still ignoring US intervention in the ME throughout the 80s and 90s, and how that very much related to anti-American sentiments and extremism.

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

The only stuff that is or could count as intervention during that time that I can think of the Gulf War, the no fly zone and sanctions afterwards, Lebanon, friendly relations and some military aid to Israel, and the U.S. companies getting yeeted out of Iran and the embassy staff almost getting y’alled.

I mentioned elsewhere as well that Bin Laden was mad mostly at the United States for cucking him and his army from defeating Saddam in the Gulf War and because they were infidels that dared to step foot in the lands of Saudi Arabia

And yet France gets car of peaced plenty too despite last ME intervention from France being in 56. Russia aided the Arabs plenty against Israel, didn't prevent Arab jihadis from fighting in Chechnya.

The cause is the existence of non Islamic faiths. Read their fricking book you r-slurs.

This is something westcucks should understand, third worlders don't mind dying as much. Viets being coca colonized already should've made you realize this but w/e.

'Oh no they killed my parents with a bomb meant for generic dictator #23141 guess I have no other option but to become a fedayeen' is a thought process that has not happened, once. Never.

If there's thousands of men willing to blow themselves up for a cause, it's not a reactionary cause. That doesn't generate that much passion. Its revolutionary.

I'm not going to longpost about the Cold War, proxy conflicts, arms deals, counter-measures, and diplomatic aid in the ME during the 70s to 90s. To believe that US intervention during that period was insignificant and hardly related to 9/11 is mind-numbingly mistaken.

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

But the US interventions in the ME were much less significant before 9/11 than after. Also, please longpost because I generally don't think the US did much pre-9/11 but I could be wrong. We supported Israel (but Israel did the heavy lifting), we had marines in Lebanon(however the US was merely trying to hold Lebanon from falling apart and I don't think the Marines actually fought much), we supported Saddam against Iran(Bin-laden would like that probably as Iran is Shia), we supported the rebels against the Soviets( Bin Laden agreed with us there) , and we invaded Iraq after Saddam invaded Kuwait(I know this pissed Bin-laden off, however, his holy army plan was neurodivergent and the US had tons of support from other Arabs). Is there anything much I am missing?

US half-assed meddling is what caused it tbbqfh. Osama only thought it wouldn't end in his demise while jerking off to Tifa because he saw what a pathetic display the US had in response to him bombing the USS Cole and to Somalia. Shoulda MacArthured them both and it never would have happened

Well, I mean if you keep sticking your peepee into an anthill, and at some point it gets swarmed by ants and bitten, what exactly is the acceptable delay between screaming ruh roh frick the ants with my peepee even harder, and wondering if that's maybe not the correct approach at all?

The correct approach would have been to never meddle in the Middle East in the first place, but you're a b-word if your immediate reaction isn't to want blood to flow in vengeance. Return to monke and kill the enemies of your tribe, right or wrong.

Correct, this is WorldStarHipHop reasoning and we just saw the conclusion (hopefully) of a 20 year long epic failure caused by it. The first step to not being a nslur is to stop being proud of being a nslur, think on it son.

yanno, i'm gonna use this thread to tell my totally cool 9/11 story.

i was in gubment class and the teacher was a vietnam vet. another teacher came and banged on the door so he went out to talk to her. when he came back in it was like she kicked him in the nuts. then he turned the TV on and just fell to absolute pieces. then in the next class the teacher was all "science class is more important we aren't going to watch tv". then they let us all go home, so after spending the next hour smoking marijuana cigarettes i came home and played a japanese only import game online on my dreamcast for 8 straight hours.

god i was so fricking cool as a teen.
