The terrorists that pulled this off are clearly dead, along with the innocent
passengers aboard the hijacked airplanes. It's of no benefit to them at all.
The political forces behind them, however, are going to benefit. As with all
politics, it's entirely corrupt.
That Saudi millionaire, bin Laudin, or whatever his name is, claimed something
BIG was coming, but I'd more easily believe a bunch of the McVeigh-style
rednecks would do this sort of thing.
Of course, the WTC has been the target of middle-eastern terrorism before ...
I think it would be pretty difficult for a middle eastern organization to find
personnel to pull off four concurrent hijackings in the U.S. as easily as the
local rednecks could do it. What's more, the middle-eastern terrorists don't
normally do things on this scale, those embassy bombings being an exception
rather than the rule. This invites a level of retaliation that they (the
middle-eastern groups) are unwilling to tolerate. Those redneck groups don't
care if they kill a billion people.
The suicidal nature of this combination of acts points to the middle-easterners,
yet the pointless nature points at the rednecks. Who knows?

ABC is aying that the State dept car bomb is false.
It just emphasises the level of chaos, doesn't it?

Lots of people usually claim that they did , the most recent terroist
act. Thats nothing new.

Of course there will have to be some sort of token retribution, but against
whom?
Just sit tight Dick, they'll figure it out.
If it's against the Islamic community
throughout the world, it will
benefit the Israelis.
Wow, just watching a streat level reply of the towers collapsing.
People running, lots of thick dust.
Anyway, what do the Israelis have to do with it? I don't think anybody
is looking at gaining something from this, besides the terroists.
As I said before, there's reason to doubt the middle-easterners are behind
this.
It's a real reckless act like the Oklahoma City bombing, and it's targeted at
"the system" rather than "the government." That just adds to the
confusion.
What's sad is that the government will have to take retribution on someone, even
if it's the wrong someone, and most folks won't even care that it's the wrong
someone.
