For the WTC Jumpers

"WHEN THE DEVIL HAD FINISHED ALL THE TEMPTING HE LEFT HIM, TO AWAIT ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY"
-Luke 5:13

He came back,
This time for me.
On the 110th floor I was so close to God
I could almost grab his beard.
Never before has heaven been this close to hell.
I can feel its fire on the floors below
Raising ash and paper and smoke
Thick as Satan¡¯s laughter.
At the window, shattered,
I look for salvation and he tempts me,
Dares me to jump,
Whispering a psalm in my ear
He spits as he speaks:
¡°He will bid his angels watch over you.
With their hands they will support you.¡±
I mumble ¡°Amen,¡±
Close my eyes and sense the rush of air.
I cannot breathe until I finally feel
Those hands of angels
Hard as cement against my face.

its really amazing how an event such as 9/11. can change the world forever. not only in the hearts of ones who have lost but even me, not knowing anyone who parished. i still feel so much hurt and sorrow for those that lost their lives, for what?, nothing....

I dunno how that's really bad taste. I mean we see ppl getting killed all the time in the middle east in wars, that's OK. Something happens on our/US soil, it's bad taste. Talk about hipocracy.

BTW - these images were broadcast live on BBC on Sept. 11th, as well as all other non US news channels. CNN didn't show anything other than the burning buildings and the collapsing buildings, yet they show really graphic stuff from the middle east.

It's an incredible hypocracy. People in the middle east have been subjected to U.S. sponsored wars since 1948, and still die today because of that brutal country's foreign policies. Images of U.S. POWs were broadcast by Al Jazeera and condemned for being against the Geneva Convention, and yet CNN was never condemned for showing the gruesome pictures of Saddam or his two sons, who were both considered to be POWs

I agree with Weapon and Rage, what we see on our CNN's, and any other american news is all filtered to give us a bias choice on what we should think.

Just look at that post with the chopper pilots shooting soldiers with a 20mm cannon. That was just sick, If that ever happened to an american soldier it would be front page and Bush would start a new campaign to "Send a message"

CNN and alike over sensationalize it and show some rediculus stuff thats in terrible taste. I was merely commenting on this perticular peice of media. I think its terrible taste.

Mind you we are talking roughtly 70% of Americal population that supporded the War in Iraq. More than 50% voted for J.W. Bush. So when you talk about American government with it's policies you talk about 70 % of Americans supporting it. Do your math about how many people supported their country's policies ?

yes...the public supports the foriegn policies because of the media....they can make the public support whatever they want....they've gotten so good at it now they don't even have to provide a reason, they just have to convince the public that they're in greater danger if they don't support it....works like a charm.

How long has the U.S.A been around?

When did they adopt their current foreign relations policy?

For how long has their been war in the middleast?

Is wars over religon a new thing?

Is it the US's fault theres fighting in the middleeast?

Would said fighting stop if the US government stopped getting involved in other countries affairs?

And If russia invaded canada, but said 'we are only takeing over canada we wont be attacking the US.' you'd be a proponent of the US not getting involved right? I mean think about it, its not any of the U.S's buisness right. The US should mind their own buisness correct?

I dont know what the best stance to take in foreign affairs, and Im not saying the US handles every situation properly. Because obviously thats not the case, theres plenty of situations we should have gotten involved. And theres plenty of situations where they should have minded our own buisness.

First of all thats :bullshit:

Second of all I didn't expect an intelligent conversation from you.

Thirdly, you always make this comment "They deserved it." and then when everyone asks why? you, come up with new bullshit. In the last thread you said it was because they voted for Bush... LOL good argument Now the country deserves it? You support the USA everyday of your life.. do you deserve it? Point is when theres a thread specifically about these innocent poeple dying you are a moron to post that comment once. And you just show how ignorant you are when you go and post the exact same thing again.

that guy is obviously bullshitting if anyone that had a relative die in those attacks they would most certainly not call that a justified attack or they have mental problems. No attack is justified. War in Iraq NOT justified (imo good to get rid or Saddam) sept 11 NOT justified, attacking Kuwait NOT justified, and the list goes on. and the americans changed their foriegn policy i believe after WW2 (they didnt want to get involved and because they sat it out it escalated and the cost was much greater than if they jumped in and nipped it in the bud) which is what they are trying to do in most of these situations i should think. Either way (rice eater) NOBODY deserves a violent death like these and i know you were comparing but in death there is NO comparisons it is just sad and a waste of gods intentions.

What the hell is wrong with you.

I never said that i wasnt angry she died by any strech of teh imagination, in the grand scheme of things i do not hold osama bin laden responsible, nor to an extent G. W. B all i am saying is that there are a ton of trjegdies way bigger teh 9/11 but tehy go unsaid becasue it doesnt touch "our" world.

But it is important to look at the events leading up to the attack that showed why those thousands had died.

My aunt was and always will be one of the most important people in my life.

well when i think of the past 100 years not too many times come to mind that were "way bigger" than 9/11.. true there are some but at that time in life i thnk they were heard and seen around the world...

if you fuck with people's countries and lives, don't you expect that eventually someone wont take it anymore and will stand up for what they believe?You would do the same if the tables were turned. That was 9/11... if 3000 people is so tragic, what does that make the hundreds of thousands of people that died in other places in the word? I'll refrase for you...the act isn't what they deserved, it was the wake up call that came with it that the US needed. But what did they do instead? Go fuck up more countries :dunno:

By your logic you are justifying the US government hitting back. "The people who brought the attacks on 9/11 fucked with the US (A COUNTRY), and lives (THE 3000 PEOPLE, who died) so now they are hitting back". HMMM so I guess all these people that are dying now because of the repercussions of this act also deserve it?


Come on thats bullshit you can try and justify innocent poeple dying to teach the USA a lesson, but noone deserves that. You are no better then the 9/11 attackers or the US government with that attitude.

I would still love to hear an answer to a question I asked you in another thread, when you justified people dying because they supported bush, what do YOU do NOT to support the US?, because from what I have seen in your other posts, you seem to love American cars, music, movies, all of which fund this evil empire who deserves death.

Theres plenty of people around the world that are thankful for the United States getting involved in situations. Theres always 2 sides too every story remember.

And you need look no further then 60 years ago to figure out how the US was going to react to getting attacked. The day 9/11 happened I remember thinking 'ohh no, someone is gunna pay for this'. I just hoped they went after the right people.

Now you can argue the role of NATO over the years, and say they shouldnt get involved in peacekeeping and crisis management in countries outside of the organization. But with the amount of aid the US and other countries in NATO pay out, you know they are gunna get involved if something happens. Not saying its right or wrong. I dont claim too know what the best way to handle foreign relations is. But I know, never getting involved in other countries affairs would be bad news. Even though I'd pay alot less in taxes.

Dude thats BS... 2 things...
These people only appreciate US intervention for a short time, not to mention they would be thankful for anybody to step in... NOT just the US. For every man woman or child that would support this kind of intervention there is a whole Village that opposes. Just look at the Backlash the US is already suffering from the Islamic countries.

Second of all, who is to say that the US is the country to make these interventions... this is the job of the international communities... the UN for example.

I am not Anti-USA though... from a purely American point of view... all they are doing is forwarding their own intrest and protecting the "American" way of life

If you read on in my post, I said pretty much the same thing you did. I dont know what the best stance to take in foreign policy is. I dont know if theres a posistion to take to stop the fighting in the Middle East. They have been fighting for many years.

You get involved in yugoslavia and shouldnt have, you dont get involved in somalia and you should have. Theres many examples I can name of lose/lose situations. Like I said its ok by me for the US to sit back and take a role of inaction in the world, I hate haveing to see my friends leave for deployment to all areas of the world.
