As a side, do you think the Libyan government was sad that the WTC happened?

How about the syrian govt? The saudi?, the palestinians? the Yemani? Iran?

I dare say , there are a great many people in this world that rejoiced and danced in the street at the site of burning americans falling 100 stories to their deaths.

I will not hug them as my brother, and will forever watch them, and be very aware of their presence, their intent, and their (gasp) past actions against my county, and my fellow citizen.

"I dare say , there are a great many people in this world that rejoiced and danced in the street at the site of burning americans falling 100 stories to their deaths."

Heck, they were doing that in Tampa, at the USF Student Union building. They were about to get their a**es pounded into the dirt by a bunch of locals, too, until the campus police showed up and broke up the little Pali/Muslim "We Hate The Great White Satan" fest.

I'm neither Armenian nor Greek, and don't profess to know much about the subject. But going hot is right...we, as human beings, have to remember these atrocities if we're to stop them from happeneing again. Even in American history, we have plenty enough atrocities to remember, from slavery to the massacres of the Sioux and Cheyenne, the Trail of Tears to My Lai. We, as Americans, haven't always been right, but we have had the moral strength to admit when we're wrong, and to take steps to make sure we don't do whatever it was again. This is one of the many things that have made us the greatest nation in the history of the world. But we do this only because we remember the past. Just because something happened 81 years ago doesn't mean it can't happen again. People will always find ways of doing horrible things to other people unless they remember what's happened before them, and make the decision not to let it happen again.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
