But he created terror in your minds, didn't he? As always, the term "terrorist" is nothing absolute. But posting leathal content in envelops and send them to persons with intentions to hurt or even kill, is what I would call terrorism.

I must also note that had Clinton actually gone after the perpetrators of the '94 WTC bombing the second attack in '01 might not have occurred.

Maybe we now see an American version of the show produced for TV?

All you guys are able to come up with are pin*****s. Not even close to the scale of 9-11. I wonder how President Obama will do if he wins...

Bash that.
October 17 2008 Dalton, Georgia Attempted suicide bombing 1 killed, one badly injured.
August 30 2005 San Francisco religiously/politically motivated Afghan runs over 19 pedestrians, killing one.
July 04 2002 An Egyptian gunman opens fire upon Israelis at the LA int. airport killing two and him self.
October 2002 Beltway sniper attacks motivated by an affinity for Islamic Jihad.

Consider it bashed.
Not cripplingly so, but 14 dead and 23+ injured isn't nothing.
true! Interesting what all these nice people had in common...:hmm:
...if you mean they where Islamic extremists thats because it is a list of attacks
by Islamic extremists!
The other ~14% religiously motivated attacks I did not list.

Well, yes, but there wasn't anything to the scale of 9/11 before 9/11, so your point is rather mute.

So...it's no tragedy when single numbers of people gets killed? When does it become something worthy of your time? 10? 100? 1000?

A. I said "close" to the scale.
B. It "moot", not "mute".

W looks to be a fair aimed side-swipe. Have to see how that goes, but it'd take a lot to beat the wit of 'Yes Minister'.

Don't put words in my mouth. Even a scratch on the cheek is a tragedy to somebody...

Very well:

Well, yes, but there wasn't anything close to the scale of 9/11 before 9/11, so your
point is rather moot.

Maybe, maybe not. 7 years of "War on Terror" and the terrorists are still alive. They just dont have to plan big attacks to get lot of westerns killed, as they can just leave their home, walk to the nearest US checkpoint 500m away and blow themselves up.

PS. Just to end my curiosity, wasnt the WTC bombing in '93? Or was there two?

HAHAHAHAHA Just 12-14 hours till you weep for your lost era of hate! Or go mad because "He" won.


Regardless I could could care less what Obama does for you. Tho I suspect you will sadly benefit unless you are over 250k rich.

Don't like dems? You better get the republican party back to its old roots rather than being the party of "Pro-Gun, Pro-Life, Pro-War and Pro-Tyranny"
