    9/11 Attack

    http://peacefultomorrows.org/

    So what do you all think? They lost family members and loved ones in the attack, yet they don't want violent reactions or war caused by what happened on 9/11 to take place.

    I don't think radicals will ever be open to a hug your western neighbor idea. It's either their way or death. For them I prefer that later.

    It's a good attitude to have as long as you have SAS, SBS, Green Hats, Marines and SEALS putting holes in the bad guys heads,

    The crap that many schools do is not the crap I was taught or train in or teach.

    Dam nit... it made sense when it was running through my head.

    I'd love it if our world allowed us to do that and if violence didn't solve anything, but it does. These people want the US destroyed, so inaction on our part is just leaving the door even more wide open than it was pre-9/11.

    as a person heavily influenced by Buddhist thought and practice, I very much disgust at war. I try to find ways of solving things without violence, but I agree with Ford here. Violence sometimes is necessary to protect or stop violence from happening to you. Like I've always said before....you need the right mindfulness. The right motivation. Don't enjoy "revenge", don't celebrate killing or going to war. However that doesn't mean don't defend yourself. Fight, and fight well. Win at all costs. But when you do...do not scream in victory or give high fives for killing off the enemy. One should think "This has truly been disgusting...and I wish it never to happen again."
    With that mindset, I think even violence can sometimes become a noble thing...

    wrong target

    Sure, go after the terrorists. But the civilian death toll in Afghanistan already exceeds the casualties of 11/9. Not to mention the fact that you guys sponsored the fanatics for years. Please stop being so high and mighty about it all; it´s like you were the only nation in the world that´s suffered from a cruel and cowardly attack.

    Most of the Afghans were killed by Pakistani, Arabs and other Afghans.

    Deep, heavy, sigh....

    What was it I read on a bumber sticker once?


    No one wants a Marine in the neighborhood until the enemy is at the gate.

    I have to give it to the peace-niks though, they just don't seem to understand that if it wern't for this countries willingness to engage in the violence and war that they claim to despise, they and the press would not have the freedom to protest a f-ing thing! Enough to drive you crazy.

    Thumbs up

    "...hate your enemies with a whole heart, and if a man smite you on one cheek, smash him down; smite him hip and thigh for self-preservation is the highest law.
    He who turns the 'other cheek' is a cowardly dog -a Christian dog.
    Give him blow for blow, scorn for scorn, doom for doom: with compound interest liberally added thereunto. Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, aye four-fold, a hundred-fold. Make yourself a Terror to your adversary and when he goeth his way, he will possess much additional wisdom to ruminate over..."

    -Ragnar Redbeard, Might Is Right.

    An excellent passage, GDA!
