What should be the punishments handed out to those responsible for the deaths of nearly 3000 Americans.

Eventually there is going to be a reckoning for those who are responsible for the deaths of so many.
What do you believe should be done to those who are responsible. We claim to be a christian nation... how will we handle those who are guilty for so many dead.

Are you talking about 9/11 or Iraq?

If you are talking about Iraq & Afghanistan KIA, the enemy is to blame.

I'd say the President for putting them in harms way.

Since I'm sure you're talking about the radical muslim terrorists who orchestrated September 11th,

No she's not.

> We have killed more of their innocent people then they killed of ours in 9/11. What should happen to those who did that?

Sounds like a guilt complex. War is a terrible thing, I could only hope the other side feels as badly for our innocent ones as some here do.

Excuse me, not all the people who died in the WTC attacks were American. 568 non Americans died including 56 Brits, 36 Indians, 34 Puerto Ricans, 26 from the Dominican Republic and 25 from Japan.

Ahem, I hate to brake it to you but of that list you should exclude the Puerto Ricans, as they are American citizens.

Solitary confinement in a room at body temperature, no windows, no clock (let him wonder endlessly just how long he has been there), a toilet, an attached shower room and the same food put into a trough from outside the cell by gaurds who he does not see. Absolutely no reading material, or entertainment, no correspondence with anyone, and no communication with even the guards or prison administrators, and he can never step foot outside the cell. Constant video monitoring to prevent suicide. He can eat the same food, drink water and stare at walls 24 hours a day until he dies of old age.

I know, too easy for the guy but i am just a big softy.

When you fight an enemy who hides behind, and among women and children, who is responsible for the deaths of the innocents? Should we not pursue our enemy, because of their cowardice? Should we sit back and wait for our enemy to deliver their hatred and scorn for our way of life to our door steps, yet again and again?

How about, "oh shucks, please don't kill anymore of our loved ones", we will agree to follow your doctrine?

War is unfortunate, the deaths of innocents a tragedy of the highest order, but a war has never been carried on without it being so.

Should we pull out and ensure that not one more of our soldiers loses their live for our Country? I only wish it were that easy.

I worded it the way I did for a reason.. to see which side of the blame and punishment game people would fall down on.

And I am surprised more people did not see right through it. You have a strong track record of making posts to attack the current administration with sneaky wording.

Quote

But it is interesting that some of you on the right seem to feel that our leaders need protection for their actionsw.

No need to defned. You clearly have a need to attack. Nothing wrong with that if it is what you like. But please try to be honest about it.

1/20/93 Take office
2/26/93 WTC is van bombed.
Do nothing to find perpetrators for EIGHT years.
1/20/01 Leave office
9/11/01 WTCs are destroyed by same people. 3000 die.

2006 "Claim" to have left instructions for others to do something. Blame doubts of veracity on "conspiracy". Verbally attack others for doing nothing.

So I guess putting all of those people.. the Blind Sheik... and Rami Yusef...etc... in jail for life fits into your view of doing nothing???

Seems like some serious right wing revisionism of history yet again.

[happythoughts 0]

Nobody is perfect. I can't really say perfectly nothing.

I'll revise it to so little that it resembles nothing.
Kind of like the limit as it approaches zero.
It's not zero, but we can't tell the difference so we call it that.

After all, someone wrote a note and put in on the refrigerator as they left. It said, "I've been home all month and left the place in ruins. Be sure to clean up all my messes."

Is leaving a note after 8 years, doing something ?

Do you have any idea about the process that one administration goes thru in handing over power to the incoming administration???

Want to bet there were NSA meetings and breifings ad nauseum???

I would imagine that the turnover was succint.

If there was a warning, it was to expect the attacks to expand in frequency and ferocity.

What it probably didn't point to was the cause.
Action without reaction only creates more action.
Allow the "bully in the schoolyard" to function with impunity, they become more bold and more aggressive.

OBL was quoted in an interview as saying that the US was a 'paper tiger' after Somalia. He thought he would be fighting for 10 years, like the Russians. It's on the NPR website, read the interview.

A lot of problems, like OBL, could have been solved 8 years before 9/11 by some action. We live with the results of that failure.

Blame Clinton...sheesh.. If as many things as the right has claimed he is at fault for.... the man is flawed but why cant you guys get over the fact that he actually got some action...

The truth goes back to the right wings favorite son.. and the Iran Contra.. Afghanistan war. All that plausible deniability.. and the guys in the basement... they created this monster...both Osama and Saddaam. but you keep trying so spin out of it by blame Clinton.

You made him.. get on with the job of catching him already.

I was just suggesting that the appropriate time would have been in 1993. Perhaps someone was just too busy playing the sax and being cool and charming to do the job of being President.

You do agree that he did nothing significant to apprehend OBL and associates, true ?

That person, through his continuous inaction, created a climate of violence that escalated into the events that caused the deaths of 3000 people.

Back to Your question. What should be his punishment for killing 3000 people ?

The Presidency of Ostrich Boy

And by your reckoning.. for training and supplying Osama and Sadaam.. what should all of Reagans accomplices.. including ALL of the people CURRENTLY in power be charged with for killing .. what.. over 1 million??

[freeflir29 0]

Oh please..........the US has trained and equipped thousands upon thousands of people over the years to fight proxy wars. Those seeds have come back to bite us MANY times. So now you are saying we should never equip and train anyone else........I suppose we should just send American troops every time. Yes..........we should have sent American troops directly to Afghanistan to confront the Russians. THAT would have worked like a charm.

If I recall correctly, the turnover was dominated by claims from the incoming administration that Clinton's folks had trashed the White House. Claims that turned out to be totally bogus.

And, of course, Cheney's secret cabal on energy policy.

We could have done SOMETHING after the Russians left.. instead...the republican administrations of Reagan and BUSH the First.. CUT AND RAN... leaving Afghanistan to fester and turn into what it became... a breeding grouind for murderers and thugs.
