From what I've been hearing a large group of military countries have been rallying together to put an end to countries who harbour terrorists... many signs so far have been pointing to Bin-Laden and the officials from USA have not been denying it, and have issued once again that Afganistan release him into their custody. They seem, so far, to still be denying this... and have been since 1993 when the first bombing occured (also said to be Bin-Laden) I, frankly, hope this does resolve in some sort of military punishment to those who harbour these kinds of criminals... to me it makes them criminals themselves to do such a thing. Bin-Laden is a $200 million man who spends his money on training terrorists, and he does not deny that fact. He trains people to suicide bomb, he trains people to fire rocket launchers, he trains people to kill and cause the most chaos when doing so. How can it be that we allow this to go on? I'm sorry if there are so many who don't want to see a war arise from this event, but it's not just THIS event... it's many in the past... and probably many in the future. We have heard that this Bin-Laden has been copying Revelations in the bible, supposedly in hopes that he will end the world. This is rediculous... He is claiming, in essense, that he is god. and I quote from Revelations: (Sorry this is the NIV, no old english.)
"Look, he is coming with the clouds,
and every eye will see him,
even those who pierced him;
and all the peoples of the earth will
mourn because of him
so shall it be! Amen.
" 'I am the Alpha and the Omega,' says the Lord God, 'who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.' "
Revelations 1:7-8
It has been said that Bin Laden was preaching to his terrorists that this is what will happen, and that he is "Lord God" himself. I don't know about you... but even if you are not religious at all.. you must see how horrible of a crime this is. To cause such death in the name of God... and then to claim that you yourself ARE that God.
I am sick of terrorism running so free... Something needs to be done, like in Password: Swordfish. Terrorism must be made an example of before it will stop. And who better to make such an example but the Americans and their numerous powerful allies.
And to Laur: I never heard once speculation that the attack in Kabul was american.. I heard right away them stating that Cruise missle attacks at that distance and in that amount of time would be virtually impossible... They were more concerned if it was Israel or another country striking on behalf of the Americans.
And remember, the World Trade Building was DESTROYED... It is not only an american building. 430 some odd companies from 26 countries world-wide use the same towers to conduct business from all across the world. This attack effects every single one of those 26 countries. Every conference we have heard so far has had very deep notion that war will arise from this. Frankly, I think it should. This sort of terrorism should not be tolerated.
