I think what you're really saying here is you think you need to tell everyone else what they think because you think you understand what they think better than they do. I think you're wrong. I think you only think you understand what everyone else thinks because it makes it easier for you to think you understand what you think. But I don't think you do. I think you just like to think you do.

zonder. In reply to this question ....." was it torture or not when over 3,000 people were killed on 9-11 "..... You said...." Of course it was not torture, it was murder. Those two are quite different things. "..... And...." That's what terrorists do, unfortunately.".... IMO. terror is torture, it is psychological pain instead of physical pain inflicted on an entire country. Don't you think that the muslim homicide bombers in Israel are guilty of torture and that is exactly what their intention is...psychological torture and of course pain due to the ingredients in their bombs...rat poison and such...

It is you who are confused, zonder. And trying to attribute words that others did not say is not excusable. Here's exactly what I said at the end of my statement~!~ go back and look if you care to... >>>>>>What about the victims of these horrendous murderers? What would the rest of the world say if the accused were proven guilty, and then sentenced as if they were living in the country of their origin? Perhaps we'd have fewer people murder our citizens <<<<<<< Now, terrorists are both murderers and torturers, IMO. Note above, I said "if the accused were proven guilty, ..." The terrorists/murderers/torturers have taken advantage of America's laws and the citizens who live here. IF the accused are proven guilty, I say perhaps their own country of origin's laws should be in the open and how that country would handle such a terrible creature. The creature could be sent back to his/her country of origin, or the decision could be made in the US as to which punishment should apply.
