Re: "That is about the most stupid statement you have made since we have starting exchanging posts. If I am reading you correctly what you're suggesting is that 9/11 happened because we exist and bin Laden did not like that we exist so he decided to punish us [for our existence]. Is that what you're saying? The whole jealousy argument.......he is jealous of what we have so he was going to hurt us for it. Is that really the level to which you are stooping?" Ahem, and you claim to have gotten that fantasy from my guess that YOU feel we were attacked on 911 partly because we gave Iraq chemical weapon capabilities? Where do you dream this stuff up? Rumsfeld himself reported back in '84 of having repeatedly warned Iraq not to use chemical weapons, but that's just an accurate aside. I think we certainly did not deserve the 911 attack, not thanks to our prior acts or any other reason given, and that the perpetrators of and sympathizers with the 911 attack, were quite wrong, awful, and need to be put down for our own good. You've said some fairly, I think, wrongheaded and contradictory things on the matter, IMHO. Chinu doesn't see the difference between the actions of Bush and those of Hitler. Do you think Bush is akin to Hitler too? Dan B.
