No, dude, I've been thinking that way for years. Al-Qaida's original plan was to have 30+ hijackers on the planes on 9/11. All they could get was 19. That's the best they could do after 5 years of planning. There just aren't that many of them in U.S..

Yeah, bringing down the WTC and killing 3,000 Americans in the process, plus hitting the Pentagon, and you say, "That's the best they could do"???

Insanity is free-flowing around here.

Z, > No, dude, I've been thinking that way for years.

Personally, I would not tolerate even an attack on the level of 3/11 in Spain or the 2005 London bombings.

Seems like you would. "That's bad, but not as bad as 9/11 and certainly not as bad as what 9/11 could have been."

If you get a chance, watch the documentary on the 1993 WTC bombing.

The WTC would have come down if not for parking the bomb in the wrong place because the desired parking spot was occupied/blocked.

These are highly educated people willing to die to kill you. Don't sell them short.

Reminds me of American's views of the Japanese early in the war.
