I'm sure that's not true.

I heard --not sure if true-- that Jews have horns.

Sorry, but the only people who believe this are stupid people and/or people who don't like Jews.

That story came out of Lebanon. It their way of absolving themselves of this atrocity, while at the same time, blaming their enemy. Plenty of Jews died in the WTC.

The blame game is a never ending fools paradox.

Gets right down to it; if you've got one drop of mid-east oil mixed into your fuel tank and you turn that key......you're to blame.

All those wells burning after Iraq was expelled from Kuwait caused more than one heart attack in BP/Shell/Exxon/and a host of other smaller players boardrooms and you can bet the farm they demanded military intervention/incursion from anyone and everyone to prevent the likes from happening again.

Put simply; they probably levered to remove the ability for "filthy arabs/camel jockeys/sheep shaggers/sand-fleas/" to have control over something as valuable as the "world's" oil.

Major corporate interests are running this planet and any illusions you might be under your government is on your behalf is just another fantasy on the same order as The Wizard of Oz. At least in the fantasy; Dorothy eventually discovers and confronts the sham artist.........

I was 14 at the time, and I remember my immediate thought was "I am so happy that my brother is no longer in the Marine Corps." Then I felt incredibly guilty after that because I knew even back then, there were people who had to die because of this.

Was there Intel YES- but I don't know - why I said heard- I am sorry anyone died period- it was tragic- but no way do I hate/dislike Jews- that's your thinking- have much to thank the Jewish community in my personal life- unfortunately all kinds of stories are created and changed. I was not there, just passing on what I read some time later, but thanks for clearing it up -

No problem. Snopes says the claim is false, as do most other people that aren't from the Middle East. Most of those countries use propaganda on their citizens, many of whom have a 3rd grade education and live a third world life, so they eat it up. It's understandable, in a way. It just gets disheartening when non third world people buy into it.

I was at a business meeting when somebody turned on a television and we watched the first tower fall. My thought was, "That took them long enough." A friend called and reminded me that I had predicted both the targets and the means some twenty years earlier. I even stated that it was done by fundamentalist Saudi Wahabist fanatics.


What I did not predict was the use of the tragedy by George Bush to finish off their war with the hated Saddam instead of hammering the Saudi's actually responsible. I will never forgive the Saudi's for the attack and George Bush for starting a war with the wrong people for his personal vengeance.

It was none of our business in the first place and no, he really didn't break any of the terms. He let on like he did to keep those we know as terrorists today at bay, but he didn't do squat.

That being said, I was responding to the statement that essentially said 9/11 was our fault for meddling in the Middle East. And the later statement that the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was our fault too.[/quote]

We neither belong on their side of the Pacific or in the Middle East.

I agree we don't belong there, but that was not the trigger for 9-11. Look at all the European counties who make nice with islam and criticize the US and israel, and get terror bombed by muslims regardless.
