World War III?

[88COBRA]

OMG!

I cannot believe what I am watching on TV. They are calling it the beginning of World War 3!

I am glad I am in Canada, but all my best goes out to all of you Americans!

I hope to God it stops!

As an American I muist say I am truely horrified. I cant believe what has happened. I ask that we all say a prayer for those that have lost thier lives in this tragic accident and those emergency workers and their famillies. Their are a couple of uor beloved members from new york and I hope and pray noone was hurt. I just cant believe any of this. I hope that whoever done this or is responsible dies a slow horrible painful death.

[Capri306]

Thank you for your sympathy, Ian.

I can't tell you guys how distrought, angry.......whatever I am right now. This was outright the most horrifying thing I've ever seen in my young life, and I just pray to God that we as Americans will get through this together. I'll be going down to the Red Cross to donate blood today myself. Let's all say a prayer for those in NYC and Washington, and also those aboard those planes. I hope the man I helped get elected into office will do the right thing now.

I'm so upset, I'm shaking... Those cowards must be punished, why must innocent people suffer?

Wow......i'm speachless. They said something about 2 planes aside from the ones that crashed that were headed toward Los Angeles or something like that, but i didn't hear that much for it so i think it was just speculation or something. i saw footage of the 2nd plane that hit the 2nd world trade center (which fell down). This is totally messed up! This is the most cowardly way to wage war.

Sorry, just to clarify, I was typing very quick, and I have just realized my typing error, 3 not 4.

I'm still in shock/disbelief! I've been watching the news almost all day (not much work getting done anywhere today, I'm sure).

Although I'm in Canada, I'm just as outraged as if it happened right here in Toronto.

This kind of cowardly attack should not go unpunished!

The sight of the people in the West Bank rejoicing at the news made me want to throw up. I can't imagine being part of any religion/culture/faction that has such a low regard for human life.

If these suicide attackers think that they're doing something for the glory of Allah, or whatever, they'll find out the hard way when they don't get to meet Allah in the afterlife, but when they arrive at the gates of Hell!

[84LX89GT]

I don't care whether people worship an 8 armed elephant, or a goddam 10 legged goat, it's WRONG to kill innocent people the way they did. Anyone who rejoices at innocent people's death in my opinion is just as bad as the aggressors and should be dealt with almost as severely as the purpetrators of the horrible act. I say find out who did this and DESTROY all of their resources that allow them to function and punish those who help them....i may be harsh, but i'm just so angry to see this happen...grrr........

[Kevin Price]

I am still speachless as well, it makes no sense at all.

I sincerely hope that we can not only join as a nation but that the entire world's governments can join together against this evil. It's cowardly and pathetic.

This is a blatant disregard for human life, life that is not differentiated by the color of our skin or our nationalality. It should be treated as a crime against humanity as a whole. Pray that our world leaders will join together and send a swift and severe punishment to the perepetrators.

Some people call me a heartless ****, and to an extent this is true. I rarely feel any type of sympathy for anyone that does something stupid. However, no one in those buildings, or aircraft, (besides the obvious) deserved any of this.
I know these are merely words charged with the task of bringing some sort of.....of meaning to this chaos. I am a God fearing man, and I believe that NOTHING happens without it being the will of God. Trying to understand, or even accepting this, is more than any one man, or country for that matter, is capable of.

As bad as it is, thank you God for not letting it be worse. Thank you for giving us this challenge, so that we may be stronger as a Nation. I ask only that those affected be blesed with your mercy. And that the one's responible be brought to justice swiftly and promptly. May we all be able to watch as justice is given to them.

But most of all, thank you for letting me learn from this.

Peace.

[Coupe Devil]

We must just be strong and pray for those that have lost thier lives or been hurt. IT makes me physically sick to my stomach that this such an attack has happened. I had always said that I would NEVER join anytype of defense group Army, Navy, Air force, Marines. After today I wish that I would not have felt this way earlier. I wish there was more I could do but there just isnt. I will give blood tommorrow and I ask that all of you do the same. Keep these truly unfrotunate souls in your prayers.

[69fastback]

we won't go to war over this. It is acts of terroism. It is not an attack form another country. We will get the ppl that did this and destroy them. I hope i get my chance. I don't think they will come to korea though.

[MiracleMax]

Could be.

My guess it goes like this.

We retaliate on the terrorist attack, some faction decides its time to go in and turn Israel into a blood stain since we decided to fight back. We go in things esscalate, the middle east polarizes along the two sides or just unites in a unified front against Isreal/US, Pakistan feels diplomatic pressure to join the united front against Israel/US drops a few eggs and leaves Israel glowing for million years, then its on, the west against the east and we decimate the world population All because some dumba$$ decided to attack the world trade center.

Thanks whoever you are

I don't know if Pakistan will join the group or not, seeing as we helped them against Russia(a mistake?). I think we may be able to salvage the situation. Find those responsible and take care of business. We are definitely at war though, those who harbor bin Laden are definitely the ones we are at war with, Israel will love the US jumping in on thier side. Hopefully we can salvage the situation, it will be tough indeed. Otherwise.. I can see it being the beginning of the end.
My first impression was that "It looks like WWIII to me". It very well may be. If bin laden isn't handed over, I see no way around it. There is no way we can take this and the world is going to see just how bad it can be.

I'm in NY, and yes, all you see on TV and in the news looks alot worse here at ground zero. It is just amazing that something like this can happen anywhere in our country. Te official death counts are still low, but there's no doubt that the #'s are way into the thousands. I know people who were in the building, outside the bldgs, across the street from the bldgs, and some firemen and cops who showed up after the 1st crash and before the 2nd who are still unaccounted for. It is a very sad time for us, as Americans. I pray that all those know and all those you guys/girls know in NY/DC are all ok. Those responsible must pay......and I pray to God that this doesn't ever happen in the U.S. again.

MiracleMax:

I think your scenerio may be a bit overblown.

We have always been on Israels 'side'.
Where do you think they get their weapons and the money to buy weapons from other countries? America. We send tens of millions of dollars to Israel every year. They depend on us to survive, in a sense, although they have never needed our ground troops and I don't see them asking for them in the near future.

I see a conflagration in the mid-east alright, but frankly, the Israelis are very tough; the state motto is: 'Never Again'. A reminder of what happened in WWII when German Jews were almost exterminated because they had nowhere to go and were even rejected by the U.S. at one time. Jews won't be defeated, enslaved, abused and killed by the millions again.
That was the whole point of the establishment of Israel in 1948. It is the reason Israel fights so hard against enemies and will again. We have been holding them back, so far, but if attacked seriously by their neighbors, Isreal will fight fiercely and I believe they will prevail.
Arab countries are not strong militarily. The 1967 and 1973 mideast war was mostly fought by Egypt against Israel and Egypt lost big-time. The '73 war lasted six days before Egypt surrendered (in effect).

I think that Israel will kick Arab butt all the way to the sea, and then some Arab countries will attempt to launch nuclear weapons at Israel. They will be intercepted and the country of origin will see a barrage of missiles rained down on them but no nukes.
It will be bloody and horrible and there will be much loss of life but it has to happen. The Arab-Israel conflict has been building for a long time. Arafat flatly rejected a wildly beneficial peace offer last year and that was the signal for the Arabs to start to prepare for all-out war. This attack on the U.S. is the opening round, in the hope that it will turn Americans against Israel. No chance. It will turn Americans against Arabs, for sure. Dumb move but not totally unexpected with what has happened in the past with Arab violence against Americans and American soldiers and property.

We need to retaliate quickly and in a way that will make the world's teeth rattle, the blow will be so hard. Will we? I can only hope but I don't think we can hesitate very long or the moment is lost and we are back where we were; vulnerable; a sitting duck.

MR 50 your right on the money ,when , iwas in the navy during all that lebanon peacekeeping crap , we docked in isreal 4 time's.one day , they invited us to visit one of their army bases , it was unreal i know they did'nt show us all their stuff , butt they are probably the best military going , no disrspect to our's but they are very prepared for all out war , to the end. i am not saying we are second rate by any mean's i spent 12 years in ,myself but they are mighty , for a small country.

Without commenting on the catastrophic tragedy that took place, I want to add my two cents. Israel's army is tough...very tough. Yes, they are a small nation, but I have not only seen training tapes of their troops, but have had the pleasure of meeting two Israeli police officers. These men train for an apocolypse. Let the reigns go and they will wreak havoc on their opposers. A nation of people with such a lengthy history of persecution and flat out slaughter, can only become stronger. And in this case, that is only so true.
