Is this you're another distasteful way of showing the HUGE American arrogance..?? Or you just wanted to win alliances by insidious provocations "the famous American way"? It's really cunning? Didn?t expecting "less" from you?.!! really..!!
What ever your intentions are, you'd better prepare to defend yourself.!
*************** " the people on that Pan Am flight that was blown up, off the coast of Scotland. They were human beings going about their business. They weren?t crusaders. They weren?t in the streets shouting ?death to Arabs?. They were ordinary people just trying to live their lives in peace. And if you were on those planes or in that building, you'd be just as dead as they are. It's not all butter when someone you know and love is dead. Then it becomes very real."
***************
Let me reminding you something about the "terrorist act" of this kind.!
"The day after a Soviet interceptor plane blew up a Korean passenger jet, the first sentence of a New York Times editorial (9/2/83) was unequivocal: "There is no conceivable excuse for any nation shooting down a harmless airliner." Headlined "Murder in the Air", the editorial asserted that "no circumstance whatever justifies attacking an innocent plane."!!
BUT?!!
Confronted with the sudden reality of a similar action by the U.S. government, the New York Times inverted every standard invoked with righteous indignation five years earlier. Editorials condemning the KAL shoot down were filled with phrases like "wanton killing," "reckless aerial murder" and "no conceivable excuse." But when Iran Air's flight 655 was blown out of the sky on the July 3, 1988 by the cruiser USS Vincennes excuses were more than conceivable -- they were profuse.
"Two days after the Iranian passenger jet went down in flames killing 290 people, the Times (7/5/88) editorialized that "while horrifying, it was nonetheless an accident." The editorial concluded, "The onus for avoiding such accidents in the future rests on civilian aircraft: avoid combat zones, fly high, acknowledge warnings."!!
To add insult to injury, Captain Rogers the commander of the U.S. Navy vessel, was awarded the Legion of Merit award for "exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of an outstanding service" by George H. Bush (Senior) in 1990. "I guess it was given for the stress of having to pick up and return charred bodies and torn limbs from children and pregnant women to the Iranian authorities or maybe it was in recognition of the most spectacular fireworks for the 4th of July celebrations". In any case, to this date there has never been an apology on behalf of the United States for this incident only an expression of "regret" over the incident.
In 1998, ten years after the incident, at a time when nobody really cared anymore, Newsweek did an investigative article that is worth reading.
http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/5260/vince.html<BR> It refers to the cover-up operation of the U.S. Navy, as well as the refusal of the U.S. Supreme Court to consider lawsuits filed by the families of the victims. The U.S. paid $ 2.9 million compensation ( $ 100,000 per person) to the families involved, while penalizing the Iranian government for $ 100 million for "an American" that was taken hostage for six years but later released by the Lebanese Hizbollah (go figure the value of an Iranian life versus an American life).
Now? 3000 dead in WTC and 100.000+ (and increasing) for retaliation in Iraq..!! what is your excuses at this time??
I somehow think there has to be a U.S. President who is as courageous as that "Madman, Libya's Ghaddafi", who took responsibility for bombing the Pan-Am 103 flight.!!
This is the FACT about the Pan-Am incidents." since you've bring it up..!!
Pan Am Flight 103 was Pan Am's regular Frankfurt-London-New York route which on December 21, 1988 was the target of a horrific terrorist bombing which killed 270 people.
In October 2002 it was reported that the Libyan government had made a compensation offer of $ 2.7 billion, about $ 10 million per victim. Then on August 15, 2003 Libya formally accepted responsibility for the bombing, but the statement consisted of general language that many people felt lacked an expression of remorse for the lives lost. Some people have also charged that the acceptance is a business deal aimed at removing economic sanctions and not a true admission of guilt.
Two known motives!
What is known is that there were two clear possible motives for the attack on PA103. The first was the American bombing on Tripoli and Benghazi in 1986 partially in an attempt to kill Gadhafi., but sadly a little girl Colonel Gadaffi and his wife had adopted was killed instead. The second was the July 1988 downing in the Gulf, by the USS Vincennes, of Iran-Air 655, a passenger jet the American warship incorrectly identified as a hostile military aircraft.
It may never be known whether either act prompted the bombing, or whether it was both, with Libyan and Iranian-paid agents working in concert, or with one group handing the job over to another when the Germans rounded up the PFLP-GC members near Frankfurt.
Sweet-p I wish you were 100% right. In this world there is a time to kill and this is one of those times. If we are not to go backwards we need to stand agianst those who would no not woul;d who do view you as a piace of property.
"In this world there is a time to kill and this is one of those times."
With this kind of logic and attitude you've got, your wish continues to be a "wish" and there is no hope for the humanity!
Who are you to decide who has the right to live and who must die..?? Are you working at the slaughterhouse..?? Man?. You are totally wasted and miss the point!
How ever?This world would be Eden "without" you guys, no one would ever miss you!
im not jumping in to this conversation but i do have a couple of observations.
there is a difference between the panam flight and the iranian flight. planning an event, planting a bomb and intentionally blowing up a civilian aircraft is a terrerist activity.
accidentally shooting down a civilian aircraft is a accident. i served in the military, we dont wake up thinking that we want to kill innocent people. soliders dont just get bored and decide to just let one fly, and launch rockets at the wrong target on purpose with the intention of killing civilians. especially from a naval gun. somewhere a mistake was made if such an event occurs. that is the difference between a terrorist attack and an accident.
Nonetheless this was an act of terror and can not be justified with the terms like "accident" were civilian lives are in danger, governmental forces and militias can not terrorising each others, but any act of violence against civilians are terrorist act both military, Police, militia, or what ever. I am not justifying the Pan-Am bombing was good ?everyone knows that it was horrible and unforgivable, but some of us in this board are way out of line and think every American act is good and the rest should do the same or shutting up?!
cant we all have opinions without wanting to go after each other. thats why the worlds so treetrunked up to begin with. everybodys right and the other person is wrong...blah,blah,blah.
im never vacationing on the politics board again.....i might be victim to an act of violence.
question- if an american fighter jet accidentaly shoots down an american jetliner and kills 200, is that an act of terror.
Accidents are not allowed to happen in this kind of "sophisticated munitions", we are not talking about bullets that have been fired from the fire arms, and missiles are fully controllable.
Another thing in Jetliners interesting to know is their (transmitter). Its kind of beacon that constantly sends and receives information about its position, "kind of ID" in standard radio waves that can be monitored from any type of radars, anywhere in the world "if the pilot turn it off then plane would be rendered as Unknown"...
Then the Military jets?they have a same transmitter but ONLY known to their country's radar operators!
Now..!
Considering that the US vessel monitor the jetliner presents and follow its flight pattern in IRANIAN own Air space and bring it down 10 miles ahead without even "eye sight" confirmation is something really unprofessional and stupid! "How'd you allow an stupid capt. Command a warship..??" Jetliners can not carry any type of weaponry, so what was that stupid cowboy thinking of at that moment is another mystery..!!
If any hostile forces to that vessel were presented at that moment then it should be sunk by the time of firing the missile "because anti ship missiles could be fired at 60+ miles with the fire and forget technology" they are undetectable by the radars and fly at high speed "mach 1.0+" right to the target at sea level!
So, it?s a deliberate act of murdering?no excuses can justify this and it is a terrorist act, to scare the Iranians and their government!
Definition of the word "terrorist" is not simple, like those idiots who took those school kids in the US as hostage and shoot 'em to death (columbine) ?are they terrorist or just murderer..?? or the Oklahoma incident! That Timothy McVeigh guy was stamped as terrorist because he killed innocent people? But US capt. NOT? comeon?!
Definitions of terrorism The word terrorism has been defined in many different ways by many different sources, and is therefore a controversial term without a simple agreed meaning. Criteria Generally speaking a definition of terrorism should examine each of the four major criteria, which are as follows:
? Target. It is commonly held that the distinctive nature of terrorism lies in its deliberate and specific selection of civilians as targets. Furthermore, an act is more likely to be considered terrorism if it targets a general populace than if it purposefully targets a specific individual or group. See also noncombatant and collateral damage. o This criterion excludes conventional warfare in accordance with the laws of war, attacks on military targets (such as the bombing of the USS Cole) and guerilla warfare and revolution military targets.
? Objective. As the name implies, terrorism is understood as an attempt to provoke fear and intimidation. Hence, terrorist acts are designed to attract wide publicity and cause public shock, outrage and fear. The objective is closely allied to the nature of the target. By deliberately selecting defenceless and unsuspecting civilians as targets, the terrorist ensures that the level of shock and outrage, as well as the publicity, will be extreme. It may also be part of the terrorist's objective to provoke disproportionate reactions from states. For example, some argue that the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York were intended to draw the United States into an escalating conflict with Islam worldwide. o This criterion excludes the Holocaust and other cases of genocide, which are undertaken to exterminate, not to intimidate, and which are usually hidden rather than publicized. Also, any violence against targets unlikely to attract public notice and having little effect on the populace at large.
? Motive. These acts are intended to achieve political or religious goals, not for personal gain. For example, a gang of bank robbers who k
Both Kerry and Bush are puppets of the controlling cartels in the US. So, in my opinion it doesn?t matter who is the President.. What is matter is Peace, continuation of the Humanity and the Freedom!
Apparently those topics are not popular in America with those bible belt population, White American Christians, hillbillies, KKK, hay wired cowboys, and rednecks. See comments of OldJoke..!! fine example of mature American fellow..!
If men had not went to war 60 years ago to stop a mad man from taking over europe . you would never had been or would be goose steping around the town right now. For some reason I can see you agreeing with Neville Chamberlin. Perhaps you need a time out Obone join Allen in the fishbowl.
We will talk about oliver later, where in europe do you live I know you have told us but we americans are very forgetfull. I am planing a trip to canterbury next summer I must see some old friends and then I plan to go to rotterdam for a visit. I may want to look you up to see just how mean I can make you.
and Cj7.. Sorry man to see you go.. it is not my intention to start a war.. however... I have to stop "or set a limit" to what is seems to be a "total madnes"..dominated by mad minds..
I Hope for forgiveness if I insulted any americans (with a right state of mind)..
Hey All... Here's my 2 cents worth if anyone is still reading this post and not been scared away by Qbone...
Indeed...I never had a doubt G.W.B would be re-elected even though it is a sad, sad, sad, sad, fact...it was always gonna happen.
Still I won loads of money off of bets with my work mates and mates at home because they were believing the independant polls and hype putting kerry ahead by a meager one or two points...pfff...
In times of war people will ALWAYS vote for the one who wants to defend themselves...a point proven time and time again...never mind who or why they are there in the first place...but then that is the "CURRENT" state of the human conscience...go figure...—
Lets face it...the world as we know it is a differant place since 9/11. This was the first and only time terror has affected us as a world...as a globe...hence the name of the target i.e...
"the WORLD trade centre"
9/11 as an event was essentially a wake up call to the WORLD but more importantly a turning point and mile stone in the history of western man as a whole. The end of an era...the first steps in a change process and part of the worlds never ending and natural evolution. A natural order that waits for NO man nor his puny laws, money and fear of change. Now what does all this have to do with this post you say...
Well...G.W.B, Americans and most of the world for that matter at the time believed this to be an attack on America. It was soon clear though that this was an attack on Western man and the world...NOT America on it's own...
Now the rest of this post I must stress pertains only to the brainwashed "MAJORITY" of the U.S population that re-elected G.W.B.
Take your bloody blinkers off...there is a world outside of America. Terror is a global problem...NOT just America's while war and fighting will NEVER end it...merely fuel and feed it...you and your cruisade give it purpose...you feed it...you fund it...and all because you are scared.
Your "OVER" patriotic, bang my drum, biggest & best, spoon fed from birth by the state mentality is now both terrified and angry because your safe haven bubble of a perfect world, white picket fence America has been burst. Thing is America was never any safer then than it is right now. Your knee jerk reaction to an attack on "Americans" and on "American" soil has led you into a war that is fighting an invisable bottomless enemy until your attitude changes not until you vanquish it in your usual gun-ho way. Your defense bill at the time of attack towered way over any other nations defense bill and now stageringly is the equivilant of the next five nations below you put together...that money comes from YOUR OWN pockets!
Your elected leader delivers speeches with the strength and grammar of a second grade, second language english school child. They may pluck your brainwashed heart strings into giving him money to fight his and his daddy's wars...but when he tries to wear a brave face and emotionally blackmail and ask the rest of the world to help him pay for his war that has cost NOT him but YOU his loyal minnions the tax payer $ 40 Billion I get annoyed. Annoyed not only because he thinks our mentality is such that emotional blackmail will work but because the rest of the world would not be at war either at the scale they are right now were it not for him.
Wake up...learn to think for your selves...look at the facts America...
After an imbarrasingly drawn out election riddled with problems and 100's of allegations of foul play he was finally elected. Two weeks into that first term of office he wanted to fight China because they shot down one of his spy planes that was in their airspace. His career has been a non stop series of wars, country wide recession, high oil prices the world over and general American hate campains ever since with an ever growing number of people who "hate" anything vaguley American. The nation for the first time in it's history feels "divided" after an election instead of just on the losing side this time.
Now with money fast running out coupled with an ever weakening American dollar on the stock exchange to speed that process for me it is just a matter of time before G.W.B has more problems on his own front door than in Iraq, Afganistan and anywhere else he might think it is...
Wake up G.W.B supporters...learn to think and act for yourselves. You not only imprison yourselves but your children and their legacy to a life of war and paying out of your own pockets for what IS the end of Ame
If Durrie and Obone are the wisw ones what is the anwser? you put down the U.S.A. government approch to fighting terror so what is the answer. Please tell us Oh wise ones. you say stop fighting and embrace change so we can regress into the stone age agian, so women can be owned sold as property. Look at who we are fighting . look at the talaban embrace them ? I am all for it stone women who won't behave, no school for females no jobs , I can't stand a woman who thinks she is better than a goat. Look at the funerals on the tv of the Ialolia spelled wrong they bounched him out of the coffen. A crowed of ten thousand let shoot in the air and see how many we kill of our friends yes I want to embrace these people. yes with a little luck we can all live in fear of the people who would make you believe they are the right hand of god.
Either you smoking "stuff" or you "drinking" a lot?man... your mind are poisioned by US media and the US Government?!!
Take a real look?
First: You Americans never gave a damn to what "woman's life like" in the third world?now you start using this sh.it as an excuse to your murdering habit— What do you care about those females huh..?? And why you starting this right after 9-11..."Where was this sense of (liberations) before that..??... When you are talking about your "damn democracy" do I have to mention those poor Vietnamese or Korean girls back in 70's that been RAPED, dishonoured? by some people that had same mentality like you?? "Yeah? see the freedoms?.here by, you are freed by the US army crap..??.. As I've said it before?hold your damn democracy to your own soil? rest of the world don't need that sh.it.
Second: Your damn war is against terror?means (Bin laden)? means? not (Saddam)..Also means.. Not Afghanistan?furthermore... not Iran, not Syria, .not North Korea?.not the rest of the world?but hell? you are American and have a right to decide for the rest of the world..!! Everyone that are against the American BULLSH.IT are a terrorist?count me in too?!!
Anyway?.
Instead of looking outside take a look at inside? 7 trillions of deficit on American budgets, lot of unemployment, no health program, not a good welfare system, a greedy community, and so on?..the list is long?but hell? suddenly old Jake wants to liberates woman from the third world?how touchy man?. Pass over what you're smoking .. Maybe I become wise ass like you too?who knows..!!
if thats what u mean qbone, that is what u should say. the generalizations are getting old.
u dont live here, the united states of america is a really big country that includes alot of different people with alot of different views. the majority wins. thats it. im no more responsible for any of this than a 12 year old boy in iraq who loses a leg this year. u can argue your point all u want but do not speak as if we are all the same, we are not.
durrie, i do agree with u on a lot of things and it is nice to have u back. the change in americans that people around the world are looking for is coming. nothing happens over night.
As I've said? I hate generalization and I don?t like it... That's why I apologizing for any inconvenience. Sometimes those majority need to be stopped, now, I am not like "Oldjake and telling that it is time for kill".. I hate kills, we have more than enough of that these days?but what do you suggest when majority of US nation think like Oldjake..?? and worse?want to export those sick IDEAS out of the US borders..?? Any Idea..??
No.: 173/2001 Date: 11 September 2001 Norway?s Prime Minister on terror attacks in USA: ?An unbelievable disaster?
?USA has today been exposed to a broad-scale terrorist attack. What now takes place in New York, Washington DC and other places in the USA, indicates an act of terror which the world has never before seen. We are witnessing an inconceivable disaster shaking and shocking the entire world?.
Norway?s Prime Minister, Mr. Jens Stoltenberg, said this in Oslo on Tuesday evening, following reports on major terrorist attacks in New York and Washington DC.
?This is an attack against the USA and the American people. But it is also an attack against the open, democratic society. All democracies now have an obligation to join in an uncompromising struggle against international terrorism?, the Prime Minister said.
?USA is Norway?s close ally. Many Norwegians live there, and our bonds to the US and to the American people are strong and numerous. On behalf of the Norwegian Government I strongly condemn these acts of terror. I also express our solidarity with the American people, and extend the Norwegian Government?s deepest condolences to the thousands of Americans who have been stricken?, Mr. Jens Stoltenberg said.
On behalf of the Norwegian Government the Prime Minister on Tuesday sent the following letter of condolences to the president of the USA, Mr. George W. Bush:
?Dear President Bush,
On behalf of the Norwegian government, I wish to express profound shock and grief after the massive terrorist attack on the American nation. We condemn in the strongest possible terms these barbaric acts targeting a large number of innocent civilians.
The United States of America is Norway's close ally. I want to express our strong solidarity with the American people and with your government. These actions are a blatant attack on democracy and on our societies. It underlines the importance of uniting in the fight against all forms of terrorism.
We offer our most sincere condolences to the families of the victims and to the American people.
Norway has been a supporter of international terrorist organisations in the Middle East, Asia and Africa for decades. Norway has become a safe haven for terrorists and murderers that are "refuges" from international law. Norwegian liberal emigration policies and the collapse of the justice system have also contributed to the growth of terror cells in Norway. Norway has become a melting pot for all the big terrorist groups. In Norway they can work nearly free for interference from authorities. The newspaper Dagbladet (19 April 2004) estimates that more than 40 Norwegian terrorist are fighting the American forces in Iraq. One Norwegian belonging to the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MKO) has been arrested by the American Forces in Iraq. The beautiful Central Mosque in Oslo. Illegal immigration
There are tens of thousands of illegal immigrants in Norway. Many of these are from Somalia, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Sudan, Chechnya and other regions with known terrorist activities. In 2002 more than 6000 immigrants, awaiting asylum, disappeared from the Norwegian refugees camps. The police and other authorities have limited knowledge of the illegal immigrants. In addition to the illegal immigrants we have "refugees", with no papers or passports, that claim that they are refugees. Several international terror experts believe that there are several terrorist and terrorist groups active among the illegal immigrants and "refugees". War Criminals
Several international war criminals has obtained asylum in Norway. In November 2003 Croatian seeks extradition of a Serbian war criminal that legally has obtained asylum in Norway. The war criminal was honest and informed about his 20 years sentence for War crimes. The Norwegian authorities awarded him both residence and work permission. The crime wave:
There has been a dramatic increase in crimes committed in Norway. The police have lost control and criminal groups and crime syndicates can work freely. A total of 426 053 Crimes reported in 2001, where off 18500 was drug related crimes. The drug trade is one of the main financing sources for terrorist organisation.
Terror groups active in Norway Ansar Al Islam.
Ansar Al Islam is one of the Islamic terrorists organisations that are active in Norway. The leader Mullah Krekar has allegedly had close contact with both Saddam Hussein regime and Al Qaida. In his book (released 22 April 2004) he admit to a meeting with Bin Laden and asking for financial assistance to Ansar al-Islam. He is also accused of genocide of his own people, The Kurds in Turkey, Iran and Iraq.
Ansar al-Islam recruits suicide warriors for missions in Lebanon, Chechnya Afghanistan and Iraq. They are also accused for organising miscellaneous terrorist activities in Europe.
The Ansar Al Islam leader Mullah Krekar lives in Norway and organise his troops in the middle east. Mullah Krekar has become an icon and a hero among parts of the rapidly increasing Muslim community in Norway. His organisation, Ansar Al Islam, kills coalition forces in Iraq.
Norway is currently providing a safe heaven for Krekar and members of his organisation. Lately the Norwegian Police has dropped the terrorism charges against him. The 2nd January Mullah Krekar was arrested again in January 2004 for organising several terrorist acts in Iraq. However it is likely that the terrorist friendly Norwegians will release him, or allow him to continue his work from the Norwegian Prisons.
During the court hearings in Oslo the 3rd January 2004, it was obvious that the Norwegian authorities have had knowledge about planning and organising of several suicide missions organised by Mr. Krekar and his organisation. The Norwegian police had also presented to the court transcripts from Islamic bulletin boards, e-mails and voice recordings proving their knowledge about Mullah Krek
Well? old news never get old?.Hehe, but... as I had a battle with para"sly" before about this topic?..and as I have mention it in this post as well, what you American dislike is marked as terrorist and should be stopped at all cost?! Look at it this way? If you see yourself as Mullah krekar or other (named terrorist by the USA)?do you still believe on these bull.sh.its..??
Don?t give me those old (refined) news? you have no idea about sufferings "day to day life"?!! Do you really feel what it means.. when I say "day to day life"..?? NO? This is one of the 100 links that I am using to investigate the truth.. care to look at it..??
After you get familiar with it? then let me know how you feel?
BTW? Mujahedin-e Khalq (MKO) are Iranian opposition groups and has nothing to do with Iraqis freedom fighters? errr?.sorry insurgents?hm.. sorry again terrorists?.!!!
