hope you don't mind if i butt in again... jus gotta straighten some things out...
First of all, ever heard of the Gulf War? The US went in to Iraq, due to Iraq invading Kuwait. They had many a chance between then and now to get rid of Saddam.
What do you think the US has been up to over the past few months in Afghanistan? Uhh... they've been looking for Osama... among others... Still haven't found em... nope...
The US couldn't of done anything to prevent Sept. 11? Oh please... The FBI even admits that there were many clues pointing to something of that sort, and they were disregarded... possible due to communication failures between the FBI and CIA.... etc. Jeeze.
Yes, it was indeed a very tragic event. Osama does not like the way of life in the US, because, of course, we're a world power, with such high standards. Sure, there are many other nations out there with a comparable standard of life, but the US is by far the largest with such a high standard.
Sure, the US is not perfect. But there is no country out there that is. The US may possibly be the best, though. There are many terrorist attacks to many different countries all over the world. It's just that this one struck the world because it was unlike one that was ever seen... Airplanes crashed into towers of the world greatest superpower.
Think about that.
And, by the way, I do believe L.A. is in California...
