Some poems about life in an occupied country...

Oerdin, what do you mean by that? I don't think that is OK because civilans got killed, but remember the attack was sheduled in the morning... If the only thing they wanted would be to destroy as many Americans as possible, they would have striked in midday. It was an atack on symbols (WTC - symbol of economy, Pentagon - symbol of strenght, White House - symbol of government), not on people, but, unfortunately, you couldn't destroy those symbols without many people dying. See, president was not even in white house when the attack occured. BTW, they could have done much more damage if they really wanted, by attacking military bases instead of penthagon, various buildings with lots of people instead of WTC, etc.

No, I do not justify Al Quieda, I've just said that killing people wasn't their prime target.

Shi Huangdi, Abdul-Aziz, if you don't know, was famous historical king. If someone would take nick "Ceasar", would that mean he is from Italy?

Killing people may not have been the main goal, but that doesn't change the fact that it was a massacre, an attrocity, just as much as if three thousand people had been marched out of town and gunned down in a ditch.

I was just pointing out you'll find people who support alsorts of things here. From the intelligent to the unintelligent.

BTW The attack happened a half hour after the typical start of a business day so it very much was planned to kill as many innocent people as possible.

I don't buy it. They wanted to kill as many Jews as possible. They just weren't smart enough to figure out that many New Yorkers don't get into the office until 9:30 or 10:00. Different schedule than the Mideast.

Chegitz, regarding to your previous post, I obviously know what settler is in Civ3. I however don't understand what has it to do with me or my nick... As I can see, other people has other words placed there... Is it some kind of word person chooses himself, or does it depends on post count or opinion or something else?

Oerdin, if it would have happened in middle of the day, even more people would get killed. Of course it was an attrocity but so are Israeli massacres in Palestine. And if not US support to Israel, sep 11 would have never happened...

[Abdul-Aziz]

Well, if they would be so dumb not to figure time, then they wouldn't have been able to create plans for attack as well. Some of the planners lived in USA themselves for quite a long time...

BTW, if they would have wanted to kill as many Jews as possible, they would have done this act in Israel, not in USA.

It has to do with your post count. Posts in the OT don't count.

Abdul-Aziz, checkout the FAQ section of the site under the heading "Apolyton: Forum: Rules" part XVIII. That's the official description of the ranking system.

That he knows phrases like "post count" instead of choosing simpler words wich most ESLers would choice makes me even more suspicious he's a DL. Hmmm, he's a settler, he's awake and posting at 4:30am Saudi time (that's prime time for bored teens in the US), and that he mixes up simple language but knows internet V-Board phrases all confirms his DLness.

[Abdul-Aziz]

Oerdin, this is obviously not the first forum I am in... I previously posted on other forums about and not about gaming, like adventuregamers.com , etc.

I am not from Saudi Arabia, I chosen this flag just because i like this country and would like to live there. Although time is the same in my country also.

[Abdul-Aziz]

DRoseDARs, thank you for the link.

It seems I am half the way to chieftain, with 14 non-OT posts...

Bin Ladens main beef is the US's support of Saudi Arabia, not our support of Israel.

[DRoseDARs]

I was about to ask about that, if you'd posted elsewhere in the forums first before coming here (I hadn't checked your profile yet). But you do understand why the DL aqusations have been leveld, right? Most people start out posting in the on-topics before they notice the OT. But when someone brand-spanking-newly-registered starts posting in the OT, the hazing ritual begins...

[DRoseDARs]

Why do you want to live in Saudi Arabia? Family, religion, culture?

Yes, I live in the USA, but doesn't mean I expect everyone would. We have our problems, and sadly they're worsening...
