My subject is what do we consider stopped a attacks? Our work in Afghanistan? Iraq? Our joining to a fight upon terror? Could it be operative for us? Obviously it’s a single or a other.
Enlighten me Snap.
No, Flipper we don’t. We’re during fight with Iraq. Maybe we should have competent my statement. And for a record. I’m not a ‘neocon.’
American interests equates to embassies in alternative countries, a planes, a soil. we assimilate which we’re during fight with them. There is a disproportion from a fight front, than terrorists attacks upon civilan sites.

Think of it this way.
There’s a nasty,poorly behaved kid in the neighborhood.
You’re walking down the street.minding your own busines,and the little monster runs out and punches you right in the crotch and runs off.
You do nothing but complain and nothing happens.
Everytime the little monster sees you outside,he runs up and hits you in the crotch.
You bytch and moan and nothing is done with the kid.
This goes on for years.
Finally,the kid is 6’2".
He comes running at you with an ax.
You pull out your pistol,yell warnings and he keeps coming,you yell warnings,he keeps coming.
You blow his brains out.
If somebody had spanked him when he was little and taught him how to live peacefully with others,he’d still be alive.
If at some point you’d run him down and beat the hell out of him,he’d still be alive.
Now,half the neighborhood is pissed at you,even though the kid was hitting them too.
Wow! Isn’t it interesting how the attacks stopped after 9/11. Perhaps Bush isn’t so bad after all?
The attacks haven’t stopped.There’s attacks aimed at American interests almost every day.
Ifyou’d pay attention to anything other than Fake News,you might know that.
Edit-We’re not at war with Iraq.The government of Iraq is an American puppet.It’s not the country of Iraq attacking Americans.Or the country of Afghanistan.Know what the hell you’re talking about before you make completely false statements about things that you know nothing about.
The US Government’s definition of an attack against American interests is an attack on any American,anywhere,so I guess you got the wrong memeo,winger.
actually, look deeper, what did america do to instill hatred for us
or better yet see what our corporations have done to instill hatred for us….
America is less safe now than it has ever been as we have riled up a lot of muslims with our invasion and killing 600thousand civilians
do you think those family members are pacifists?
I think I am seeing a common theme. Their people don’t want us there.
If you continue to use facts and logical ideas on Yahoo, you will get suspended.
you forgot how they raise the price of oil to cause American headaches
I think the work of Sean Penn, Susan Sarandon, and Tim Robbins stopped it. Their call for all of us to love one another, and realize that Bush is the problem with everything has done it.
So you do not consider our troops in Iraq as "American interests"? They are attacked daily.
What about all of the Iraqi infrastructure we are rebuilding…are those "American interests"? Those are attacked daily too.
And the "green zone"…also attacked daily.
So basically, since we invaded and occupied Iraq, attacks on American Interests have occurred DAILY…not stopped. So much for your neocon so-called "logic".
EDIT: Again, you "logic" fails. We are not at war WITH Iraq. The people we are fighting do not represent Iraq. We are at war with terrorists who are stationed IN Iraq, so all of our troops and investment within the country should be considered "American interests". If you count the troops killed in the Khobar towers (we were not at war WITH Saudi Arabia either, we were just stationed there), you should count our troops in Iraq too.
EDIT2: Wow, you keep tripping over yourself! If "American Interests" means "embassies in other countries, our planes, our soil", then why are you including a restaurant in Spain, and a cruise ship in the ocean? Also, the 2 CIA agents killed in 1993 was the result of a crazy person with a gun and a grudge, not an Islamic terrorist.
Yes, there is a difference between terror attacks on "the war front, than terrorists attacks on civilan sites", and exactly by that difference, the daily attacks on the green zone should count as attacks on "American Interests".
The Iraqi government has "invited" the US to station our troops there to fight terrorists, and are currently working on a long-term agreement to keep us there, therefore our troops and all related infrastructure are "American Interests". You can’t spin your way out of it.
79,two things kept Carter from rescuing the hostages,A freak sandstorm and Reagan.
Beirut bombings Reagan cut and run. On the bright side we beat Granada and it only cost 19 men.
The attacks in the 90′s perpetrators were arrested or killed.
9/11 involved more than just the WTC. Most involved are dead or arrested with the exception of OBL.
There have been terrorist attacks since 9/11,so nothing stopped terrorism
Terrorists are like dogs with rabies, short of putting them down nothing stops them, they kept coming and multipling, i believe, and i hope to god i am wrong, but this is just the quiet before the storm, and then GOD help us all
might want to point out to you that the list you provided is incomplete….
there were more attacks worldwide since 9-11. (Spain, England, Indonesia)
http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/index.html
Hmm… A tragic and interesting list.
Can I add something? How about 4,000 American GIs dead in Iraq and Afghanistan? How about 21,000 maimed and wounded? Can you or the administration guarantee that there will be no future attacks because of their sacrifices?
Do you see that the timing of the attacks are years apart? That means that it takes years for attacks to be planned and executed.
There are studies done that the US reputation in the Islamic communities are its lowest point. Do you see the holes in the US border and vessel security? Do you see oppotunities that the terrorists can exploit? The answer to both questions are yes.
Ask the people of London or Madrid just how much safer the world is.
Or for that matter, ask any American soldier who has to live in fear of roadside bomb.
As a matter of fact there has been a huge increase in terrorists against the US since Bush/Cheney invaded Iraq with their own brand of terror.
God, you people. All for ‘war heroes and you’re sitting at home nice and cozy in your homes freaking scared of your own shadows.
If you want to feel terror go live in Bagdad with heroes bombing civilian targets all the time.
