It doesn't matter who is held responsible, or who pays the price for the attack, it is irrelevant. What matters is that it was one of the most devastating attacks (be it terrorist or otherwise) in the world, both in terms of the amount of people who died as a result, and especially because of the outcome it had on the global economy. To try and place the blame on someone is like one preschooler throwing dirt in another preschoolers eyes and then blaming it on another individual. The end result is someone has dirt in their eyes, and it needs to be fixed. To an extent it matters who did it, but realistically by punishing them both you resolve the issue by displaying discipline and acting for the sake of correction.

We all know there is scientific proof regarding both sides of the conversation. Why? Because every. single. ------ing. year someone creates a video or re-links an old video that says the same old ----. We know the explosions were large enough that the fuel on a large plane was insufficient to cause such a blast. We know that for a blast to have been made of such magnitude it would require that there be some form of 'fuel' for the explosion inside the trade towers. These are two facts, but neither of them place themselves in either of the believed groups hands (ie, from those two facts one cannot prove that the US or a foreign group/country was involved). Most of the extra information provided is opinions, assumptions, accusations, or straight out ignorance. Very little facts have been presented outside the above, and without facts we cannot pull a logical conclusion to the events which occurred.

Yes, 2,000 people died, no one really cares, the world is over 6 billion people in size and despite the large amount of people who died, more were born on a large scale, in the grand scheme of the world, the populace which was killed is trivial, and thus excusable. The end result, and the much more pertinent result, is the effect the destruction has had on the US economy, and because of the scale the US has on other countries in terms of economy, the actual world economy has been in a steady decline. Obviously it isn't the sole reason for such a decline, but to claim it was an insignificant hit to the global economy would be ignorant.

Now, don't focus on the deaths, or pointing fingers at who did what, when, or how, but focus on the effect the destruction of what was essentially the 'global marketplace' and a major headquarters for the advancement of the global economy. The US is guilty of blaming foreign countries, the US is also guilty of claiming that it was a personal attack on us. Personally, I don't see how the populace could be so naive. Any intelligent person who stops being selfish and stops thinking about the things closest to them could step back, look at the overall picture, and see that the destruction of the world trade center has a much larger effect on the world than it ever did in the US. It could very well be the underlying cause of the attacks. If they were in another nation would they have been attacked? I don't know, but I personally believe they would have been. I think the fact they were in the US only added a little bit of icing on the cake. We bully nations around, we have been essentially the modern worlds greatest nation in terms of power, and everyone wants a piece of the big guy.

Honestly, I should probably lock this topic, because 98% of you couldn't fathom logic and carry on a well thought out discussion, but I enjoy listening to the same people talk without a clue about what is going on.[/b]
