Bin Laden reportedly to release tape by Sept. 11

There was nothing symbolic about it.

Upper leaders of Al-Qaeda have publicly stated the symbolism of the targets chosen.

WTC - financial/economic

Pentagon - military

Other target - political


Heavily symbolic.

To us not them ... the damage would have been staggering.

Osama looks like a wildebeest when you're stoned...

The distinction being that the dead soldiers are just that, soldiers in a war. The people that died in the WTC were innocent men, women, and children who were just going to work (or brought to a nursery).

But, in any case, feel free to fuck off and die.

You missed my point completely.

Let me restate it:

The casualties are terrible. Horrible. Tragedy.

My focus was on the NUMBERS.

3,000 civilians compared to

Napolean's invasion of Russia in 1812, WWI (Verdun) and WWII for example, involved millions....millions.....tens of millions of deaths....

Look at the number of deaths in 9/11, and compare them to even the American civil war (500,000)

Look at the numbers.
