Racism running rampant!

[SpongeBob]

So you think this is due to Americans lack of intelligence. Can you name me one place in the world where this would not go on, if somebody of a different
culture attacked the country, people who are of the same ethnicity would not be shown hatred. Are you naive to think that Americans living in japan
wouldnt have gotten it much worse during WWII as well as those in Iraq during the persian gulf. I do think what is being done is completely wrong and
cruel, however there are more Americans that will stand up to this kind of nonsense and defend Arabs rights than any other foreign country's citizens
would do in return. This is a fact of life and war and doesnt have anything to do with Americans individually.

Are you saying you have conclusive evidence as to who did this? Wow, I'll bet the government would like that information.

as bas as it is it is expected... you got 250 million people here and there are going to be some that get really pissed off and use their emotions and not their heads. The amount of attacks and racism is not that great when compared to the number of people here in the US and the circumstances we are in. it is just life and we should be smart to realize that the small percentage of racism acts should simply be ignored and not given anymore notice than deserved.

You mean conclusive evidence that the government has already named all 18 terrorists on board these planes? WTF are you reading?

spongebob, watch the news they have a pretty good idea. They have 19 identities of the hijackers, they have raided locations from Boston to Florida to Germany, they have a pretty damn good idea who's behind this.

What did you expect? This is America. Yeah, people are gonna cry, hold hands, light candles, sing songs, hold memorial services, etc. Give it a few months and everyone'll be back to the "us"-"them" attitude. Aside from the annual honor that they're gonna give this incident, most everyone pretty much will go back to being their petty selves in the times between. Here's to hoping it won't be the case though.

Yes, I've seen all this. They have yet to link them to Bin Laden as far as this act is concerned. That is why Afghanistan is saying they will retaliate if we attack them for harboring Bin Laden, because we don't have proof that he was indeed behind it all.

Just like what happened back with Columbine. The shooters wore all black, therefore all people who wear black are evil and want to kill people, right? That's the way the media portrayed it, and that's what the school administrators seem to believe.It's been said here already - intelligence is not one of America's high points. So what now, if a white person kills someone, that would mean that all white people are evil, right? Learning by association can be a good thing, but some people just take it to extremes.

Well a few have links to Bin Laden, I don't really know much else on this though.

"That is why Afghanistan is saying they will retaliate if we attack them for harboring Bin Laden, because we don't have proof that he was indeed behind it all."

So, if we had proof (which I think we do) Afghanistan would welcome us attacking them? This is bigger than Bin Laden now, Afghanistan is on our hit list for past transgressions. They created a fertile environment for Bin Laden and people of his ilk, and they will have to pay penance for that. All the afghans are doing is saber rattling, which is about all they can do right now.
