Send the pieces back to the families and tell them if they try anything like that again, the pieces will come back strapped to a nuclear bomb.

Oh fer cryin out loud... this bleedin' heart crap is gonna make me puke... why the hell should we go through the effort and expense of shipping their remains back home??? Do you friggin people not remember what they did?!?! And we're going to go out of our way to make sure they have a respectful burial??? Out of the 2 or 3 thousand people they killed, how many got a decent funeral service? How many had their remains given back to their families? And don't give me that "high road, don't stoop to their level" crap. Dump 'em in a stinkin' land fill or flush 'em down the toilet, I couldn't really care less...

I say we wrap them up in the flaps of skin from circumcized jews, soak them in holy water, fry them in pork fat, grind them up and use whatever is left in the foundation for whatever monument is built in Washington.

fvck the moral high ground...

Let's say you have a teenaged son, whom you've raised to the best of your ability, and done your damndest to teach right from wrong. He's a good, promising kid, you're proud of him, and have high hopes for his future. But one day, your son snaps. He goes off and steals a bunch of guns and ammo, then walks into his crowded school and pulls an act worse than Columbine, killing dozens of his classmates. He then ends the attack by killing himself.

Now, the issue comes up of what to do with his remains. Everyone's screaming "burn the fvcker!". Wouldn't you, however, plead and fight to get your son's remains back, so your family can hold a proper burial. If you say you wouldn't, you either have no heart, or you're lying to yourself.

What to do with 9/11 hijackers' remains
Should this even be pondered? I'm for making A LOT more remains in ALL of those middle east countries!! As a matter of fact, that is ALL I want to see over there! I'm not for "an eye for an eye," I'm for "an eye for 10,000 eyes." That is how you win a war. They want to play "every American is a target," that's fine. I say the WHOLE middle east becomes the target! Every damn moving thing in those countries!! :| I don't even want to see a roach moving after we're done. But of course that won't happen, and we'll just put 9/11 in the back of our minds were it will eventually will fade away. Happens every time! :|

John, you do know that they are being hailed as heroes right? They do not deserve the remains back. If a mother and father were praising their son / daughter for shooting up a school would you want to give the remains back?

Of course, being from a different religion and part of the world, along with the de-huminizing that has been tossed about, it makes them seem less then human and not dseserving of ANY rights whatsoever so I have to weigh that in as well.

Also, we must think of the families who are now short or lost all together.

I frankly, am split between turning them into urinal cakes and sending them back.

IMHO we should ask those affected by them. What do they want to do?

Who says their families are praising them? Hate to burst your bubble, but the Taliban is a terrorist group based in Afghanistan. This does not make all Afghans terrorists. (We had an American Taliban, remember?)

Not true at all. I would go into a terrible depression and be incredibly ashamed at how my son turned out. I would not want his remains back and just try to live out my days remembering him as a good little kid who just wanted to play in the back yard.

Furthermore, I would accept that my views would and should have little affect on what happens to them.

No, you've got the analogy all wrong. Let say a WHOLE country has been brought up to hate Americans and one day a group of people get togther and decide to crash into a building and kill as many Americans as possible. But hey, it would be nice of us to "do unto others as you'd like them to do unto you," and send the remains back. Gee, that would be really swell Beave! Give me a freakin' break! :disgust: I'd be glad to send something back, but it will be coming from the sky and end in a nice big mushroom!!

As if all these horrible things everyone intends to do with their remains will actually have an impact on anything besides childhood perversions on how cool it would be to mutilate a body.

You are a very sad, misinformed man. Jesus Christ, you sound like Osama himself, ranting about the United States.

Sure, we'll kill everything that moves. We'll kill all the children, infants, women, people who are just living their normal day-to-day lives, because we're pissed off about certain aspects of their gov't or a terrorist group that's hiding there. This is Osama's arguement for blowing the US off the map, and you say the same about them.

As for your little "happens everytime comment"...gee whiz, the Japanase seemed to be able to forgive and forget when we threw all of the Japanese-Americans, including 2nd and 3rd generation decendents who had never set foot in Japan, in concentration camps during WWII.

Put down your damn flag and THINK for a second, will you?

We have a winner!!!


Maybe they could just be ceremoniously flushed down the crapper.

Screw their families, and screw you bleeding heart pacifists. WHat's the word I'm looking for... I know.. GENOCIDE. :|

Man, you need to wake up an smell the coffee!! EVERYONE hates us over there....ok, maybe not 100% but 99.99% do. And the Taleban is just a group that actually acted out.

Once again, the sad, uneducated little man has his patriotic bit to add.

Right, the WHOLE country hates us. Which is exactly why we're fighting alongside the Northern Alliance. Do you watch the news? Here, I'll spell this part out for you: The Northern Alliances is made up of (Gasp!) Afghans! Taliban hates us. Taliban are the ones we hate back. NOT afghanistan. NOT the Middle East as a whole.

Are you 12, or just fcking stupid?

Now who's sad and uneducated? Do you not remember the very people we're now fighting were, at one time, our supposed allies? How long after we kick the crap out the current targets of our enthusiasm, do you think it'll be before the people we're fighting for start pulling the same crap? How many of our supposed allies over there have already turned their backs on us? I hate to tell ya, but most of what JackBurton said, is quite true...

Oh man you liberal guys are just to much. "Lets send them to their families" Oh give me a break!! We are the "Great Satan" to them. I agree with the guy that says mix them in with pig fat and make some urinal mints.

Anyone of you liberal bleeding hearts types out there ever watch the Arab networks? They were saying that it was the Americna pilots that were flying the planes not the hijackers. These wack jobs want to kill every last one of us, granted it is not hte entire Arab world but I would be willing to wager it was above 50% of them.

Bullsh!t.

Nearly all Middle Eastern countries have a deep hate for the USA, but most keep it quiet due to the billions in aid we send. I'm talking Egypt, Pakistan, Qatar, and many others. Saudi tolerates us because we import so much oil and have the military might they can exploit by being our "allies". NO country in that area of the world likes the USA, except forthe cash infusion they enjoy.

Is it just the USA that is wary of the caveman-like mentality in that region? No, Many other countries are very concerned, given the small nuclear presence and the large amount of oil reserves there, not to mention any germ warfare reserve Saddam has stockpiled. GOd knows what else he has in reserve.

So, to summarize what you've just said: "Yeah, well we have these allies, they're on our side, but they're probably actually not and they're gonna turn on us as soon as we beat the Taliban. I mean, why not, it's happened before, right? So that MUST be what's going on this time."

Hmm....I'm sorry if I'm not convinced by that...and what did JackBurton say besides "yeah, nuke em all, wipe the Middle East off the map!"

I'm misinformed? You act like everyone over there just LOVES the US and these mean terrorists killed hundreds of US civilians UNPROVOKED and everyone there is condemning them for there actions. I mean are you that naive? EVERYONE in the Middle East I'm sure was having a good 'ol time watching the towers fall. I'll say again, EVERYONE hates us there and supported the terrorist attack. If you want to go on about that ONE guy caught on camera condemning the attack, go right a head and look for that ONE person. As for me, I'll take the "you gotta break a few eggs to make an omelet" attitude. ;)

I'd like to add, it is not ONE man that is guilty for the attack, the Middle East countries are ALL guilty. Osama didn't plan the attack without the help of top officials helping him move around and supply him with the funds he needed.
