May God, Jehovah, or Allah have mercy on their misguided, destructive, angry souls. May the United States hunt the group responsible down and torture them to within an inch of their freaking lives!
Cut funding for defense? No bloody likely now, you idealistic liberals. Peace on earth means you’re too fucking powerful for little gnats like this to mess with.
God damn, this sort of thing makes me want to go strangle someone!
Lisa, you’re a woman after my own heart.

WHAT IN THE FUCK IS GOING ON IN THE WORLD.
I just feel sick.
BLAME CANADA!!!
I just don’t understand. How can the taking of life be in accordance with anyone’s ideology, terrorist or no?
I pray for the people caught in and affected by the explosions, pray that there are no more incidents, and damn to everlasting hell those responsible.
This is horrible. I cannot imagine what the death toll is. DAMN these fuckers straight to hell.
My thoughts and sorrow are for the innocents killed by these reprehensable acts.
I can’t believe this. It’s like watching a Tom Clancy novel.
THE SOUTHERN BUILDING JUST COLLAPSED! THE SOUTHERN WORLD TRADE BUILDING IS GONE!
And now the second one is gone… Oh My God…
There MUST BE WAR!!!
This cannot be allowed to go unpunished.
if this was a government, break out the nukes.
WHoever is doing this MUST PAY!..
I am going to go be sick now…
Vinnie, I guess you were trying to be funny, but it just isn’t. I can’t speak for all Canadians, of course, but I’m sitting here in Calgary watching all of this, with tears streaming down my face, not believing what my radio was saying when I woke up or what I’m seeing on my television. God be with all of us in the next few days.
I agree if it’s an international group then we need to kick some major ass. But what if it’s an American milita group? What do we do now?
By the way, NO EXPLOSION AT CAPITOL HILL. False story. I think there’s going to be a lot of scares over the next few days.
Not that this isn’t horrible as it is. This must be what it is like to live in Israel.
Terrorist experts are saying there are only a handful of terrorist groups with the infrastructure to carry out such an attack. The Medellin cartel was one and bin laden was another. However the finger is pointing in the direction of the Middle East because it was a suicide bombing and because the attack on the Pentagon. If it were a domestic attack, the target would undoubtedly be a federal agency or perhaps the FBI. If I worked at the CIA, I’d be nervous as hell.
The phrase comes to mind: “You’ve awakened a sleeping giant.” If the people responsible think this is going to further their cause they are sadly, woefully mistaken. Israel is our new, very best friend.
Fuck you.
I suspected you were an asshole. Now you’ve proved it.
Just…
Fuck you, you miserable little prick.
I may be Canadian but I have lots of friends in the United States, and I call tell you that everybody here is in shock and as angered as you are. I am sitting here shaking wondering if my friends will be all right and I know you were trying to be funny, but that was in extremely poor taste Vinnie. Anyone who knows me will realize how unusual this next statement will be but I have to say it… Fuck you!!!
Contrary to the expectations, and possibly the hopes, of many, very little will be done.
I don’t have radio or television where I’m at now. Therefore, it may be that, even as I type, Bush is making a speech describing what he intends to do about these attacks.
Within an hour after doing so, politicians, media and academic pundits, and a few college students with bandanas over the lower parts of their faces will be criticizing and refuting that speech, saying that we should have proof beyond a reasonable doubt before acting against any nation or group, that, instead of replying with violence, we should take of our actions since 20 January 2001, or even since 6 January 1995, and see if they haven’t led to the justified anger of non-Americans, even that this is just and overdue punishment for our oppression of Third World peoples by supplying the Zionist racists, mandating economic injustices through our puppet the World Bank and directly by capitalism, and our making open war on Hussein and continuing to kill the Iraqi people through sanctions. They will by aided and abetted (however much they may sincerely regret it) by the script kiddies and the radical community (I remind the Teeming Thousands that “radical” is an adjective that applies to the right as well as the left), who will be overjoyed at an excuse to attack and bamboozle the government of the United States.
This cause delays and debates as the FBI (whose adroitness in capturing the Unabomber and the ELF I am sure we will all recall) and the CIA sift through the rubble for clues. In the end, a few cruise missiles will be fired, most of which will miss their targets (their targets having moved to the 'burbs after quietly being tipped off by their host governments) and evoke new rounds of criticism and condemnation in this country for having done nothing but kill innocent civilians. A few billions more in aid will be given to the brave Israelis, who are at the sharp end. A lot of Americans will be scared and angry for some time to come.
None of this will change the outcome of the Congressional elections next year, or of the presidential race in 2004. Any candidate who brings up these attacks then will be looked at with the same incomprehension as someone who proposes sending aid to Athens inn its war against Sparta.Contrary to the expectations, and possibly the hopes, of many, very little will be done.

CNN has reported that a radical Jihad group has released a statement, saying the terrorist attacks on the USA today were in response to America’s policies in the Middle East.
Uh, what do you motherfuckers think our policies are going to be now?
But Tom Clancy (who in one of his books predicted something almost identical to this), just made some good statements on CNN. He was talking about how America is founded on the idea of religious tolerance, and its important that we continue to adhere to that, especially now.
“Your most valued principles are the ones you need when times are toughest,” he said, or words to that affect. Well said.
Vinnie - I hope you were just trying to interject a little levity into one of the most horrific days in our history. Here’s a tip: Don’t. You come off as an amazingly unaffected asshole when you do.
Kill them all, kill their families, kill their friends, kill everything holy to them, burn it all to ashes, then burn the ashes.
I just retired two years ago from the US military and I have a great job, fantastic life, great wife and kids. I WILL PUT THAT UNIFORM ON AGAIN AND TAKE GREAT PERSONAL DELIGHT IN ENDING THEIR PATHETIC, SUBHUMAN EXISTENCE. AND I’D DO IT FOR FREE, JUST FOR THE SATISFACTION OF SEEING THESE HUMAN DISEASE PITS EXTERMINATED FROM THE FACE OF THIS EARTH!
Those were innocent human beings at the WTC, they weren’t wearing military uniforms. I never thought I would experience the same shock and horror that my grandparents and parents experienced when Pearl Harbor was attacked. I thought events like that would never be experienced in America. If this is total war, so be it.
Give no quarter. Show no mercy.
And then what? You’ve killed the assholes willing to kill their enemies, and their enemies’ friends and their enemies’ families and everything holy to them… and you’ve become one.
The net number of evil assholes in the world decreases by zero. The number of decent human beings goes down, and the motherfuckers win again.

Sorry, Mils, I’m really freaked out about this, humor is the only way I can get through the morning. 
This is the most suck ass day in our country’s history.
I hear there’s satellite footage of Palestinians dancing the streets, I would say they are the assholes, not me.
If Osama-Bin Laden did this, and Dubya sent a nuke over into Afghanistan, I would not shed a single tear. As a matter of fact, since we can’t seem to find him, I think simply nuking the nearest 50 square miles around him would send a very clear message this is unacceptable. That’s not rhetoric, it’s just that it is the appropriate military reaction for this heinous crime.
We did it to Japan, and they attacked soldiers, not our cities.
War, John, is hell. You would do well to recognize that, or avoid it as best you can.
We ARE in hell. There might be no turning back. If these are foreign terrorists, either we send a FINAL devastating message to the perpetrators, or they will realize they can get away with this.
America will never be the same again, so we may as well salvage what we can by wiping out the enemy.
