was the pentagon 9/11 attack justified? - terrorism or guerr

[raisedfist69]

i understand that terrorism is attacking innocent people and guerrilla warfare is basically the same, only with military targets or whatever qualifys as a justifiable attack. so, what was the pentagon attack on september 11?

[Nateddi]

its just another terror attack. Its not strategic warfare, and innocent civilians were inside. I understand where they are coming from, but they were probably aiming for the white house but settled for the pentagon. Its the same group that did the WTC attacks, so I say no, its not justified.

[raisedfist69]

what exactly qualifies a military target? Then, are the only military targets bases?

[Derar]

The pentagon attack is justified ....... its a goddamn military target .... and the ppl inside were not innocent , they r the ones that fuck with the 3rd world countries , fuck with the ppl ... and just anything that opposes the American Imperialism .

[Hayduke]

Flying into a Killers house isnt more than justice........
But off topic...... I only saw one video of the pentagon...
all the others were bout the WTC
was it cause none cared bout it or did the gonverment
kept it silent ?

[revolutionary spirit]

what about the inocent civilans inside the plane that was used to crash into the Pentagon

[Hayduke]

the same thing goes for the passengers in the wtc plane...didnt hear a thing bout them...only thing I heard was We have to hunt this terrorist done.... But then again what do you excpect from a imperial moron like bush ?

[BOZG]

I think that the attacks on the Pentagon were justified as the Pentagon has been the root of all American military suppression across the world.

I think that there were more pictures of the Pentagon attacks released today but what's weird about them is that the date on them says September 12th 5:37pm. If these pictures were taken from security cameras in the Department of Defence wouldn't they be have to be the exact date and time if they were monitoring such an important building?

[Anonymous]

the innocents..........faith of allah, thats what bin said
lol

[Rosa]

As I've heard, there was trhird airplane, going to crush the white house...and americans navigated it to crush outside Wash., for sake of "such an important national symbol" as White house is. Over 30 innocents died. ...Well, they would die anyway, or..?

[Bakunjin]

Why do you always say that only attacking millitary targets is not terrorism? And those politicians and others which aren't holding a gun, just ordering young soldiers to kill other people? Are they innocent?

[Moskitto]

There was annother plane (4th one) which looking at phone calls. They reckon that the crew overpowered the hijackers, got to the cockpit but couldn't keep control of the plane so crashed it in a field and killed themselves but saved those who might have been the target.

[Derar]

As said , the 4th plane was going to the white house , so who did they save ?! they saved Bush !!

Fuckin idiots .

[MJM]

Seriously now the white house wasn't a target, the propaganda value if the white house was hit would be beyond imagination(I'm talking Nukeable quantities here).
Two things that were not targets- the white house and the statue of liberty.
The pentagon was a valid military target.
The way Bush and the US measures lifes value the people were only collatoral damage weren't they?

[peaccenicked]

The attack on 9/11 was unprecedented. It was not a revolutionary attack, it is doubtful that it was a terrorist
attack from a group outside the US,
All of the evidence is pointing to an inside job.
Whose interest benefited.
Bush has found a means to expand imperialist aims.
Isreal has stepped up its occupation of Palestine.
India has strengthed its claims on Kashmir.
Even if Al Qaida was involved, it is questionable that such an organisation did it without some parts of some of these States knowing.
Such a large operation, of such an unprecedented nature would leave a signature of some sort about it and the evidence against Bin Laden produced so far has been circumstantial and faked.

[MJM]

I agree peace, there is really no evidence to support the bin laden theory.

[Derar]

I totally agree ...... the US government and their allies got benefited from the 9-11 attacks ........ it was their winning lottery ticket .

[I Will Deny You]

In my ever-humble opinion, the attack on the Pentagon was not justified whatsoever. As already mentioned, the innocent civilians on the airplane died. Also, the Pentagon was a military target but the attack was not strategic. It would take the world's biggest idiot to say that military activity has decreased since 9/11. If we were actually at war with Afghanistan, the Taliban or Al Qaeda and one, two or all of them attacked the Pentagon to give themselves an advantage in the war, then the attack would be justified. But when it involved killing civilians, we're not at war and the areas destroyed weren't vital to the military's operation anyway, it was not justified.

[revolutionary spirit]

aye

I don't think they would have known the White House was the target though. I don't know much about American geography, but why did it crash in Pensylvania?

[peaccenicked]

The attack is unjustifiable but there is no real evidence that Bin Laden was involved.

[Derar]

I dont know why it crashed in pensylvania , im not good either in american geography .......

but im only pissed that it didnt crash in bush's ass .... These ppl died in vain .

[I Will Deny You]

Quote: from Derar on 7:50 pm on Mar. 9, 2002
but im only pissed that it didnt crash in bush's ass .... These ppl died in vain .Bush wasn't anywhere close to the White House on September 11th. The plane was probably headed for the White House or some other symbolic location in Northwest DC, or Camp David (which, for those who don't know much about American geography, is in Maryland and is not too far from the White House). There is a concensus that the fourth plane was not headed for the elementary school where Bush was scheduled to read to minority children, hundreds of miles away from DC, Maryland and Pennsylvania.

And how could those people not have died in vain? If Bush died, Cheney would take over for him . . . there would have been no changes in American policy, but you can bet that money originally set aside for welfare or social security would go towards a HUGE funeral for Bush and a few statues or memorials. Bush, Cheney, Powell, Ashcroft and every other swinging dick in the Bush Administration can be killed off, but you can bet that the Undersecretary of the Southwestern Bureau of Agriculture would be appointed president, and continue to love NAFTA and hate Kyoto. So maybe I misunderstood, but I'd like to remind you that no matter where that plane would have landed, those people would have died in vain.

[El Commandante]

Even if the fourth plane had of hit the white house, it wouldn't have killed Bush, he was in a school in Florida at the time. Then straight after the second plane hit the WTC he was rushed to a nuclear bomb proof bunker.

Theoriststhink that the fourth plane was going to be used to crash into one of the many nuclear power plants in the area to set of a chain reaction. It would have been larger then anything ever seen and would have done untold damage to the area. I think that is what they were aiming for, the White House would have been of no value to them, they had already hit a symbolic target, that being the WTC.

[Lefty]

dont condone any killing, of any civilians, EVER. If you do, you are wrong. I dont care, but that is murder, and nothing justifies that. My definition of a military target is pretty broad, so the attack on the white house might have been justified if civilians were not present (which they were) and the attack on the pentagon is the same. Innocent people died, and that shouldnt happen. But on all of this conspiracy theory stuff going on about an inside job, i think that might be a little farfetched. But hey, it is the U.S. I wouldnt put it past them.

[BOZG]

September 11th was the greatest thing that could have ever happened to George W Bush. Apart from the India and Israel points, Bush is now guaranteed a second term because he's viewed a hero (what a joke), he can now suspend the Bill of Rights, he can tap any home he likes, deport and indefinately hold no-US Citizens and the list goes on.

This is heaven for G Dub

[Lefty]

why does bush want that? Why are people so evil? the world is confuzzling

[MJM]

Power and money is the reason why politicians do everything.
I don't think people are evil it's only the 1% that run the world that are.

[WUOrevolt]

the attacks werent justified. Even though the pentagon was the root of all american military oppression they shouldn't be attacked. Eye for an eye and the whole world would be blind.

[Urban Rubble]

Why did you dig up this old ass topic ?

Oh well, the attacks weren't justified, sure we've been screwing their homeland up, that still doesn't justify hijacking a plane and killing 5000 people.

[Blasphemy]

The 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were, for now at least, a climax of a campaign lead by Bin Laden not against the oppressive American government, not against the exploitation of third-world countries, but against the people of the western world and against the "infidels" of Europe and America. The war that Bin Laden waged is a religious one, and nothing else. He wishes to make Islam the dominante religioun, and put an end to the existence of any other world religioun. How can we even think about supporting a religious war - Jihad - waged against the people of the western world? The world is not black and white. Bush is, of course, the "bad guy", but that doesn't make the people who fight against him the "good guys". The war between the American-lead western world and the Islamic eastern world is a war between two evils. Imperialist American on one end, and Islamic extremeists on the other end. In the middle, we have the people. The people of Baghdad, the people of New York City, the people of Kabul and the people of Tel Aviv. These people are the ones suffering from the wars waged by the imperialists and the fundementalists. It is the job of the Communists to protect the people, to fight for the people. Supporting terrorist attacks, whether they target civilians or not, is acting against the people. How have the people of Kabul benefited from the 9/11 attacks? How have the people of Baghdad? They haven't. It only increased their suffering.
