¿ªÔÆÌåÓýAll some interesting points. ? The video is spot on.? I can only imagine what is going to happen when the panacea of the masses ¨C God theory ?¨C is debunked. ? However, this is still very different: this happened on our soil, was carefully premeditated ?and was intentionally inflicted on innocent civilians.? I can¡¯t comment on what all was going on with the Lusitania BUT that was during a world war.? Wrong place, wrong time?? Maybe. ? As for the quick disposal of remains, that simply was not possible with the size of the world trade center buildings had it even been desired.? It seems to me the 24 hr turn-around is one of the tenets of the Jewish philosophy, in particular . Possibly others as well.? For Christians, it is generally 72 hrs. although that was certainly not possible in this case either.? ? The people working in the Pentagon did return to work the very next day although it seems to me it may have taken a year or some large part of a year to restore that building. ? ? ? From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of robfrankel ? Actually, the?Lusitania was just one of many incidents in which German torpedoes sank civilian ships with no warning, so I'm going to disagree with you on that one.? As for "endless wars," that only started recently, when various administrations somehow decided that war is about winning, and winning quickly.? The last president to engage correctly was George Herbert Walker Bush, who despite prodding by his cohorts, merely drove Saddam Hussein back into his corner.? The first Gulf War was short and decisive. I'm no conspiracy theorist, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that when wars are prolonged with no decisive action/strategy, it's the military suppliers who benefit. Honoring our dead is popular across many cultures.? The truth is, harsh as it sounds, the first responders acted with honor.? Everyone else was just a victim.? In Israel, when a terrorist succeeds in blowing up a restaurant or caf¨¦, the place is cleaned up and restored, usually within 24 hours.? They know that prolonging the misfortune is a victory for their enemy, so they dispose of the occurrence in order to show strength and endurance. We just sit in front of our screens and mope.
