Also, before Policically Incorrect was cancelled, Bill Maher said it right: "Who is more of a coward? The person who takes the knife, hijacks a plane, and takes his own life by crashing it into a building? Or the guy sitting on the boat in the middle of the ocean who launches a cruise missile?"

I think thats where you, yourself, lost some credibility.

Flying a civilian plane into a civilian building to specifically target civilians is a lot different than launching a military cruise missile from a military boat at a military target.

Attacking another human being for a purpose is the same no matter how you slice it.

Thanks for supporting terrorism you asshole. A friend of mine almost died in the WTC on 9/11, I'd like to punch you in the face. Flying a plane into a fucking building and killing hundreds of women and children is a tad different than launching cruise missiles at Iraqi T-62 tanks.

This struck me as funny:

"A dictatorship would be a heck of a lot easier" - President George W. Bush
AND
"There ought to be limits on freedom" - President George W. Bush.

These were OBVIOUSLY taken out of context. I'd ask you if you had the full context, but you obviously don't because he was either joking or was completely misquoted by a liberal writer.

Amazing you can call yourself an American. I'd like to see how long you would last in any division of our Armed Forces. Let's put you in a room all by yourself with just the five members of my family who are in the Army and Marines. I bet anything you'll come out singing a different tune, and there won't even be a scratch on you.

I did have a friend that died in that attack. Him and his brother. Both were my friends. So who are you to pass judgement on me and how can you say I support terrorism?

How is the act less cowardly to take your own life while completing a mission than to sit and fire a missle at a tank? I doubt you'd have the determination of courage to do that. Don't get me wrong, I dont condone it and I think it was horrible and I think Bin Laden should be captured. If you only look at it from your own point of view, then you only get half the story. Theres 2 sides to every coin. I think I'm being the most open minded about it considering I actually did loose someone, unlike you.

How can you call yourself an American when I'm the one using my freedom of speech to say whats on my mind? If you dont like that freedom and you dont want me to say what I want, then you're the one destroying the country. I have the upmost respect for the armed forces. My ex roommate is graduating boot camp from Parris Island (thats the USMC for you pussies in the other branches) and I'm so damn proud of him. I don't have any respect, however, for the shitheads that send them to fight wars that we have no business being in. So whos the real American now? The one who says what he wants? Or the moron that tries to condemn him for that action?

No one is condemming you for using your freedom of speech. You are, however, talking nonsense. If you are going to speak your opinions, have some idea as to what you are talking about. I have no problem with people who don't agree with me. I do have a problem when their opinions aren't based on fact or truth. Just some uneducated rambling.
