I know you were being 'ironic' copying Lugh in his meaningless laughter (lol) at the human tragedies or terrorism and warfare, however IMHO he has a point

Al Qaeda was simply paying America back in its own coin

This thread irritated me due to the fact that Americans tend to have such a biased view of world events and their own God given conception and definition of what constitutes 'terrorism' (ie it is only ever against them and they never commit this particular form of atrocity) that I can see Lughs point.

It is obvious to everyone except the Americocentric that US's involvement/intervention in the Middle East ( Iraq in particular ) constitutes a far greater terrorism ( in their eyes ) than one nasty episode of 'retribution' on the hallowed American soil.

Of course we all abhor the whole event at the WTC and the loss of life, however to say it was

Of The Most Horrifying Event Of The 21'St Century

is inaccurate, parochial, a bit crass and xenophobic in the extreme.

And none of that makes WTC attack not a terrorist attack. Or not not the single largest terrorist attack. By single largest one means most deaths in one incident and not cumulative deaths. Not sure why you are eager to teach me about American involvement in Muslim world. There was a thread I started on Libya intervention that was largely ignored by board Liberals because it didn't fall in line with their cheap political agenda.
