Did you lose anyone in 9/11? Didnt think so. *******

What Akira meant to say was:

Considering Bush did officially wage war on Iraq which was completely unrelated to 9/11 in a quest to find weapons of destruction that we still have yet to find while troops go out there and do a whole lot of nothing like they have been for quite a few years now while supporters of the war gradually decrease. Terrorists aren't always what stereotypes present. You don't have to plant a bomb and blow up a bunch of people to be a terrorist. Hell, Charles Manson just sent other people to do his bidding. Oddly enough, Bush is sending people all over the place to do his bidding. And to think that all of this is stemming only from different religious beliefs is just too much of a jump. Of course religion has its name in there, but what's to gain by annhillating the other religions? Is there enough to gain from that alone to spend all this money on destroying them? There would have to be something in return to make up for the difference. And calling them sick is just assuming that they're all irrational war mongers that have no feelings or beliefs. I'm sure they believe in what they're doing just as much as you believe in what you said above so they're hardly sick and crazed. Hell, they'd actually have to be intelligent to some degree to be able to hijack planes and fly them over various states. A job like that isn't something you hand over to crazed war mongers.

Now, here's my disclaimer. I'm not supporting the people over seas for what they did here. In my book that's a cardinal sin. But I'm not supporting Bush's actions any more or less. I think it's a disgusting power struggle and nothing more.
