Aggression ? Aggression requires an action not words. I stood strongly against your position or the "way you saw things" calling it an emotional event coupled with nationalistic sentiments and fear mongering. If questioning your position is aggressive then let it be so. Seeing a car crash is emotional. But using that event for a bigger agend is downright shameful.

You called this a terrorist attack a few times in your post. That was what I objected to. This was not a terrorist attack. The more people say it, the more it is reinforced. This act was conventional war for the poor.

These poor defenders of the muslim world want the people of america to hold their leaders accountable. The american people have proven lazy and/or gutless.

If these defenders wanted to directly scare the masses in america they would not have hit the WTCs and certainly not the pentagon. They would have hit sports stadiums. Say a college football stadium on gameday like Michigan, Ohio State, Texas, Tennessee, Notre Dame, Univ. FL, Univ GA, LSU, Penn St., and many more. Sept 11th was during football season. That would have been a logical action to scare the american public. But that is not what happened. Why ?

The american public is not invading muslim countries and stealing from them. The american and british militarys have for 150 years.

I live and work in DC. And I never felt threatened. No one at my place of employment felt threatened. The American way of life was never in danger.

Most people allow themselves to be used as pawns and to be whipped into a frenzy with nationalistic rhetoric. NAZI Hermann Goering said at his trial in Nuremburg:

"Why of course the people don't want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally the common people don't want war: neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."

If I have to defend myself, it is through government accountability with criminal prosecution of those in office.

Leaders like Bush, Cheney, And the Nixon crooks that are behind Bush have put many americans in peril. The sooner the american people realize this, the better.
