Who are the victims of racism? The 7000 people who died in this AMERICAN TRAGEDY!! People from all walks of life, American and Non Amercian alike.

I am sure your tune would change if one of the dead was someone you knew and loved dearly. How dare you protest against the most heinous act ever against are home land. If we do not strike back, we will be viewed as COWARDS and PUSHOVERS!!

What should we do? Let these animals scare us and run wild in our streets? If you feel that way, maybe you should move to Afghanistan!!

UNITED WE STAND!!!

It is easy to blame America for everything. This attack killed 7,000 innocent people who's biggest mistake was going to work. Shame on those who hide from the truth! America was attacked because it has the courage to stand up to animals like Osama and Sadam. Those that protest our actions are traitors plain and simple. This is not Vietnam we were attacked by animals that do not agree with our way of life. The sick part is those that protest would have no voice in the groups they protest in behalf of. Try and protest in Iraq they would kill you!!! Some people in this country will never learn. Maybe they should spend a week leaving under the thumb of the taliban

Whoa now.
It's very easy to call people who do awful things to other people "animals", and it's very easy to assume that because they dislike us, they must be fundamentally different from us, opposed totally and completely to our way of life. This is not to say that we are the same as Islamic fundamentalists, no way! Nevertheless, we must be able to see how easily vilified Americans are to others around the world, when all they see of us are the bullets and bombs we send to kill them. (i.e. the U.S.-financed atrocities in places like Turkey, Saudi Arabia and the U.A.E., U.S.-trained militias slaughtering Lebanese refugee camps, and the financed abuses all over Central America.) We definitely need to bring Osama Bin Laden to justice, but we also need to put some justice into our foreign policy to prevent some justified anti-U.S. sentiment from balooning into terrorism through the catalyst of religious extremism. Let's have less talk about other people as animals, less talk of outrage over only American deaths, and more outrage about the deaths of innocent people all over the world. Together we can make it so that happenings like September 11th will never be repeated, not just to Americans or Westerners or the "civilized" countries, but to any innocent civilians in any country, Third or First World.
