I agree 100%.\n\nI was living just outside Philadelphia when 9/11 happened.  I had several friends and family members in NYC - one of which we lost (a 30 year old brother in law who was giving a speech on the top floor of the building at a conference).  It was only a stroke of luck that kept my own husband out of NYC that day.\n\nAt that point we got a glimpse of the kind of horror that the civilians in the middle east have been suffering - explosions in restaurants, schools, hospitals, temples - it is mind numbing.  I caught my heart in my throat for weeks after 9/11 everytime I heard an airplane or helicopter over head (we lived near and Air Force base).  I have little children of my own - and my heart goes out to the families that must live through the violence.\n\nWhat is so upsetting to me about the war in Iraq is that it feels unnecessary to me.  We stormed into Afghanistan, hot on the heels of those who had done us wrong and liberated a community that had been terrorized by the Taliban for years.  We had reacted to tragedy decisively and with class - in myopinion - helping others along the way.  It felt great to be American.\n\nThen this stuff with Iraq -  I mean, lots of people say that Saddam Hussein is a terrible man, and that maybe.  But we don't really have a right to bomb the crap out of another country (out of another group of people) just because their leader doesn't do things as we do, do we?  The war on Terror had become a horror.  I watched, dumbfounded, as we bombed the living daylight out of that civilization.\n\nIf we feel that we have a right to bomb other because we disagree with their leaders, then we are being repaid in kind when they bomb us because they don't agree with ours.

9/11 has given the leaders of the US an excuse to heighten in another era of fear.  Every day they tell us to fear - fear the terrorists, fear the immigrants, fear natural disasters, etc.  I am surrounded by people who are just plain scared, and that is very sad.  We are told that people who want to kill us for being Americans are everywhere, behind every rock. This is just not a happy situation to be in.  The only way to be happy is to realize most of it is not true.  \nAnother thing I've seen is that people are no longer allowed to criticize the government or point out any flaws that might exist without being labled as "anti-American" or "pro-terrorists."  We are being told by Bush and others that if we are not with him, we are against America.  This is just sick and wrong.  I live in the South and if I even mention that there are things I am uncomfortable with in our government, I get all kinds of angry responses.  I have friends who are teachers in the public schools who can't even mention that America has flaws without getting angry responses from parents and administration.  The US is truly worse off after 9/11, but not because of 9/11 itself.  It's because of how our leaders have reacted to 9/11.

Fahrenheit 9/11 is a oscar nominated documentary from Michael Moore and represents his view on what happened to the United States after September 11; and how the Bush Administration allegedly used the tragic event to push forward its agenda for unjust wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.\nIt is very polemic if you like Bush administration you will not like it and the other way round.\nDo not confuse with "Fahrenheit 451", a François Truffaut movie from 1966, based on the book of the same name from Ray Bradbury.

The root cause? 9-11. It angered the most powerful nation in the world.

violence begets violence.\n\nHas there been another 9/11? I guess they are frightened off from our homeland US.\n------------------------------\n\nLOL...oh, you are so naive.\n\nRough estimate is we've killed about 40% of them and they have failed to recuit more.\n------------------------------\nSounds like a rough estimate you pulled from your butthole.\n\nWhat do you suggest we should have done?\n-------------------------------\nlol, that's the governments job...the point is...what you and the gov't are doing...ain't workin. Dude, you are so overly defensive it's not even funny. Bush and his cronies could've tried to stop this. They didn't. They knew OBL and al qaeda were planning something. They did nothing. They let 3,000 americans die with their inaction. To serve their political agendas.

Claim:   Significance can be found in numbers relating to the September 11 terrorist attacks on the U.S.\n\nStatus:   False.\n\nExample:   [Collected via e-mail, 2001]\n\nThe date of the attack: 9/11 - 9 + 1 + 1 = 11\nSeptember 11th is the 254th day of the year: 2 + 5 + 4 = 11\nAfter September 11th there are 111 days left to the end of the year.\n119 is the area code to Iraq/Iran. 1 + 1 + 9 = 11\nTwin Towers — standing side by side, looks like the number 11\nThe first plane to hit the towers was Flight 11\nBut ....There's More.......\nState of New York - The 11th State added to the Union\nNew York City — 11 Letters\nAfghanistan — 11 Letters\nThe Pentagon — 11 Letters\nRamzi Yousef — 11 Letters (convicted of orchestrating the attack on the WTC in 1993)\nFlight 11 — 92 on board - 9 + 2 = 11\nFlight 77 — 65 on board - 6 + 5 = 11\n\nOrigins:   It is but human nature to search for patterns even where none exist. We attempt to impose a gestalt on randomness because chaos is difficult to comprehend, hence our fascination with recurrent themes. We feel something of great import is going on if a particular number comes up time and again, and we are unsettled by\nit.\n\nAnd yet, it's all randomness. That is not to say that at times any number plucked from the air will not appear more often than is the norm because such clumpings are only an expected part of the process of random distribution. Even though a flipped coin comes up heads five hundred times out of a thousand, it does not follow that each 'head' occurrence is immediately followed by a 'tails' — inevitably during a run of a thousand trials, there will be moments wherein the 'tails' tally varies significantly from the 'heads' count. Clumping can and does occur, and random numbers seemingly appear more often at various moments in time. Over the long run, of course, everything evens out. But at the moment when 13 comes up four times in a row on a roulette wheel, or 11 seems to jump off the page at one, it all seems so very eerie.\n\nAnd in the example cited at the head of this page, the repeated occurrence of 11 isn't even really an amazing string of multiple random occurrences but rather a contrived and manufactured method of producing a desired result. One simply chooses only the elements that fit the intended pattern and ignores the rest (e.g., many of the other significant phrases associated with the 9/11 attacks on America, such as "World Trade Center," "American Airlines," "United Airlines," or "Washington, D.C." aren't spelled using eleven letters, so they aren't included), manipulates the elements however necessary (e.g., the digits in "9/11" are added to produce a result of eleven, but the digits in "111" are left alone because the result of a similar addition would be three, not eleven), and glosses over inconvenient details (e.g., neither Iraq nor Iran has 119 as its telephone country code; American Airlines Flight 77 carried 64 people, not 65).\n\nAnother way of looking at the seemingly impressive array of elevens showcased in the widely circulated e-mail is the following, in which the same events are shaken out to produce an equally impressive array of twos, demonstrating that patterns can be concocted for just about any set of elements if one tries hard enough:\nDate of the attack: 11/9; 11 - 9 = 2\nDate of the attack: September 11 = 1 + 1 = 2\nYear of the attack: 2001 = 2 + (0*0*1) = 2 + 0 = 2\nSeptember 11th is the 254th day of the year: 2 + 5 + 4 = 11 = 1 + 1 = 2\nTelephone country code for Afghanistan: 93   9 * 3 = 27; 93 - 27 = 56 = 5 + 6 = 11 = 1 + 1 = 2\nWorld Trade Center: 2 towers\nWorld Trade Center attacked by: 2 airplanes\nEach airplane: 2 wings\nThe first plane to hit the towers was Flight 11: 1 + 1 = 2\nNew York = 2 words\nThe Pentagon = 2 words\nRamzi Yousef = 2 words\nOr, as Internet wag Dave Pawson expressed it:\nOh my God!

Islam is the reason for 9-11. Convert or die. World War III has begun, and it will be a religious war. Who started it? The followers of Islam. They've been at it since Mohammed walked out of the desert (oops! I said his name. I won't be beheaded will I?). \n\nSigned; Infidel for Life.

September 11, 2011\n\nThe September 11, 2001 attacks (often referred to as 9/11 [1]) were a series of coordinated terrorist attacks upon the United States of America carried out on Tuesday, September 11, 2001.\n\nThat morning, nineteen men affiliated with al-Qaeda[2][3] hijacked four commercial passenger jet airliners. The attackers crashed two planes into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, one plane into each tower, causing the collapse of both towers within two hours. Hijackers of the third aircraft crashed that plane into the Pentagon in Arlington County, Virginia. Passengers on the fourth hijacked aircraft attempted to retake control of their plane from the hijackers; that plane crashed into a field in rural Somerset County, Pennsylvania. Approximately 3,000 people died in these terrorist attacks.\n\nThe attacks began with the hijacking of four commercial airliners. With jet fuel capacities of nearly 24,000 U.S. gallons (91,000 litres),[4] each aircraft effectively became a flying incendiary bomb. American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the north side of the north tower of the World Trade Center (WTC) at 8:46:30 a.m. local time (12:46:40 UTC). At 9:02:59 a.m. local time (13:03:11 UTC), United Airlines Flight 175 crashed into the south tower, an event covered live by television broadcasters who had their cameras trained on the North Tower. American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon at 9:37:46 a.m. local time (13:37:46 UTC). The fourth hijacked plane, United Airlines Flight 93, crashed in a field in southwest Pennsylvania, at 10:03:11 a.m. local time (14:03:11 UTC), with parts and debris found up to eight miles away. The crash in Pennsylvania is believed to have resulted from the hijackers either deliberately crashing the aircraft or losing control of it as they fought with the passengers. No one survived in any of the hijacked aircraft.[5]\n\nThe fatalities were in the thousands: 265 on the four planes; 2,595, including 343 New York City firefighters, 23 NYPD police officers, and 37 Port Authority police officers, in the towers and on the ground; and 125 civilians and military personnel at the Pentagon. At least 2,986 people were killed in total. In addition to the 110-floor Twin Towers of the World Trade Center itself, five other buildings at the WTC site, including WTC building 7, and four subway stations were destroyed or badly damaged. In total, on Manhattan Island, 25 buildings were damaged. Communications equipment such as broadcast radio, television and two-way radio antenna towers were damaged beyond repair. In Arlington County, a portion of the Pentagon was severely damaged by fire and one section of the building collapsed.[6]\n\nSome passengers and crew members were able to make phone calls from the hijacked flights. They reported that multiple hijackers were aboard each plane. A total of 19 were later identified by the FBI, four on United 93 and five each on the other three flights.\n\nFor a short period, the precise identity of the 19 hijackers was uncertain. For example, the BBC reported 14 days after the attack that 4 of the 19 were alive based upon the initial identification supplied by the FBI.[7]\n\nThe hijackers reportedly took control of the aircraft by using box-cutter knives to kill flight attendants and at least one pilot or passenger. The 9/11 Commission could only establish that two of the hijackers had recently purchased Leatherman multi-function hand tools,[8] but some form of noxious chemical spray, such as tear gas or pepper spray, was reported to have been used on American 11 and United 175 to keep passengers out of the first-class cabin. Bomb threats were made on three of the aircraft, but not on American 77.

It doesn't sound like he's referring specifically at 9/11 at all. K.S. Mohammed described how terror operatives are instructed to blow up a building to maximize casualties. What makes you think he's talking about -those- buildings and -those- operatives?\n\nI'm totally anti-Bush, but I'm not seeing anything incriminating or suspicious here.

It is not worth it, nor was it ever worth it. We call this the "War on Terror", yet we have yet to go after those responsible for 9/11. All these lives lost, families ruined, money spent and we haven't accomplished a dang thing.

i think greenday is explaining the prestaging of armageddon itself. And how changing a simple name, can convert a whole society.(christmas to holidays). It also explains how the UN is taking away all religions to replace it w/ there own to create a united culture. And the song states that if you dont like this, the government will drop a 2 thousand pound bomb on your a**.
