It's pro-American ('we're the best, don't mess with us, you deserved it, Muslim scum' blahblahblah) that created the hatred in the middle east. If you weren't so arrogant towards others, you'd recognise that these countries would've stabilised themselves long ago without your interference. It's by no means the view of every American, nor the view of only Americans, but the majority of comments spout from America.
Death should never be celebrated, he was human. You're digging yourselves into a much deeper hole and you shouldn't be surprised to see more attacks..
I feel for anyone who's lost someone, many American and non- have been lost, but no one celebrated their death; you've no right to disrespect another.
In fairness, I stole the text I wrote above from an email one of my traders sent me. He gets full credit.
Normally I wouldn't be so harsh. Normally I wouldn't have this anger. And normally on 9/11 I would have enjoyed a beautiful day in south Manhattan rather than standing on West Street watching a building fall down.
You see it on TV? You missed the noise and the smells and the sensations and the screams. Some of the screams came from me. And you could turn the channel. There was no off switch on our reality, it just kept going. And it still does.
Would you like to meet my friends from Cantor-Fitzgerald? It'll be a one-sided conversation--they're dead. How about Rick Rescorla? He was security for Morgan Stanley. A wonderful, gentle man--actually from western england. Gave briefings to new nitwit interns. They never found a single bit of him. Nothing. They didn't find anything from a lot of people. God, I could go on for hours.
Isn't it great to sit here and type things and express your armchair interpretation of international politics? Cheers to you. But my arrogance? Countries that would have stabilized themselves? That statement in itself is one of ignorance. Walk with me through the Eastern Kush and see what the people there say of country. Astonishingly beautiful people, but speak of country and they look at you like you're from mars. It is family and tribe and clan. Small, fractured ethnicities that kill each other over a goat right of way.
I carry passports of two countries. I could have three but I'm told it would jeopardize my licenses. I've lived in several countries and have traveled all over the world, and the one thing I do know is that I know very little. I don't know what the answer is, and I am a lot smarter than you.
You don't know me at all. You don't know anything about me. Don't bear witness to that which you have not seen.
Most of my comments here are vapid, empty wit. Because, quite frankly, I think that's what a vapid, shallow person like you deserves. But here I am in full. Today I don't care what you think. Today I don't care what you say. And today I don't care about you.
Is it normal I'm Sooo happy that Osama bin Ladin is dead...

Carolann, the crap that you say amazes me daily.

You are amazing. I dare say that many of us are.. Our abbreviated perceptions of IIN members are sadly lacking and often inaccurate.
