The purpose of the 9/11 attacks were twofold:

1. Target and kill Americans, and;
2. Cripple the U.S. economy.

Al Qaeda accomplished both.

I dispute the ridiculous numbers of casualties. Take off a few zeros

Where is your humanity sir?

The survival of US citizens....YES. Of course you have made it painfully obvious that your blind jealousy condones the deaths of innocent Americans.

Defending its citizens, and those who are our allies.

Why just those? Why not all people, or at least innocent people? Why must innocent people in other parts of the world die so that innocent Americans can live?

Pakistan is a US ally. Yet the US has caused "collateral damage" in Pakistan. Would you accept if the British, the Pakistanis or other US allies bombed targets in the US causing "collateral damage"?

Such a scenario is silly, but as you are using an analogy that is void of content, if you are speaking of a David Koresh, Waco, Tx. type scenario, yes there the U.S. govt. should have been charged with murder or at least manslaughter, but he who wins the war, makes the history and that was old news before how barbaric Pres. Clinton's actions were, became common knowledge .

Had Koresh been a truly violent and dangerous force, those that died with him then, would have paid the penalty of sleeping with the devil. Innocence be damned.

If you dispute them, then please provide a reliable link that you do trust.

No, but you do endorse the term, agree with it and seemingly approve of it. It still doesn't change your attitude does it? You still choose to hold no value of these people.

1. An ability to make a point cannot be 'vacuous'. One would never say that somebody has a 'vacuous ability' to make a point. A lack of ability, or similar, perhaps, but there is no such phrase as 'vacuous ability'.

2. '...cannot defend you seeming rhetoric'? Pardon?

If you are to criticise the ability of others in making points, at least do so in a way that makes proper grammatical sense.

Of course a wonderful humane person such as your-self has no problem with these ordinary people doing such things.
How compassionate you are.

And Americans are the epitome of society? A country where KuKluxKlan is protected by police while they're demonstrating hate,racism etc. What a BS attempt to devalue the lives of the innocent that have died.
