Can we please get back to the topic at hand? There are 5 young lives gone. This is tragic. All this violence is getting worse and worse. I always said I would never have a gun in my home with a child there, but I''m starting to consider letting my husband get one. Let''s give these young people the benefit of doubt, let''s believe that they were innocent of wrong-doing. Someone decided that they needed to do. The criminal or criminals responsible need to be found and justice needs to be served.

Now, the main reason I even got on here, was to address something that has offended me greatly. Someone was trying to say that welfare=criminal. This is NOT true! My mother raised myself and my 21 yr old sister on welfare. She had several different jobs, but being a single mom with two young girls was difficult and she couldn''t always work. She did her best to raise us right, and I think she did a terrific job. Not everyone on welfare is a criminal, or lazy, or whatever else. I really don''t understand why some of the people on here are equating welfare with criminal actions. Not all criminals are on welfare, and not welfare recipiants are criminals. A lot of them are like my mom, strong willed people that life has throughly messed with, that just need a little bit of help to get through.

As for the gangbangers and the real criminals, something DOES need to be done, and I''m not even going to try to suggest something, because I will admit that I am not qualified to do that.

USBrit--And, of course, please ignore the comments made by the head of one of my own military alma maters, the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, that HE TRAINED SOME OF THE HIJACKERS!! He was, of course, threatened with action under the UCMJ for his comments about our Fearless Leader...Just ignore that fact...it will go away as long as you pay strict attention to the Official Fable. We''ll just ignore the CIA connected flight schools in Florida and the addresses on some of the ''hijackers'' IDs that were on military posts in the US..."Inconvenient facts are not facts at all!" the Queen of Hearts might have said to Alice if the book were a bit longer...

Prinzowhales - are you off the lithium again. Your posts are sinking further and further into conspiracy theory BS. Try to rejoin the world.

USBRIT--And, the only pictures of the hijackers are those of Atta and friend at the Bangor airport catching a connector...The alleged Arabs were on NONE of the passenger manifests and the official coroner''s report on those killed on Flight 77, shows no unaccounted for remains and only one, infant unaccounted for...Again, no Arabs.

The FBI has, in the Moussaoui trial, maintained that the in air phone calls to the Solicitor General of the United States DID NOT HAPPEN!! They reported that there was only one call made and it failed to connect.

The seven living hijackers preclude their having been on the planes involved...unless you give more credence to the power of Allah than I do. The fact that the FBI has not accused OBL and does not want him for 9-11...must be indicative of its ''case'' against him.

USBrit--Flight instructors who dealt with the alleged fliers wouldn''t even let them rent a single engine plane. CBS News reported that on September 10, 2001, that OBL was receiving treatment in a Pakistani military hospital.

So NORAD was not shut down?--they are just too fracking incompetent to intercept four jetliners over two prime targets in the ''Homeland''? And the excercises that drew fighters off to far away places...the interceptors traveling at half throttle...And they don''t just take off and hunt their targets...they are directed to them. In Florida some time before 9-11, the plane of Payne Stewart was intercpeted within minutes of loss of radio contact and followed to its eventual crash site...

If guns kill people...why are Swiss automatic weapons not out and about aerating the Swiss? Perhaps some of these weapons can be flown in to give counseling to their violent and murderous brothers in America.

Because guns in Switzerland are owned by a "well regulated militia."

USBrit--The only response some people have to unpalatable facts is to drop them in the "conspiracy theory" file, ....

I know this is the wrong story but I just gotta do this;

"19 Arabs who could not fly airliners" - actually it''s pretty easy if you don''t have to take off or land.
"managed by a fellow in renal failure in a cave in Afghanistan" - actually he was free in the Taliban society, has lots of experience in mission control and relatively limitless funds.
"hijacked four planes" - not too difficult in the pre 9/11 world.
"shut down NORAD" - did not happen.
"craftily evaded fighters" - even if they were spotted by fighters, they were passenger aircraft over populated areas - do you really think they''d have been given the OK to shoot?
"slam into the WTC, the Pentagon and the ground" - the ground wasn''t part of the plan, the others - the WTC was easy - a short-sighted monkey could see them. The Pentagon did require some fancy flying but again nt too difficult.
I might have made the "not realistic" pile of movie scripts pre 9/11 - but the story hangs together post.

Illegal immigration must be stopped by all available means. With that said, those that are here who work and are law abiding, are hard working folks. Our corrupt politicians are doing nothing to bring this situation to a reasonable conclusion so that those who want to come to the USA to work and are law abiding have the opportunity within established rules.
