Hee hee! You're so cute when you make funnies of my name.
My goal isn't to be useful. It's intelligent discussion. You're trying, and I'm not personally attacking you for that. You, on the other hand, are now making an effort to discredit me. That's okay too - I expect it from time to time. Unfortunately, you're not going to discourage me.
I know for a fact that most African American citizens would be offended by being called "nigger". I have the good sense to address my African American <b>friends</b> (not acquaintances - the difference is important) by their names. Now, this doesn't change the fact that their skin is brown, the same as mine is pale. My Asian American <b>friends</b> (not acquaintances - the difference is important) are also addressed by their names, except for some lovingly placed race jokes, such as "mutt" and "slitty eyed". Know what they do when I bring that up? Laugh. Hmmmm.
Furthermore, I never called anyone "nigger". I even stated pretty clearly that I don't condone the usage of the word in a derogatory sense, but only while quoting. What say you now?

Well, then you're mostly ignorant of the investigation into their motives. They knew that what they were doing was going to wreak financial havoc. It was very much a part of their plan.

And I'm glad your impressed at the mass destruction these people caused. If building tumbling and people dying impress you, feel free to stand closer next time for a better look

Awww, now you want me dead. I love you too!
Saying that the September 11 attacks were not well executed is denial. Any level headed, rational, non-emotional thinking person will tell you that they were very successful. That doesn't mean that I agree with them, that I think they should have happened, or that I'm glad that Khang Nguyen, my co-worker, died in the Pentagon as he did. If you stand back and look at the attack from a non-emotional and rational point, it's very easy to see that these were well planned and exceptionally well executed.

Their task is done. 3,000 people are dead. Nothing we do is going to bring that back.
Will we win the war? Yes. Absolutely. And, incidentally, it's something that I support. But that doesn't change the fact that al Qaeda's first blow was a very successful one.
