I want to make one thing clear that 9/11 attacks hurt us as much as you. Besides our sorrow for the innocent civilians, we as a country lost economically and socially very much after these attacks. İf they attack today, again we will lose. İt is still important for us to see USA a strong and stable super world power because we are close to be a bancrupted country without much natural resourses resembling Argentina very dependent on worldbank loans.So dont be offended by my words. We are not enemies,but bitter talking old allies.

I understand your anger when I say that who has done 9/11 attacks are suspec (I have stated this many times before) since this hurts you very much. I dont mean that Mr Bush has planned it, but on the other hand I dont believe that all these things are like the way they look. I dont believe that bunch of Arab terrorists can succeed to do such technical and diffucult operations. Especially hitting Pentagon such a way cant be possible. After 9/11, no other attacks of that magnitude was done except few perverts who continue to blew themselves up. İslam does have a violent terrorist fraction in it.The evil leaders can find few criminals to put few bombs around. But they are marginals and do not have much power,or vision of such a big project like islimizing the world. I mean how can you islamize the world? By randomly bombing around? So who organised 9/11 which changed the history of world??maybe some powers who wants the clashes of civilizations or some powers who wants to see USA invasions in the petroleum fields. I dont know.

To see islam but nothing else as a threat for the world peace is a very simplistic and wrong world view. İt is also wrong to choose words from Kuran and to ask about their logic. Are you planning to become a muslim? İf so you can read Ms.Shazia Hanım's answers in the previous posts. İf you are trying to prove islams violence ,try to think this way.'1,5 billion people cant be terrorists so there is something that they know about it and ı cant accuse this amount of people. 'İf anybody in anywhere is commiting a crime,or limiting others lifes claiming that this is his or her belief they must be punished. This must be enough for you.You dont need to be an expert in İslam. Besides, I advise you to check bible and the history of christianity. We know also the past of your religion very well.

My opinions can't change. 100 thousand ırakis are dead today. İsnt that enough? USA's invasion of Irak is an extreme immoral action and that Mr Bush is not a not qualified president .He is the main reason of the unstabilities in the world and muslim hatred in the west. Also I think USA must not- as you call- free more countries in the world using the same methods in Irak and taking decesions only by itself.
