We've lost touch with the "football" aspect of this thread.

We do have an exception for Vikings fans, it's called being put in a concentration camp with deplorable conditions called Minnesota.

I agree ...

While if I had an opportunity to take out bin laden myself I would of done it. I dont agree with the mass jubilation or what appears to be of his death.

I can understand wanting justice thou from the people whom lost a loved one to him.

the papers and the news here really had a strong portrayal of people in the states with mass gatherings and cheering over his death (reminded me of when in the middle eastern countries like iran they burn the US flag and chant death to americans etc ...)

I dont really know what kind of celebration happened in the states after his death but the papers here in london sure had alot of front page pictures (or near) of people cheering and gathering to celebrate this and IMO this is the wrong image the states wants to have.
While I may or may not agree on the assassination of BL the way the US and the government handeled it is debatable.

As far as this dudes comments ... bah whatever - F$%^ him ... he is just one dude who gives a bleep.

btw did you hear that conspiracy theory about flight 93 - the one that crashed. Conspiracy around it is that it did not crash but got shot down.

Who knows huh ...

Dulak - I wouldn't be surprised if we found out it was shot down. I'm not the resident expert in plane crashes, but from my understanding of science, there was over 8 miles of pieces from that plane. Sounds more like it was shot down than a crash.

Now, I think it's obvious that we go overboard defending the Pres. Have you been anywhere near the Pres when he gives a speech? It becomes a police state. There are snipers everywhere. Traffic is blocked off. I avoid town when the Pres is around.

Let's not forget 93 was headed towards the capital. You got a lot of people who will do any means necessary to defend the Pres, and that includes shooting down a plane full of innocent people.

Maybe the plane was shot down. I doubt we will never know. I can see why they had to do it, if it WAS shot down.
Had it gone on to the capital, it would have killed who knows how many people on the ground, as well as the innocent people on the plane. At that point, we KNEW it was going to crash either way. Either at the capital, or in an open field. It was not going to "land" anywhere.
So if people could be saved by doing it, i can see why it's possible it was taken down.
It's a sad piece of our history now.
But i do NOT believe our government had anything to do with the twin towers coming down. To me, it's easy to see how a plane slamming into them and the fire afterwards would bring them down. The weight of the upper floors above the damage, and the collapse of the floors where the planes hit would then bring it all straight down, just as we all saw.
I can't understand how some think that's not possible. That much weight coming down on the rest of the structure would do it.
