- bethehammer, on 10/10/2007, -5/+91Another 9/11 attack to bring us together - how stupid can you be. Our country can be brought together by a government that does something other than pad their pockets and blow our tax revenue like they drunken frat boys with a new credit card. All our country needs is a President who remembers the Constitution, instead of destroying it, and a Congress who starts to bring this country back our of the pit it has fallen in to. Seriously people, another terrorist attack and our Government will bring us together - under total enslavement!!!
Just think - Patriot Act 2.0 - KMye, on 10/10/2007, -11/+90This guy should lose his job - not for his political views, but for his outright stupidity.
- MiltonWaddams, on 10/10/2007, -7/+85What kind of editor puts this dreck into print? Reading this, his reasoning is that it will bring us all together politically. When did disagreeing about politics become such a bad thing?
- acidbath123, on 10/10/2007, -3/+70The sad thing is he will probably get what he's wishing for.
- johndoenumber2, on 10/10/2007, -9/+72This just burns the crap out of me. It has been well established that Iraq had no role in 911 but these Neo-Cons want to keep hammering this lie home like if they keep repeating it that people will think it it true. Mitt Romney is a good example. He I think really believes this crap. If not he certainly is one of the dupes that thinks this tactic will work if they keep trying to sell it. Our biggest threat is staying in the Middle East and keep whacking the hornets nest.
- chicoer2001, on 10/10/2007, -4/+58We dont need another 9/11, we need another president.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+39Uhhh yeah, because we've been so united since 9-11-01.
Right wing nuts should talk as often as possible. Nothing shows the rest of us how ***** insane they are like letting them rattle on. - penteplayer, on 10/10/2007, -3/+32Problem, Reaction, Solution:
Problem-
James Woolsey: "I think the threat of a serious attack in the next few months is very real," Woolsey said. A terrorist strike with a dirty bomb or with biological weapons was "a real possibility." Newsmax interview- Former CIA Director: Terrorist Strike Within U.S. Real Threat August 7th, 2007
Robert Mueller- “al Qaeda's paramount goal is clear: to detonate a nuclear device that would kill hundreds of thousands of Americans.” NewsMax interview FBI's Mueller: Bin Laden Wants to Strike U.S. Cities With Nuclear Weapons May 15, 2007
Michael Chertoff- "I believe we are entering a period this summer of increased risk" Chertoff's gut senses terror risk July 11, 2007
Reaction-
"Americans will not take the terrorist threat seriously unless there is another major attack on American shores." Pam Meister, Waiting for the Other Shoe to Drop
"America's fabric is pulling apart like a cheap sweater.
What would sew us back together?
Another 9/11 attack.
The Golden Gate Bridge. Mount Rushmore. Chicago's Wrigley Field. The Philadelphia subway system. The U.S. is a target-rich environment for al Qaeda.
Is there any doubt they are planning to hit us again?
If it is to be, then let it be. It will take another attack on the homeland to quell the chattering of chipmunks and to restore America's righteous rage and singular purpose to prevail." Stu Bykofsky
Solution- 4th Reich NWO fascism? - mortigon, on 10/10/2007, -4/+30If there happens to be another tragedy like the attack on 9/11, I really hope this guy is one of the victims.
- profOblivion, on 10/10/2007, -0/+24You know what another major terrorist attack would do? It would galvanize the country, alright, but not the way Bykofsky suggests. I think it would make people realize that the occupation of Iraq, the threats against Iran, etc., have indeed put the US more, not less, at risk. It would happen and anyone with half a brain would (hopefully) wake up and say: You said that we would be safer. You said that this was necessary to stop terrorism in its tracks. You said that all this unconstitutional surveillance and detainment was necessary to ensure our safety. And now we see that it hasn't done a damn thing.
- NikoKun, on 10/10/2007, -4/+27our enemy is people like this guy... -_-
- roberto_deneero, on 10/10/2007, -4/+26All we need to see is Bush and Cheney's faces to remind us of who the enemy is.
- LecherousVenom, on 10/10/2007, -1/+22I am Stu's enemy.
- Toshibi, on 10/10/2007, -1/+21Iraq was in the works for a long time. Daddy Bush, Clinton, and Bush the Dumber...9/11 was just a good rallying cry to get the general population to join in (No, I'm not saying that 9/11 was done for the sake of the Iraq invasion. I'm saying that the Government used it for it's own means).
- SeethisPass, on 10/10/2007, -16/+36The enemy is in Washington not on foreign soil.
Terrorism has been invented. Here's how you can know .
In the late 1970's the military changed from forest cammo colors, to desert cammo, telegraphing their next battlefield before even the first hint of "terrorism".
Since then they have cultivated the term and it's acting out for public consumption.
Terrorism emminates from the professional terrorists who run America.
They terrorize you on a daily basis with a full array of professional tricks. - mr.hostility, on 10/10/2007, -0/+20E-mail stubyko@phillynews.com or call 215-854-5977
Maybe he needs to hear how much everyone loves him. - Schmidtopolis, on 10/10/2007, -1/+18Exactly. One of his points is that America is divided. Isn't that Democracy? Differing opinions, and the ability to voice ones dissent. Seems like since 9/11, more people willingly want to live in a Dictatorship. Fear breeds this sort of thinking, and in the years since 9/11, some have been getting a little less scared, which scares those who spread the fear. Seems the author likes the idea of spreading fear, so how about making him a corespondent in Iraq. Put him in the middle of the *****, and let him write about fear from there. Fear breeds hate, and the only people we have been fearing for the past 4 years is the government. So who do we hate?
- dalexandruz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+17if another 9/11 happens pick up arms and remove all these idiots from government. It's we the ppl who also should be blamed for the ***** this government caused through out the world since we dont do *****.
- cateran, on 10/10/2007, -2/+18Yes, we need more terror in our lives so we can be complete. A few more people jumping from burning buildings. Corpses fried to the bone. Children screaming, widows wailing. Bomb a country or two in revenge. It will bring us all together...happy happy happy.
- psion01, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16He is! Another 9/11 will show the American people that the problem isn't Al-Queda or the Taliban or even Old Joe Stalin. It's bloated, centralized authority; a federal bureaucracy that has latched its vampiric teeth firmly onto the jugular vein of its citizens' hard-earned money and liberty. It isn't just Bush ... the problem has been festering for decades ... but the latest administration has proven that no government should be entrusted with too much power. Another 9/11 would push this country into a totalitarian regime from which the only escape would be armed insurrection in the purest Jeffersonian ideal. Bring it on, Brykofsky.
- BarneyF, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16He wants us to stop doubting our President and be obedient. He doesn't care how many lives it would cost to attain this goal.
Guess why there haven't been any more attacks in America. There aren't really that many people seriously interested in attacking us. Drunk driving is a MUCH bigger threat.
All this fear mongering and hyping shadowy terrorist organisations is a plot against our freedom. - Maddoktor2, on 10/10/2007, -3/+19Trust me, I have no problem at all remembering who the enemy is every time one of these neocon wackjobs speaks up.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -4/+19FOXIFIED ZOMBIE NUTJOB IDIOT ALERT!
the same brainwashed wackjob inbred redneck fools who still think Saddam had WMDs, attacked us on 911 and have picture of Bush on their nightstand are comin' out of the woodwork!! - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+18I remember 9-11. That was the day of the single worst failure to defend the nation ever. That was the day not one single Iraqi attacked the USA. That was the day that we found out that spending hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars on the US military was wasted.
I remember. - ScoobyG, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14I love that he thinks whether we're safer today, or if we're losing civil liberties, are "squabbles."
- manicallday, on 10/10/2007, -2/+16I think that a Marine finding Osama would cheer me up more than another 9-11.
- Flower2112, on 10/10/2007, -2/+16Yeah because the neocons have been doing such a good job. How many Iraqis dead? How long did Baghdad go without water in triple digit heat? How long has it been since they had enough power without having to implement rolling blackouts? Abu Ghraib? The Salt Pit? Guantanamo?
With the way Bush and Co. have been burning karma we'll be lucky to just have to deal with a dirty bomb. - greeneyedmama, on 10/10/2007, -2/+15My dad was in the Army for 20 years. From the late 70s to the 90s. He wore forest green cammo everyday. WTF?
- HippyInASuit, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14I'm very aware of who our enemy is when the leaders of our country wish for more terrorist attacks against it's own people for their personal political gain.
- razor150, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13Consider the guys wants another 3000 people dead my response to him as well is "You first."
- kjr07, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13This guy's reasoning is hilarious.
In order to better defend ourselves against terrorism... there needs to be another terrorist attack. - CiXeL, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13another 9/11 will clearly mean revolution against the US government.
if it happens expect the american people to storm the white house.
i honestly think that would be the final straw for people.
right now there are many many desperate people in parts of the country like michigan who don't have much left to lose. it wouldnt surprise me at all if they were getting organized. - cateran, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13Sweetie, this president left our borders open for terrorists to come in, and then turned around to sell 20 of our seaports to United Arab Emirates. All after 9/11! Bush is not worried about the terrorists here, he is only worried about the oil over there. 200,000 missing U.S. weapons, 380,000 tons of missing U.S. explosives, 12 billion dollars of missing taxpayer money, 300,000 barrels of missing oil PER DAY...all in Iraq. Wake up to the nightmare. You have a dirty rotten government that is selling us down the river in the name of war, arms, oil, drugs and the almighty dollar.
- BarneyF, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12Recruitment is down, nobody seems to want to fight this stupid war. I don't see the neocons rushing to fill the gaps. If this guy is so upset, why doesn't he join the fight?
He'd rather see an unspecified number of innocent compatriots get killed so the government can dupe more poor people into killing themselves to support...what exactly? A government that dupes poor people to kill other poor people somewhere a long way away. - chris9902, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12lets hope the plane hits his house. (yeah that was sick but you get the point)
- k0sty, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13this guy is scum. i agree that there is a lot of partisanship and lack of cooperation in our political life but there is no reason for why innocent people should have to be hurt in order for people to realize that they have to get along. in my opinion advocating such violence is always wrong.
- mrASSMAN, on 10/10/2007, -3/+14This guy is just a moron.. don't waste your time analyzing it.
- miriclaire, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10And let's not forget "We'll fight them over there!"
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11I wouldn't personally care. What value is his life if he spends it spewing out ***** like that?
Why is 'life' valued over 'ethics', or 'conviction'?
I'll never understand that about my country. - LoopyChew, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10I understand this guy's means of thinking, but I firmly believe another 9/11 will actually further polarize this country--destroy it.
There will be those people who believe that it was because Bush's attempts at "securing our Freedom" furthered the already-roaring animosity amongst our enemies, and those who believe that the Liberals held back Bush's attempts at security. There will be more people who simply decide it's no longer safe to live in the States and flee to the North, or across the ocean. There will be a wider range of scapegoats, most of them internal. There will be more conspiracy theories, more rabid attempts at isolationism and nationalism, more internal dissent.
Lots of things will happen should another 9/11 happen.
Unfortunately, Stu, a saved America won't be one of them. - Fordi, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11I think he's entirely wrong - not for stating that another attack on american soil is needed, but for insinuating that having the entirety of America united in a fear-based response was a good thing.
The immediate reaction to 9/11 was neither sound nor rational. All of Congress went and passed things like the Patriot Act - and we are, as a Nation, poorer for those dark days.
We don't need unified. We need out of Iraq. Political cannibalization indeed. Am I the only one here who thinks that a gridlocked government is the only type I can trust to keep their noses out of my private life? - trghpy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11Well, while most of us will mod you down, I'll just state it takes one to know one.
Don't blame everyone for what a couple idiots say. We're doing our best at fixing the problem, but they have as much rights of expression as the rest of us.
Shooting the bastard would make us bigger ***** then the bastards are already.
So shaddup with your pointless insults.
Cheers
-t - sakul, on 10/10/2007, -5/+15To save America, we need to vote in Ron Paul... and I am a liberal....
- Smoove, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10They don't WANT to catch Osama. If they ever do, folks will argue convincingly that the real mission is accomplished and it's time to bring the troops home. As long as he's at large, they can say, "Today we invaded Uzbekistan, and of course we're still keeping a sharp eye peeled for Osama."
- CueBall909, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9There is no "war on terror". First off, we never declared war. Secondly, terror is a tactic, not a group of people. 19 guys supposedly banded together, hijacked some planes, and killed 3,000 of our citizens. So, in retaliation, we invade a country that had nothing to do with the attack and kill, maim, and wound hundreds of thousands of its citizens. Al Qaeda wasn't in Iraq. Bin Laden wasn't in Iraq. There were no WMDs in Iraq. Who are the real terrorists?
- wholly2b, on 10/10/2007, -3/+12This is the letter I wrote him:
Stu,
Do you realize how crazy you sound? Calling for innocent Americans to die so that more immoral, uselses wars can be waged? What good has come from US military presence in the Middle East except for making rich people richer and making more and more people in the Middle East hate America?
Here is a letter from Osama bin Laden himself explaining his acts of terrorism. I hope including this link does brand me as a terrorist-loving anti-American commie bed-wetting liberal in your strange mind. I’m just hoping it might encourage you to use the logical reasoning capabilites of your brain: http://observer.guardian.co.uk/worldview/story/0,11581,845725,00.html
So what is his number one reason for attacking America? US Military presence in the middle east. US cuddling with Israel. Those are his big beefs. Another attack on America, followed by a renewed war in the Middle East would only cause more hatred on both sides, and more violence on both sides. It would also conceivably keep the neocons Christian fundamentalists in charge of the US government, which I confess I believe is your agenda.
Have you heard of Ron Paul? (I’m imagining your thought process here: AH! It makes sense now! He’s a ronbot!) He is a conservative Republican, which you are not. I’d encourage you to watch this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCM_wQy4YVg), where he speaks to some of America’s brightest minds – Google employees. Put aside whatever prejudices you might have against him, and watch the video as an interested American, one who recognizes that our country is not currently living up to his potential. He might not convince you, but your mind will be a little more open.
Peace,
ct - Langford, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11How many more years of nothing bad happening will be required to make these cowards calm down and quit being crazy?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10Actually I was thinking of people like you. Thanks for making my point.
- Loonacy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8So.. if another 9/11 doesn't happen, then what's our target again? Why would we need to even have a target if we're in no danger? He's hoping for people to lose their lives so we can work harder at preventing people from losing lives? It makes absolutely no sense.
