After the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, which
killed six and
injured 1,000, President Clinton promised that those responsible would be
hunted down and punished.
After the 1995 bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed five U.S.
military personnel, Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted
down and punished.
After the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed 19
and injured 200 U.S. military personnel, Clinton promised that those
responsible would be hunted down and punished.
After the 1998 bombing of U.S. embassies in Africa, which killed 224
and injured 5,000, Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted
down and punished.
After the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole, which killed 17 and injured 3
U.S. sailors, Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted
down and punished.
Maybe if Clinton had kept his promise, an estimated 7,000 people would
be alive today.
An interesting question:
This question was raised on a Philly radio call-in show. Without
casting stones, it is a legitimate question. There are two men, both
extremely wealthy. One develops relatively cheap software and gives
hundreds of millions of dollars to charity. The other sponsors terrorism.
That being the case, why is it that the US government has spent more
money chasing down Bill Gates over the past ten years than Osama bin Laden?
A man and his son are walking through a
highly built-up Manhattan when
they come across an empty space and the father stops to reflect for a
while.
"Imagine son," the father says "exactly 31 years ago the great
twin towers stood proudly in this area."
Intrigued by the comment the son then asks "what were the twin towers
dad?"
To which the father replies "they were two of the largest buildings in
the world and they housed many thousands of offices.... but in 2001
they were destroyed by terrorists"
The son pauses for a while and then asks "what were terrorists dad?"
