He is NOT currently a terrorist. If he were, Israel would not deal with him, and _he_ would not be involved in negotiating peace in the west bank with Israeli leaders.

Let me explain to you what would happen to Yassar Arafat if he were currently involved in terrorist activities:

The Mossad would put a bullet in his head, or the IDF would destroy his vehichle with a gunship, or they would take him into custody.

Israeli is nothing if not effective, relentless, and ruthless when they know where a threat exists. Israeli intelligence in that region is excellent, and I assure you, they would not sit at a table and negotiate anything with him if he were currently involved in terrorist activities.

So your saying if you murder someone but then you stop killing then your no longer a murder, hmmmm and if you rob a bank and steal 10 millon dollars and never steal again and never get caught your not a thief?
No wonder the world is so screwed up.

Enough.

Cartalas, you will stop this line of discussion, as will you Aranuil.

Agree to disagree, nothing will be solved by arguing back and forth with one another.

Congress debating whether to Declare War on country X responsible for the terrorist attacks.

An actual Declaration of War would be the first since...when?

WWI
WWII

Were they our last two Declarations of War?

Not spanked. I can understand a heated discussion, but I don't want to see fights started or feelings hurt. Spanked is when I ban someone, then you can say they were spanked.

Well, a Declaration of War huh?

Gulf War was a "policing action," not a war.
I believe Korea was the same.
Not sure about Vietnam.

Vietnam was a policing action. Last declaration of War was WWII.

NATO's Article 5 declaration on X is also unprecedented.

This just reported on CNN.com.

As with recent unprecedented events in history, a thread on the Veeshan board of EQvault was reported to have gone over 200 posts with no content regarding Celestial Tomb or Fires of the Heavens until one of our own employees had to 'blow off some steam'.

Lets keep one thread open for semi serious discussions...just yesterday some of you were evacuated from your buildings and thousands of your fellow citizens died.

Winnow--

People deal with things in different ways. I was quite glad to see some humor for a change. The wounds are still fresh, but the healing has to begin sometime.

i did it as a joke valgul =).

i work at CNN and have been eating, sleeping, breathing this insanity since the second it happened. I need to laugh at something, sorry if you were offended. I think it was fairly obvious that it was supposed to poke fun at the whole CT v. FoH thing. this is a damn game afterall...

as for lowering the tone of conversation. this is a messageboard. it doesnt accomplish anything. it is merely a place where people express whatever they want/need to.
a nice change of pace has been the relatively positive tone of most of the stuff in light of this insanity.

I know it is not possible to read context into a post on a messageboard. People who know me realize taht i like to say silly things, both to bring a smile to my face as well as theirs. that is the beginning and end of it really. happy.gif

Voronwe do you work in the TV portion or the Web portion, I would think the WebMaster's and Web Designers not to mention the Administrators had a hell of a day. Also i think a small amount of humor is good it means things are returning to normal but we must not forget.

I've posted this in a couple of places. It's a recount of my day on September 11 2001.


I took my train into Newark as I always do, the 6:32 out of Princeton Junction. I get to Newark and take the path train into the trade center. I left the trade center and walked down Trinity for 3 blocks, pick up my bagel w/ cream cheese. i cut over to broadway to my building which just south of Rector st. I go in, refill my water bottle, browse some websites while eating. Then start to polish off a regulatory report due next Monday.

Then my fiance calls, who works for a newswire service over in Jersey City. "David, a plane just crashed into the 80th floor of the World Trade Center!" "What was that? I've got to see this". A person in the cube diagonal from me asked me what was wrong. I told him and we proceeded to walk to the corner of the building we can see the Trade Center out of (our building is no more than 300-400 yards away from the center). We are on the 9th floor and look up and there it was, 15-20 floors on fire. The 3 of us in the room start to concoct various theories for about 30 or 40 seconds (time of events is extremely difficult to remember).

I take the elevator down to see the comotion-women crying, men dazed. Then, what felt like 10 seconds later, there was a boom, the ground shook. Everyone started to run past me screaming. I run up the steps, grab my bag, call my fiance, she tells me to head to the water, walk north towards mid-town and try to catch the ferry at Chelsea Piers. I told her I loved her, ran down the steps, ran into a co-worker and friend looking shell-shocked. "Brian, we've got to get the hell out of here, Brian! Out!" I got the fuck out of Dodge.

I head south towards the water. Some are crying, some are huddled, where boadway splits, some were standing by the bull staring in disbelief.

I kept walking, thinking that planes are just going to start falling out of the sky bombarding any and all tall buildings. I try to use my cell phone to call my mom to let her know I was ok, no luck. Try maybe 5 or 6 times, nothing. Finally, I get through. i stop walking, now by the ferry to staten island. Let her know everything is ok and that I'm walking north. Paper is falling out of the sky. Paper from a building now 8 or 9 blocks away.

I get off the phone, then start my walk up the FDR I think. I stop near the near the south street seaport, look up, and, literally, thousands of people are walking across the brooklyn bridge. It was an exodus to get out of the city. Noone was running, they were just walking, occasionally looking over their shoulders.

I begin to walk again, I hear another boom. More people run past me crying. I walk backwards and see white smoke plums. People are asking a cop what that was. This wasn't another building hit, this was one which fell. The fucking trade center fell down.

I'm already a little north of the damage path so I only get a little soot on me. I pick up a charred peice of paper, now at least 15 blocks away, and put it in my bag. I start walking again. I begin to cut over west a little once i get into the area near greenwich village. I know the roads there, and felt more comfortable walking down them. People young and old are out of their apartments talking. The people who came from the area just keep walking.

I finally am able to pick up a couple of water bottles, one which was finished before putting the cap back on. Some people have their cars turned on in the street playing news reports aloud for others to hear. The residents stare at me as I continue to walk north.

I eventually get to 17th street. My uncle works there and I wanted to tell him I was ok. Phones were still useless, this was the only way. They had already evacuated. The building guard advised me that my uncle took a van and started to drive the kids who were stranded home (he works educating mentally handicapped children). "Figures, just like him".

I'm at 22nd and Park, I go into a conveniant store and buy a pack of cigarettes. I ask a group of 5 people sitting outside what street chelsea piers is on. They tell me that they are heading there also and invited me to join them.

While walking there, each person told their own story. Two worked at 1 liberty (across the street from the trade center) and were in a meeting. They bolted so fast that one of them forgot to take his car keys. They saw people jumping. i would have puked if my bagel wasn't digested already. Two women worked in the trade center, 59th floor. Ann, a blonde woman in her mid-30's said she panicked and was going to stay in the buliding until her friend, the other woman,Jean, a spitfire 5'1" woman in her fifties coming from trenton every morning, pulled her and forced her to leave with her.

We get to chelsea piers and wait for about 2 hours on line. The ferry was going to jersey city now because hoboken must have reached its capacity. On the water, a half mile away, we could all see what really happened. Additional buildings in the vicinity were on fire, dust clouds stretched all the way down to the south end of the city. Everyone was saddened and exhausted and sickened and angry.

They were decontaminating the people who were dirty once we got off of the boat. Took the bus to the train and then the train home. A trip that began around 9:15 or so ended at 6:30.
