So questioning your confusing logic is harassment now?

No getting telegrams from mods saying I'm on "thin ice" after not being online for a week is usually what I would call harassment.

This would have absolutely nothing to do with Farn poking holes at your arguments being "harassment".

And whether Farn is harassing him or not couldn't possibly have less to do with the actual topic at hand.

For sure, though having the White House destroyed would have made a very powerful image and such as well.

The White House would have been rebuilt within around the same time frame as the Pentagon's repairs were finished.
Maybe a bit longer depending on the damage.

I suppose you mean by the image that the US population would rally behind the WoT even strongly if the White House had been destroyed as well.

You really like to misread my intentions. The white has has been destroyed before, it will probably be destroyed again at some point in the future. Move on stop letting the terrorists win by dwelling on what happened or could have happened 13 years ago.

Don't worry, they were chased out of Washington DC afterwards by a powerful hurricane. By coincidence, it was like the wrath of God unleashed upon them and huge rain and wind gusts put out their fires and sent debris flying against them forcing a retreat.

...Yes it has, what does that have to do with anything? We are letting them win by remembering the tragedy that occurred? We should just...forget all about that tragic day? What the hell are you getting at?


I suppose we are letting the Nazis win by having Holocaust Memorials as well?

This is not a game. I don't understand how we are "letting the terrorists win" by looking back into history. Are we not supposed to study history?

Probably would have killed even more people, resulting propaganda coup by All Qaeda would piss off US even more, US would become even more violent and paranoid, everyone loses.

At least Bush wouldn't be killed. Do you really want to remember our 44th president Dick Cheney?

You do realize that no-one is forcing you to take part in this thread, yes?
Also, it's worth pointing out that if everyone is misinterpreting what you're saying, the problem probably isn't them. It's you not managing to articulate your thoughts clearly.
