    Hmmm, I find that disturbing and funny at the same time. Interesting.

    Just curious but why would you guys laugh until your side hurts? I don't see what's funny about it. The picture is interesting, but I cant seem to find any humor in it

    No offense guys but that picture is in no way funny to me Actually it down right ticks me off. Now had it been Taliban airlines and a picture of one their now bombed air fields that would have been amusing.

    I agree with Darth (and others). I find it more sad and disturbing than funny.

    hrmm.. i guess i'm just weird... *shrug* oh well... the first time i looked at it... i got pissed, then i re-looked at it as a joke, and thought it was kind of funny... I don't know. It's like we see images of us destorying other people and it's hilarious, so i thought it was kind of funny in this context to see what it would be like if the tables were turned....

    Now... why doesn't this make sense to me anymore... must be too much makeup... oh well..

    Its a bad joke. Another ill-advised move by Burzhui.

    I really don't think this one calls for GAM action. It's just one that has questionable humor.

    I don't find it funny, however I'm sure like the 8 billion silly pictures of Osama we've all gotten in our email it will only be a matter of time before this one makes the rounds as well. Not that it's right to post it here, but since I was probably going to come across it anyways, why not here?

    Damn! Missed it!

    If it pissed off all the die-hard "patriots" here, then it must have been pretty funny.

    Thanks for taking it down. Being offended is not really the case-It probably would have been funny if it was a picture of some Afghani airline(insert flying camel and or carpet here) crashing into a tent-but due to the subject matter it just wasn't really appropriate since it was such a horrific disaster..I mean, if you think that was nicely done, then a picture of hiroshima being blasted to hell should really entertain you.

    Die-hard patriots didn't need planes flown into the WTC to know they loved their country.

    I am not trying to flame, so please excuse this question: Am I the only one who thinks calling the WTC events a disaster takes away from what it actually was...AN ATTACK on the U.S. Almost twice as many people died at the WTC attacks as did at Pearl Harbor attacks. Just curious if anyone else gets a bit erked when people categorize this as a disaster? When I hear disaster I assume it is a natural disaster, or a misforutnate accident, not a cold-blooded attack on our country.

    Oh and for those of you bellowing "what about the innocent civilians in Afghanistan that are being hit by bombs?" To that I respond that they are to be held accountable for their government now. I am sick of hearing people bitch about civilian cassualties in countries with tyranical ruling governments. The citizens need to take responsibility for the govn, or go join the Northern Alliance. I seem to remember a certain country over 200 years ago that decided it was not going to be run by a Govn it found unjust and faught tooth and nail for her freedom. GOD BLESS AMERICA

    I also get irritated calling this cold-blooded attack a disaster.
