Do you consider 9/11 to have been an act of

[Skidmore]

war or a crime? Why do you think this way?

[MichiganVote]

1. It was the grand design of a strongly persuasive sociopathic fuck.

5. Bush? (nt)

[Vincardog]

9. You think Cheney was strongly persuasive?

[Bandit]

2. It was a crime although of humongous proportions..

:shrug: sometimes it is better to just keep one's thoughts to themselves...

[whatchamacallit]

3. It was a crime, labeled an act of war, to justify war. (nt)

[Mist]

16. +1.

[bbinacan]

4. War

because of the intent behind the act.

[Ron Green]

6. Crime. The perpetrators were not a state or government,

unless of course you count whatever complicity there was from our own "leaders."

[SpartanDem]

7. It was the on scale of Pearl Harbor

it was an act of war

[aquart]

24. What has scale got to do with it? NOTHING.

Pearl Harbor was ordered by a GOVERNMENT. It was one nation's attack on another nation.

Al qaida was a government? OF WHAT NATION?

Do you think it was smart or the height of stupidity to elevate al qaida to a nation state and bin Ladin to a chief of state?

Scale. Talk about lacking a sense of proportion.

11. War w/o country perpetrator, so technically 'uncertain.'

Crime against humanity, which has continued.

[notadmblnd]

12. A crime

because Al-quaida is not a country. You go to war with countries not radical groups of individuals.

[quinnox]

13. A crime

An act of war has to come from an organized country in my book.

Also, this particular landmark crime of 9/11 still has many questions and strange curiosities that have never been fully explored.

Definitely needs to be investigated some more.

[spanone]

14. crime....bu$h*/cheney elevated it to war status

[tekisui]

15. Crime. Mass murder.

[jakeXT]

[Autumn]

19. Crime.

PDB Aug 16,2001 bin Laden determined to strike in US.

[El Supremo]

20. Isn't war a crime?

[LanternWaste]

23. A war crime...

A war crime... I don't think one necessarily precludes the other.
