mmm... so my mom just informed me about one of the iraqi television broadcast stations, i can't remember what they're called, but they're the ones that always show whenever osama bin ladin releases one of his tapes, or when they show the beheadings on air. anyone know what i'm talking about?

...anyway. they said things about how some people are blaming the united states and india for the tsunami. they believe that we have been testing our nuclear weapons underwater in asia, thus caused the massive storm. they are now in the process of creating a team to investigate for proof of this.

blink.gif _dry.gif am i the only one confused about this?

...keep in mind this is not meant to be a racist topic in the least bit, i'm just stating what i've heard on the news and what maybe some other people have heard, too.

and i also apologize if there has been another topic on this. if so, go ahead and close it.

It has already happened and millions of people lost their lives. We can't bring them back. But, just to be on the safe side, any more tsunamis and I'm going to go poor.

so i guess the fact that an earthquake was recorded on a fault line doesn't convince them...

i think the news station is al-jazeers or something like that.

actually, you can make a tsunami happen.


a tsunami happens when there is a log of water displacement deep in the ocean.

it like if you took a bath, took a plastic box and held it uder water so that there was air in it (upside down)

and then turn it right side up really quickly

you can't see the tsunami tho because the sides of your tub won't slope enough.


however, a nuclear bomb under water would create a tsunami.

false:

the most common cause of tsunamis is underwater seismic action.

however, any displacement/ rapid movement of lots of water can cause a tsunami.

Wow... that's rather ignorant...

But I do agree with Mr. Acid. A nuclear bomb *could* cause a tsunami, but I HIGHLY doubt that was the case this time. Besides, like someone ^ there said, the underwater earthquake *was* recorded on a fault line.

Ah, the ignorance of humanity amuses me.

uhhh NOoO. have they ever heard of a NATURAL DISASTER? oh, might as well blame iraq for that earthquake in san francisco a while back. only fair right? *scowl*

it was caused by an earthquake that happened underwater, causing the tsunami to wash over the islands...(duh)

tsunamis are caused by a bunch of different things. underwater volcanoes, earthquakes, or simply just big enough chunk of a side of a cliff falling into the ocean. if someone did detonate a nuclear weapon underwater, it'd definitely create a wave big enough to do that much damage. tho i highly doubt that we did one so near to other people...thats just stupid. we test nuclear weapons in like, nevada in the middle of a desert. where the only thing we're gonna bomb is a little cactus.

Uhm, I don't think that's true -- or it might be. But like the researchers or whatever in Hawaii knew there was going to be a tsunami, so they told all the people in Asia, but the people in Asia weren't part of this umm..west tsunami watcher society thingy, so they weren't sure how to get the message out, so like..yeah..

it seems like that Iraqi station/tv/whatever just wants to blame it on someone, someone being the country in war with them, in my personal opinion from what i read.

you know what i have noticed? is that EVERYTIME something majorly bad happens, someone/people have to blame someone/people else. so therefore, if you do not have evidence, shut up or go try and find some.

but that's just what i think.

God Bless the 200,000+ souls.

how would we have saved them? the people in asia didn't even know that the tsunami was going to hit because they don't have a sensor system like a lot of other countries do.

we can't keep on playing the "what if" game ... because yes, many people were killed, but we can't change that. We can't bring them back to life. And citizens of the U.S. are donating millions of dollars [even more than the government] to help out. Everyone's making the best of the situation as it stands...and if you would realize that we aren't super heroes with "spidey-senses" where we know when natural disasters are going to happen...then maybe you won't say something like that.

I don't think the US are testing nuclear bombs underwater!
Eck... that would be a disaster if they did. Anyways
the people who studies the waters and the earthquakes
said that they predicted there will be tsunami. They even
predicted one before the tsunami came before the
Southeast Asia one...

That is IMPOSSIBLE! nuclear bombs my butt! didnt they remember what happend last time we used a nuclear bomb>?! it killed over a million people in Hiroshima and Nagaski, Japan! people are still agruing if it was a good idea to drop it during WWII but that is a whole other thread in itself.

but after that horrible moment in history, we have refrained using any nuclear weaponry. we have too many other problems then waste time creating a bomb for a tsunami and then fix what we did. that is a bunch of baloney.

the civil defense in hawaii tried to inform the governments in asia that there might be a tsunami. but they couldnt b/c they didnt have the phone numbers of the countries..even if the government knew about the tsunami, they couldnt get the warning out to the ppl living on the coast b/c there wasnt any system...in hawaii and other pacific nations theres a system set up so if there is a tsunami we can evacuate to higher grounds..

and i dont think nuclear bombs caused the tsunami..right before the tsunami occured, there was a earthquake in that area. i think the tsunami occured b/c of the moving plates. that area has a lot of movement b/c of the ring of fire so i dont think its b/c of the united states.

Yes, yes, I know, the whole thing is rediculous. I started this thread to point out the ignorance of people blaming America for the tsunami, like everything is our fault in their eyes. It sickens me.

Okay, maybe that's just an excuse to make the tsunami our fault? Everyone knows the tsunami happened from an underwater earthquake.

Ummm... yeah. Most of the world hates the U.S. I don't know if I'd necessarily blame them. But I do think it's really sad how so many people are getting fed loads of crap like the U.S. made the tsunami. I think they're just afraid that they could be losing power if the U.S. sets up new government in Iraq and the middle east.

Stupid propaagandaaaaaaahhhh!
