New York.- The Dominican community, among all the Hispanics who died in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, contributed the highest quota of blood.
But today, eight years after their disappearances, very few remember our victims, including the local governments, community organizations and consular authorities in New York.
According to official figures, 25 Dominicans were identified, although independent estimates place it as high as 43.
Also among the dead were 18 Colombians, 13 from Ecuador, 6 from Cuba, 4 Argentineans, 1 from Chile, 15 Mexicans, 7 Haitians and others from El Salvador, Honduras, Jamaica, Peru, Venezuela, Paraguay and Guyana.
The Health Department and the Office of the Coroner said at the time that of the total dead and/or missing 247 were Latinos, or 9% of all the victims, whereas in the category “others” the figure is 143.

Most people are beginning to realize that 911 was an inside job. I do think that the theory that says it was made to create an excuse for themselves to invade the middle eastern countries...oh well, that's the Israeli lobby for you.

You believe Israel was responsible. Please elaborate. I would for one love to hear your reasoning behind this statement. Maybe I misunderstood you..If you do believe they were behind it please let all of us know your sources. Apparently you have better insite than all the governments that investigated that days happening.

VivaCuba,
Any body who commits such a terrible act upon on innocent Human Lives in my book is a COLD BLOODED, COWARD, KILLER, AN INSANE S.O.B, TERRORIST, I don't care what there cause may be, even worst are the ones who support such and think nothing of it.
They were Islamic Fundamentalist / Jihadist who in the name of God did a Murderous act. They intentionally targeted Civilians. I know we don't serve the same God.
And what ever you think don't say Bush was in on it or had information prior to the Attacks. Please if you even think that route PLEASE list facts.
Please show some respect for those who posted on this Article......Many knew the Victims, Families, and had Relatives.
If anything just honor 911.
Take care.

mrios, I agree with you especially having sympathy for the survivors. I also agree about searching the facts. A good place to start is www.ae911truth.org Educated licensed professionals unanimously agree along with everyone who has watched slow motion videos the way it went down was NOT the way government run TV presents it. Each person should review the facts and perform their own in depth review and study of the data available so that history does not repeat itself. I question "WHO" would have benefited from this? Humans are too lazy to do something of this magnitude simply for the fun of it without gaining something in return. The Patriot act could have NEVER been pushed through without something of this great magnitude. Do you believe in false flag operations?

Yes Sir, and please let us ALL remember education is KEY to everything. And let us not loose sight of the importance to not allow this to happen AGAIN. IT all goes back to EDUCATION. People must educate THEMSELVES and not rely on media programming to mislead.
From: United States
True education is "key" but not the key to everything. I believe education is over sold as a panacea, a cure it all for most of societies ills. What many fail to realized is that education alone is not omnipotent. Though essential and important, It is simply one component, part of a whole, a segment of a combination of other factors necessary for human success. President Calvin Coolidge once said that "the world is full of educated derelicts." Meaning that knowledge acquired through education or by what ever means is vain and useless, unless it is appropriately applied. It's not the knowledge itself that makes the difference, but rather application of that knowledge. No time in history has the world experienced greater literacy and unprecedented information explosion, yet there is a prevalent fundamental lack of basic understanding and common sense essential to humanity's overall well-being. This is a consequence of a concentrated effort on the material and neglect of the spiritual

VivaCuba,
The question I have is why isn't the Main Media CNN, NBC, ABC etc..etc.. [ all Bush haters ] doing investigative Reporting ?
Why the Twin Towers ?
why not Attack a Major Sporting event ? The number of Victims would easily Doubled.
Why not Attack a Nuclear Power Plant ? This would of made 3 Mile Island and Chernobyl look like a walk in the park.
With Thousands of eye witnesses why not more People have come forward ?
With hundreds of video camera's rolling where's the new incriminating evidence ?
Why after 8 years still no new evidence ?
Why is it that only the Bush Haters are the ones so desperately trying to discredit Bush ? He's no longer in Office remember !
Why is Oh'Blama after promising to drop the CIA investigation, restart the CIA investigation ?
Here's my theory, Oh'Blama is setting up the U.S for another Attack !
Meanwhile Oh'Blama is busy apologizing to the World about U.S past errors !
Could Oh'Blama be creating a smoke screen ? for what ?

It all depends on the purpose and intent, what messages did they want to conveyed? I believe the focus was not necessarily the destruction of human life which to me is simply the after effect of terrorism. Remember terrorist do not fight against a physical enemy, though that is part of their military tactic, they attack an ideology. The destruction of the twin towers is symbolic to the destruction of American capitalism. The fall of the towers was surreal, a most dramatic exposition to the world, that terrorist are capable of bringing down to their feet, the most powerful country in the world. The location was the powerhouse of American finance. The symbolism behind the terrorist attack on a structure of such magnitude is to the world an ultimate attack on US-American ideology.

Guillermone,
Thank you for the input I just wanted to know if VivaCuba was on the same page, setting a side the Human Life Factor.
"they attack an Ideology" true, but let us not forget a Radical Islamic Fundamentalist also believe killing Allah enemy's is a Guarantee to Heaven.
A free Society is always a easy target.
May I add.....I believe a Terrorist attack is to inflict Fear & Terror with the use of Explosives, Bullets and Kidnapping by removing the SAFETY ELEMENT whether the target is a Bus, School, Building, Car or a Public place Human Life [ Infidels, non-believers ] is their real Prize.
Using that Twisted logic I can only wonder how many more target Plans are on the works at this present moment ?
Part of what made it even more dramatic was the World saw it on LIVE T.V as it happened, the images will stay printed permanently in my mind for all the rest of my natural LIFE.
Brother, take care.

mrios, There is " ALOT" of new evidence surfacing. People must research it and "begin" with the website mentioned above. It does require much time, however. It is for those who are serious with inquisitve minds who demand the truth. Curiosity seekers will probably not reach the end. Another good website is prisonplanet.tv or infowars.com Each have mp3 downloadable files for the days programming. No membership required. He is not left nor right but presents FACTS supported by documentation and backed up by source references.
Would anyone else like to take a stab as to why the major news main media networks are not reporting any of this or doing any investigations?

As we agree, those who are seeking the truth will not find it anywhere on mainstream media just the same as every other disaster the americans are coping with currently. This is no different. so don't bother looking at CNN, Fox, etc. Not everyone wants to learn the truth and I completely understand.
From: United States
mrios-"they attack an Ideology" true, but let us not forget a Radical Islamic Fundamentalist also believe killing Allah enemy's is a Guarantee to Heaven. "
You basically said the same thing, only in different words. Islamic radicals don't kill for the sake of killing, the main focus is the false belief that it is a "Guarantee ot Heaven." This is what motivates them, the prize for their good deeds in favor of Allah. The US needs to change the minds of extremist radicals and their religious ideology. We need to destroy the thoughts of islamic radical fundamentalists. It does not matter if the US declares war on terrorism. It will only slow them down, but it will not stop them. Muslim children from the day they are born are indoctrinated to hate the west and their "demonic culture." This is how they view us as if we were the devil. But of course they will do anything to destroy us. The ideology is deeply ingrained that they are willing to place their own life as rasome sacrifice.
