Explosions in London ! (5 Viewers)

[sallyinzaghi]

My very close friend cried when she heard the news. Her parents were in London (still are), and everytime they're in London apparently they will stay somewhere really near where the bombings occured. Only this time there was no accommodation so they stayed somewhere else.

Talk about luck. Poor girl :frown:

But my point was that if the Islamo-fascists had the technology, I'm pretty sure they'd only attack military targets, with the odd "collateral damage".

Well, then IMO it wouldn't be real/proper terrorism as the primary goal for terrorist _attacks_ (not meaning the motives behind terrorists) is to upbring terror among the enemy. Which type of strike for terrorist is better - attack a lonely battleship or destroy a bus in center of a big city..

37 dead so far according to CNN.

Howard said now 52 (54?) people are dead now.

Well. Like Chris Rock said. "You know the world's crazy when the best golfer is black, the best rapper is white and the tallest man in NBA is chinese."

I do not condone such acts - suicide bombings etc. Especially as a Muslim everytime it happens it will mar Islam's image when the root word of Islam in the first place means "peace".

Having said that - after reading Andy's post that these people are spreading false ideology (which they are) - and bearing in mind these attacks are absolutely wrong - sometimes people always look at these attacks and turn their fingers on these fanatics yet why is it that people always forget that the western world weren't exactly kind either. It's not a one sided war.

You just made it personal...

First off, you lil ***** ass Yankee, if you'd ever say something like that about my people in real life I'd rip your ass apart.

I don't have to be thankfull for shit, neither does my people. The only reason that your *****-ass country helped mine was because YOU needed help from the Kurds, if you really wanted to help us you would have done something after Halabja 88.

Don't you ever talk like that to me again, I'm not going to say your imature and try to keep myself calm even though you're acting like a ****ing 3 year old, I'm going to say this instead,

**** you, **** your country and **** having respect for it. You little *****, I swear these kids get to much air behind a computerscreen.


Oh, and I don't suck Saddams dick, I don't swing that way.

*****.

Boo hoo. Instead of replying to one of twenty posts with fair critisism you reply to the only one which contains a little bit of offensive language. You think using lots of asterisks and throwing pseudo-threaths makes you look cool? And if you hate the Americans so much why do you speak English anyway?

Could well be because the #33 didn't include the fatalities from the double decker bus yet and rumours had it that was packed because the subway system was already out of order at that time.

Also, said they found more bombs in London that were destroyed by the bomb squad "controlled explosions", which does make you wonder. Could there be more unexploded bombs? That a child might find for example?

 

[Slagathor]

I think we would have found that out already by now, 24 hours later.

 

[Nicole]

I'd say it's pretty hard to search a city as big as London

 

[Slagathor]

What I mean is that the terrorists would have sought to make the bombs go off within a small time window such as what happened yesterday in London and back in Madrid. If there's bombs left (which I doubt) then they obviously don't work.

That's where you're wrong. It's dumb to think terrorism will end if everybody just minds their own business. Need a reason why? Greed and power. Terrorism was around before the US invaded Iraq, even before Iranian extremists took several US citizens hostage in Tehran during the mid 80's. If everyone would pull out and mind their own business, what would extremists do then? If not continue to terrorize Western countries, they would persecute their own people, much like Saddam Hussien or the Taliban or Slobodon Milosevic or what have you. To sit back and take a nonchalant "let's not do anything" attitude will get you nowhere and will not resolve any problems. As the famous quote says, the only way evil will triumph is if good men do nothing. All I see in your post is the same badwagon "blame the West" nonsense again.

I don't know what you mean by "blame the west" thing,or if you meant "anti-west",but you are very wrong my friend,am not that at all,I always hated the place I lived (middle east),am not east-admirer myself..but with my posts I don't think I will change the way you are thinking,because you are patriotic (not sure if I picked the right word),with "you would do or accept anything for your country even if it was right or wrong" attitude.well that makes you blind..just think for a moment, why would arabs and muslims do such things,suicide bombs etc.. is it because it's cool thing to do?do they have other options than that?they are patriotic,they would do anything for their country,like I said even if it was right or wrong..you can't expect them to fight with their little army,against the likes of Usa Britain and others..wouldn't that be fool step,that way they will lose their country so easily..

btw you said terorsim in Islam world was even before Iranian extremists took several US citizens hostage in Tehran during the mid 80's.. so true,the roots of that is far away from that,that's because of the Israel/Palestine situation.. If Usa didn't support Israel,I don't think these problems would occur today..

If everyone would pull out and mind their own business, what would extremists do then? If not continue to terrorize Western countries, they would persecute their own people, much like Saddam Hussien or the Taliban or Slobodon Milosevic or what have you. To sit back and take a nonchalant "let's not do anything" attitude will get you nowhere and will not resolve any problems.

Altough I don't support any kind of war,but for this,"The Goods" could create an organization,Like UN,for example,but not like the one we have today..they would interfere those countries,if it's own people asked for help..

For me,any one who kills is a terorist,killer,criminal you name it.. don't get me wrong,I am not at anyone's side,but for me they are the same bullshit. bin laden and co kills in an ugly way,but bush and blair and others in a" less uglier" way,"for protecting their people" and other craps like that...
if both side really want to solve these problems,they could do by talking,by agreements etc...

Thats one of the better points on this thread.

Well I tend to distrust any form of cultism. And I equally loathe the Islamo-fascists and the Christo-fascists. But my point was that if the Islamo-fascists had the technology, I'm pretty sure they'd only attack military targets, with the odd "collateral damage". That way they could claim the moral high ground like the Christo-fascists currently are. You know, since pulling a Falluja and stuff is always more humane and thus less publicised than suicide-bombing 50 odd innocent Westerners.

Another good point.

That may be so Martin, but why is it that way? Terrorism has much deeper roots than just greed and fight for power, espcially in Palestine. How would you feel if your children got murdered by Israeli soldiers on a day to day basis, if you had to go through countless checks and soldier harassement just to get to your job which you need to provide for your family, if you had no rights in your country, and were actually a prisoner and a foreigner on your own land. I see Israel as nothing more than another South Africa,

All I'm trying to say is that it's easy to dismiss these people as animals, taking the moral highground saying that we are better than them and that we could never do such things, but that's simply not true. There's a potential terrorist, murderer, criminal in every one of us, and there is nothing any man wouldnt do under certain circumstances, whether it be stealing, murdering or carrying out terrorist attacks.

Every one is a potential terrorist under the right circumstances, and thats why it's so hard to stop terrorism.

Couldnt agree more, the palestine Isreali conflict is ridiculous...I see the Isreali occupation the same way, and to think that nobody is fighting for Palestine's rights.
As you can clearly see the US are very much Isreali biased and much of the western world have been somewhat biased in the past. And when justice isnt done, when you dont have anyone to go to (police, judge) then how else can you settle problems? They resort to violence and become killers. its definately wrong but dont think that Killing people are their first options.

I want to make one thing clear.. I hate the American and British governments.. but *not* Americans and British people themselves.. see the difference?

These are the governments that promised to help, but instead end up taking over our countries.. (post WW1)
These are the governments that planted the seed of Israel into the Middle East, so now we can never be united..
George Bush is the biggest hypocrite in the world, and I'm just shocked that he got re-elected..

Before hand I would like to express my deepest sympathies for the victims of the terrible bombings, I forgot to say it earlier but it must have been terrible, especially to live in the city and feel vulnerable and perhaps frightend.

The whole situation is even worse because I feel that especially the US, have always shown like they know whats best for other country, like they know better than anyone else, thus often called arogant.

I think not even the US citizens themselves know exactly whats going on and the affects to people in other parts of the world except for the images and reports you get from cnn. So for all the US' citizens thinks, they are doing a great aid to the world, but its not always viewed that way in other parts of the world. The US has many enemys, those who have no power to protest thus resort to violence.

Honestly it will be hard for the world to have a good understanding of one another when there is only one superpower, who thinks they know it all. The only solution IMO is to have another super power, may be China in the near future. Who can balance the US' grip over the world.

This is my view of power in the world, its not my justification of the bombings. As like mentioned before, two wrongs dont make a right, especially when casulties are not directly related to these issues.

Many people in this world feel the same way. They differintiate US n British people and their Government, which to me is the right thing to do.
