understandable

 

[Majed]

would you care to elaborate on that?!

 

[JuveCampione]

no why should I? It's understandable and that's it

 

[KB824]

Majed, I think that it has more to do with the fact that having a large group of people in an enviroment like that may be considered unsafe at this time. It would be a perfect location for a terrorist cell to wreck havoc.

Very Beautifull stadium

 

[KB824]

Wow, that is a really beautiful stadium.


Now just imagine the potential disaster if there were a terrorist strike against it. It's pretty obvious now that these terrorists aren't just Anti-American, they are anti-anyone who supports the US.

That's pretty stupid......why would people bomb some soccer players. There's no motive behind it. As for the other killings, well that's understandable.

 

[nosubstitute959]

I just found out about that bomb actually, but that cannot be compared with playing a friendly soccer game in an Arab country. Oh, well......can't do anything about it.

For the same reason they'd kill Italian peace keepers

 

[nosubstitute959]

Yeah.....I just said I hadn't found out about that. But still, peacekeepers are involved with politics....soccer players are not. What I mean is that it's not the norm for that to happen...people who have nothing to do with the ongoing "crisis" to get killed like that.
