    cant believe what has happened at all !!!
    you hear about attempts happening but when it happened i felt sick at work i couldnt believe what i was hearing on the news and now seeing the tv !!!

    also when me mam went shopping in asda in shields earlier she said a group of thugs saw a couple of asian people had had a right go at them in the shop and NOT one person tried to stop them!!! it wasnt there fault it happened ! public relations are now going to be tested to the max !!!

    ps..... i work with quite a few musliums and my views havent changed of them because of this !!!


    R.I.P :( :(

    I think youre missing his point, an invading western force invaded an arabic nation, its intentions were economic (which was blatantly obvious to the global arab demographic).. As a consequence of this economic conquest thousands of innocents civilians were murdered.

    You try telling an arab that witnessed his friends and family getting caught in "cross fire" that his family died for a just cause and he'll fucking laugh at you... whether we target military targets is irrelivant - thousands of innocent Iraqis have died as a result of an economic invasion.

    If we hadnt invaded we quite probably wouldn't be in this predicament.

    No it isn't?!?!?

    In recent times Islamic attacks have been carried out against the wests perence in arab nations!

    You are clearly uneducated on these matters - yet you run your mouth like you're fucking colin powell.

    With regards to iraq, they should have either:

    a) Removed him from power after the UN repelled the invasion of Kuwait, when saddam was all but beaten and they had the support of all of the nations in the region.

    b) Left him to rot and for his own people to eventually overthrow him.

    The solution we have at present is neither of the two and the worst of both. All it has done has created bad feeling and given extremists more targets.

    There's no such thing as a clean war, even with the technology we have today. Innocent civilians will always die in war, whether they were targeted or not, Human nature being what it is, mistakes will always be made and atrocities commited (Abu Graihb being the example that springs to mind).

    Still, two wrongs does not make a right.

    sorry i wasnt clear there, its obvious death wasnt their main goal, panic and damaged economy and infrastucture was the main goal death was secondary

    This is a result of the UK siding with Bush in his economic arab conquest... Had Blair not took us to war - we would not of been a target.

    It was US troops in Saudi.
    It was the US that invaded Iraq.

    This is a US problem, we joined the US for whatever reasons and as a consequence made ourselves a target.

    If you're looking for a scapegoat Blair is as much a target as Al Queda.

    I'd agree with that.

    If he was to be removed it should have been during the kuwait war when they had a UN mandate to do so.

    I disagree, death and damage were the goal - it is this combination that attracts huge media interest...

    Media interest generates fear.

    Fear is the main objective.

    i agree panic and fear were main goals but if death was they could have attacked busier places and slightly earlier in the day

    It was the height of rush hour when they did strike, with everyone hurrying to get to work...

    Don't forget the importance of their target - it looks far more horrific when they can bring the largest city in this country to its knees... London is a symbol of all that the UK stands for, just like the Twin Towers were a symbol of what the US stands for...

    twenty minutes earlier and (god forbid) it would have been worse, with more commuters and children.

    But your right what your saying about the targets significance, its all about creating as much panic and fear as possible

    did you see the state of iraq before we invaded, yes it had infrastructure, but the people were livig under tyrancial rule.

    he was a threat to various nations in the middle east. i blame the yanks for the shit storm in iraq because of the way they have handled it. but something needed to be done about him.

    and like i said attackin civilians only leads to hate.

    No they dont, Osama Bin Laden and many other Al Queda operatives were freedom fighters/liberators/whatever but their causes started losing momentum, they jumped on the Islamic bandwagon when they realised it had a far powerful pulling appeal throughout the arab world.

    Islam is weilded is a justification for their actions and as a tool of recruitment for their cause.... But the Qur'an is not their insentive to attack - western presence in the middle east is the insentive.

    Educate yourself before trying to educate others.
