terrorism again?!?!? :(

[sccz97]

luckily i was 10 minutes away from the incidents, in london...my thoughts go to the families of those involved

[Rastarr]

Words fail me in expressing my contempt for the cowardess of these terrorists scumbags - this should strengthen the resolve of every power of the free world to bring these criminals to justice.

My thoughts and best wishes go to the victims and their friends and families.

I'm glad you were able to avoid it all, sccz97 - I have a brother-in-law in London at this moment who we've not yet heard from. I sure hope he slept in.

Hmm... I wish all terrorists would be brought to justice. Lucky u sccz97.

My friend in London lives meteres away from explotions . He`s ok thank god. All these terorists acts make me sad and angry .

[scorpion]

Besides terrorist, can that be something else? Is this related to 2012 Olympic bid?

I think those terrorists are extremely stupid anyway. They thought they have threaten Britain to withdraw troops from Iraq and Afgan, but in fact they have just made millions of people their enemy now; thus would eventually call for more fighters entering into those countries. Someday, I will join the army and fight them to hell.

Not the olympics. London was only chosen yesterday. No way they can plan it that soon. My guess is that it's related to the G8 conference.

I don't know they are extremely stupid....
Until now they have won in a certain way. Look what happend after 9/11. Americans and to an lesser extent Europeans lost freedom due to the Patriot Act.
So in a way the terrorists stole the freedom of the free west.
They are destabelizing everything.

"War on Terrorism", I support.

"War on Terrorism", I support.

Yes, the Partroit Act is so strict that even many US bank accounts for non-us residents were closed by force. To reopen, non-us aliens must fly to US and open the account face-to-face.

Well, i would argue about the stupidedness of the terrorists.

Even before London, the worlds major countries started an anti terrorist crusade. Did they cach someone? Did US forces found nukes in Iraq of Afganistan ? Did they cach any of terrorists in Afganistan ? If yes, only a few. The people that are dying in Iraq , Afganistan and so on are civilians. Or maybe patriots , but not terrorists. Why do i think like that ? Becouse Russia is trying to fight the terorists in Chechnya for 10 years, and only now they have killed one of the Chechen generals. 10 years of wars. And about 10 huge teracts for 10 years like : 3 houses were blowned up in Moscow. The people in theater Nord Os held like hostages for 4 days. Kids taken as hostages at september the first. The Russian forces were fighting terrorism , and the terracts were going on and on. This is the problem in fighting terrorists: terrorism has no sountries, has no borders, no government,no parliament,no white house. While the Allied forces keep fighting them in Chechnya, Iraq or Afganistan , they could be sitting on Barbados and drinking Mojito and planning another act And they don`t have a lack of money, becouse terroris is not just something like a revenge or something like that, now it is also a business. This is really frightening, and as i sad it makes me angry. I have no idea of an effective way to fight them.

I also felt very strange. I was just looking at the charts when the teracts took place, i have seen that the gbp and eur are starting to go down, but i felt like if i go short oon them now, it woould be like making money on someones trouble. I also don`t understand how someone could short currencies and indesxes on september 11. Could you ? I couldn`t. Call me a bad trader, but i could not do it, not mather the profits.

It's called asymetric warfare. The US has superior firepower. The war in Iraq could have been won in 2 hours. Simply nuke the place. But that's immoral.
So send big tanks. Then the opposition sets up a human shield. It's immoral to blast away the children that form the shield. Etc etc.

Surely the leaders could be on Barbados. But what's new? Was Bush fighting in Iraq? And Blair? Did Hitler actually fight? It's always the small people that get shot. The leaders just give orders from 2000 miles away. Same with terrorists. Obviously Bin Laden is no suicide bomber either...

America had it's Vietnam. Russia's Vietnam is called Afganistan. The firepower of USA and USSR was a 10000:1 to the countries they invaded. Did they win?
I fear the same will be with fighting terrorists. All it takes is a few kgs of C4.
Easily carried in a plastic bag. Are we prepared to shot everyone on sight that carries a plastic bag. No? Then we can't win....
