It is time

To close the borders to all people from all Muslim Countrys. These people are sick and must be punished. I think they made a mistake hitting London because the British are tough people much llke Americans.

hitting financial districts like 911.......sick people were dealing with here!

 

[bblight]

There are all kinds of sick people in this world - just look at Doc Mullah! We need to go after the governments and organizations that give these sickos the training and support to commit their heinous acts.

We'd be way ahead in this game if the other countries stuck with us and abided by the terms of their own UN resolutions.

Like I said in another thread. At least if this is their best shot they are being reduced to a bunch of vandals by US and Brit efforts.
Keep the heat on is the only answer.

 

[eek.]

Dangerous Vandals is all these terrorist guys have ever been.

However, by blowing their effectiveness hugely out of proportion Governments can use them to justify all sorts of nonsense and BS to the sheeple.

Look at you guys, now you're stuck in Iraq forever, the Pat. Act, and a zillion security guys with huge budgets to blow on stuff all across America.
It's a kinda job creation scheme.

What you say has some validity and I know where your coming from,but an attack like this hurts the free market economies all over the world that means my portfolio as small as it is.
And these thugs and the countries that love them must be dealt with harshly like a little regional global warming at about 2000 degrees farenheit.

It's amazing how strongly we react when a suicide bombing happens to us, yet we don't care that it happens every day in Iraq.

Who the hell is saying we don't care????????????? Get a freakin clue.

I was including myself in that statement too. Neither I, nor anyone else, goes out and starts creating threads every time there is a suicide attack in Iraq that kills 50 people. Yet today there are hundreds of posts related to the attack in London.

Yes and by the same people who attack NY and London.

any suicide attack, especially one that PURPOSELY targets civilians should be condemned. And it should also be BLAMED on the people who carried out the attack, not shifted to Bush, the US, Britain or someone else's policies or other actions that "forced" them to do it.

For sure. I was only saying that we should care a little bit more about the people who we are supposedly trying to help who are getting blasted on a daily basis. Right now no one seems to give a shit. All the debates focus on what WE should do, not what would end up working out best for the people of Iraq. This mindset will continue to leave us a step behind the game over there. It's time for the Iraqis to run their own show. I see lots of editorials by conservative and liberal columnists both who say that the Iraqis need to step up and start taking control of their own destiny. The implied reasoning goes something like "we came over here, bombed the shit out of your country, took down Saddam and left a power vacuum, and now it's time for you to step up and fill the vacuum. We'll be over here driving convoys if you need us, just don't expect us to help much because we are too busy trying not to get blown up ourselves". So I say, why don't we just get the hell out of there and really give them a chance to control their own destiny. Who knows what will happen? We won't find out until we take their training wheels off. As long as we are seen as running the country no legitimate democracy will emerge. We have whetted their appetite for democracy, and that's all we can do.

I guess the only flaw in this strategy is that now that we have allowed the country to be overrun by radical Islamists, we have created a new haven for terrorism, which a new government would be unable to address because it would be too busy trying to get the country up and running. So if we left, terrorist attacks against Iraqis would probably tail off, but it would free up the terrorists who are now in Iraq to plot against us. But I think that's our burden to bear since it was our decision to re-make the country in the first place.
