London hit by terror attack on the tube/busses

[Lord Thanos]

Fuck man, what the hell compells these terrorist fuckers to do shit like this? what the hell, if your life sucks that much that you rather blow yourself up, then fucking do it in the middle of nowhere or drink a fucking drano milkshake, don't take out innocent people with you

Am glad you and you're family are safe, my condolences go out to the families of those who perish in this tragedy

[Furism]

Oh yes, my post wasn't against you Eomer I'm just not sure that all that G8 stuff is really what they want us to believe. They'll just find another way to make easy money, and I hate the demagogy they display :/ Unfortunately, our countries wouldn't be as rich as they are if we didn't exploit poorer countries for the last 200 or so years.

Glad to hear you and yours are ok Bog.

"Sovereignty" be fucking damned, if they know where Bin Ladin is, it's more than past time to give him a goddamn bacon enema.

To them their life doesn't suck. To them they are killing the "great Satan" They beleive the western world is the antithesis of everything they stand for. They are lead to believe that killing themselves while killing the enemy will grant them special"gifts" in heaven.

Think about this.. In a sexually repressed society where women are hiden beneath veils, where you never see them.. And then you are told if you die killing the enemy you will be in heaven with 70+ virgins waiting to do anything you want... and have them pump this in your head from birth. Makes this world seem like something easy to leave, just push a button and you are in orgy town.

You know, I always thought, "What if they got this 72 virgin shit wrong? What if it was 72 greased up men waiting for the virgin, who happens to be you?"

Glad you're OK Bog.

It's a terrible day for sure. Not to be insensitive, but I don't think this incident was bad *enough* to truly bridge the gap between the US and GB. Certainly they now know first hand what we felt back in 2001, but this is thankfully nowhere near the 3k people we lost that Tuesday in September.

Count your blessings.

Because there never was any terrorist incident in GB before this one and the US is the first country ever to have had terrorist-related casualties.
Also terrorism is a dick waving contest and comparing the number of deaths and talking about "bridging the gap" makes sense.

With 33 dead (on CNN, maybe more, maybe less), 1000+ injured, 4 bombs in rail tubes, it really could have been just as bad or worse.

Glad to hear you and your family and friends are alright Bog

I think the Mayor of London's, addressing the terrorists directly, quote summed it up best for me:

"I know that you personally do not fear to give your own life in exchange to taking others ... but I know you do fear you may fail in your long-term objective to destroy our free society ... in the days that follow, look at our airports, look at our seaports and look at our railway stations ... you will see that people from the rest of Britain, people from around the world, will arrive in London to become Londoners, to fulfill their dream and achieve their potential … whatever you do, however many you kill, you will fail."

My thoughts and prayers go out to the UK and I am glad to hear you and your family are OK Bog.

There has never been a terrost attack by Al Qaeda in GB before. They have had a long history of issues with the IRA. Dick waving contest? You sir, are a fucktard.

There is a large gap between America, GB, and hell the rest of Europe over the way America looks at the war compared to everyone else. We've taken a proactive stance and taken a shitload of flak. This will bring GB closer to America in its views hopefully, bridging the gap. How much the divide will shrink is yet to be determined.

Either way, it's a bad day.

[Kildace]

I think you're wrong, but I'm not going to debate you in this thread, so whatever.

It will be interesting to see what the political fallout in the UK will be from this. I sure hope it doesn't turn out like Spain. I'm no fan of Bush or the Iraq War based on lies, but for fuck's sake, we started it, we need to finish it now.

Anyway, my heart goes out to London and the UK. All morning they've been saying it was only 2 dead, but a recent F5ing of the foxnews.com page now says 40+. Fucking chicken shit islamist fucks....

We didn't *start it*. Al Qaeda would have just found another reason to blow shit up, like, oh, not giving them everything they ever wanted or could want in the future.

Or hide your head in the sand like the gay ass spaniards.

Horrible day, and I'm absent of hope that all we know are safe, many are already dead. But it's a relief to see most involved went relatively uninjured due to the vigilant citizens of England, once again showing their mettle in the streets of London. Where other nations populous might flee in terror, theirs run directly back into the breach to save people they've never met. This is something alien to the people who commit such acts, and why we must fight to preserve it.

This cannot end until we stop deceiving ourselves about who's really responsible and where the money to commit these acts is really coming from. We are not talking millions of dollars but tens of millions, coming directly from the highest sources of governments who claim alliance with us. Your average martyr can't think 10 feet in front of him/her, nor provide for their families. They're given purpose and direction from a multitude of sources, none of which are ambiguous. Inevitably when the identities of these attackers are revealed it will show that most of them, if not all, had spent 90% of their life in the same 2-20 mile area and never had the wealth or means to carry out such attacks before heading to their destinations. On 9/11 it was very clear some of the Saudi royal family had a hand in our attacks, and no doubt the same will be true of this black day. This is a war of fundamentalism, an outright refusal to accept the modern world we cherish, and we can either start ending it now by cutting it off at the source, or watch as our grandchildren continue this bloody war of attrition. It's so much easier to ignore it, the sacrifices involved are incredible, but make no mistake, if the money stops, your average martyr goes back to sand farming. These are not well educated people who surround themselves in a cloak of faith as they would have you believe, they are men without hope, who are manipulated into thinking a better future for their family can be secured by serving another’s murderous beliefs. Tolerance is a virtue, but if history has taught us anything we have to uproot the source, twig and root, and stop going after their patsy.

But this really isn’t the time for this rant, I apologize. For now I really and truly hope you all find your loved ones safe and secure. And have no doubts that the vast majority of your descendants here in America and abroad have feelings that far outdistance "allies", for me and others it's more like hearing that one's brother has been attacked.

[Eomer]

We didn't *start it*.

This is not the thread to debate this, so I'll only say that if you honestly think that you really need to take some history lessons.
