"too long;  didn't read"

First of all, I hope everyone in London is ok.  On a positive note it is good to see people of the younger generation actually giving a $hit about what goes on in the world and not about what is on sale at the frickin gap.  It is refreshing to see this as I have not heard such discussion since I was in college majoring in sociology.  Thank you for inviting my brain to function.  Take care all!

I realize the supposed "war on terror" has been put out as a christianity vs Islam battle, but nothing could be further than the truth.

Religion has very rarely motivated people to attack others, almost always money is what drives men and women to do these sorts of things.

Even the crusades, a supposed battle between two religions was nothing but a money and power fueled war.

If anyone actually (still) believes this war in iraq was one for freedom....you've got a long ways to go. Even bush admitted that one a while ago. The Iraqis at this point are worse off than in any 1 year period under saddam...thats a fact (100k+ civilians were never killed in a one year period. If things will improve...that is something everyone hopes for.

I'm not even going to being to mention that these crazy wahhabis from saudi are US and British funded and supported. These people have been killing actual muslims for years....its just now that they've begun on people from other religions.

Again, all our best hopes for the people in Britain.

my thoughts go out to all the folks in london and the rest of the u.k.
peace ya'll, keep your heads up.

You should be thanking George Bush and Tony Blair for having the Balls to stand up for a coward such as yourself!!!

it's real easy to have the balls to send other people to go fight your battles for you, but then again I guess you would know all about that since you aren't writing from a tent in Iraq. best think before you open your mouth son.

Take care guys..

Someday we will all watch these animals pay for their crimes.. :guns:

I don't remember a pre-Iraqi war terrorist attack on England, but I have a really bad memory. Was there one that I'm not aware of?

Well No 'Muslim' terrorist attacks. There was the IRA of course.

They did a fair bit of bombing London. This is one of the reasons the emergency services seemed to know exactly what to do; they's had a plan on the shelves for exactly this sort of thing for the past 20 odd years.

Also they had a fair go at eliminating the government on one occasion.

yeh, itl take more than a few misled radicals to screw with our stiff upper lip, and well done to the emergency services for a job well done, still waiting to hear about a friend who moved down there to work on the underground, not sure which part he was in though

To all the english riders sorry to hear about the second attack It really goes to show you how much gutter trash these terrorists are  :x but at least they failed to do any real damage this time which is good.
So stay safe and alert dont let the Bas***ds get you down  

Just a side note maybe beating the Aussies at cricket may be a dangerous thing :dunno:

its about time the bluddy police had a shoot to kill policy, 5 shots to the head of one of the arseholes, we should have had the american stance on terror, and get rid of this stupid human rights act, the police in this country can not do anything for the human rights shite.

     to those policemen this morning!

I dont understand.. Help me out..

I was under the belief that police in England didn't carry guns..
Now I hear about them putting FIVE bullets in a guy..

Have I been misinformed?

Your 'hood beat bobby will probably be unarmed as are most Brit police, however there are "tactical units" and a group call SO13 who probably did this that are armed as routine. Beat cops in certain sensitive areas have been armed for years, in the Embassy areas and around govt buildings, but the arms are normally concealed. A lot of the police here, where I am working are armed but it is rare to see a gun.

I am very happy to hear Ian Blair the met Police commissioner talking about "murder investigation" and "targeting criminals" rather than getting carried away on some abstract concept of "war on terror" I figure if they do what they are good at, detection, they may get somewhere, indeed already have.
