As if folks werent already bent around the axles about the london
bombings.. here is something to stir the pot a bit.. ..if you
weren't confused or angry before you will be soon. Check out
what someone's done [who?] to 'help' out..
Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel much like the main bad guy in the movie "Codename: Swordfish"; if we made terrorism so punishable that the world would be shocked by the retaliation to it, it would logically decline, but then again, people who believe that God is telling them to kill others are definately NOT logical (at least to the average person).
In any case, I wish they would go meet Allah without taking my family with them.
Most middle eastern countries. You kill them the same way they are killing other people. :rolleyes: I would use nukes, but I'm not the president...But really they should start bombing the religious mosques and stuff.
This is getting bad. Teroris tried to attack again on 4 different locations.
What is even worster is, one of the attack happend on the bus which I usually take to work.
Unfortunately this guy run a way, hide somewhere between my work place and my recant home. Police is searching for him.
Hope they get them :evil:
Hi... I live on the edgeware rd... I know how you feel... We have made a song 'SPIRIT OF LONDON' to help the victims of 7/7... amybe you could support us... ? Please visit www.spiritoflondon.co.uk
The london bombings were bad enough, but did you guys follow the eight serial blasts that took place in Mumbai? The police have arrested some people so far and guess what: they turn out to be 20-25 year old muslims who have been so brainwashed by propaganda that they can see nothing else. Osama and his croonies may be singing and partying at this mindless destruction. But what about the families of the people killed in these blasts? What about the newly married girl who lost her husband on the second day of their marriage? Hell, what about the aged mother who lost her only wage-earning son? I say talks should go on. I'm a firm believer in that. However, terrorist camps, especially in Pakistan (Im not ranting here. The FBI has evidence of such camps too) should be dismantled ASAP. So should the camps in India (yes, we have a few too) Once you can get the extremists and their propaganda spreading institutions out of the way, I'm pretty sure peace talks will be successful.
I agree, goldeagle2005; that's where the "extreme retaliation" option is useful. Complete obliteration of those terrorist camps and all who train there. The message would be clear: no more terrorism, or face complete destruction. Then we would all benefit from peace negotiations.
The root cause of today's so called terrorism is simply a consequence of such unjustified "punishments". A person becomes a suicide bomber only after seeing atrocities committed on him, on his family and on his community. And when he knows the world wont listen to him or wont give him the justice he so wishes to see he simply wants to give "something back" to the perpetrators. Then again the victim is weak and the criminals are untouchables. So he will simply go for civilians.
In fact terrorists are people like goldeagle2005 and wizmonster, who simply believe violence is the way to solve problems. If you destroy one terrorist camp, another will spring up in another place. Only in the process of doing so you will kill and wound another 100,000 civilians and the relatives of those victims will "retaliate" back at you. You will just end up recruiting even more terrorists.

It would mean complete destruction of Israeli and US military too!
They are the real terrorists.
Your so called "unjustifiable punishments" are in retaliation to the barbaric attacks the extremists perpetrated in the first place. Tell me. Why did the people who perpetrated the attacks on London and in Mumbai do so? Did they undergo atrocities? If yes, why punish the innocent people who are just earning their daily livelihood? Because, as you say

That has got to be the lamest argument I have ever heard. Who gives them the right to kill others and destroy property just because he has been tormented? I'm all for justice. So let this terrorist find the people who did torment him and exact his revenge there. Leave innocents out of it. Because if this terrorist really believes that killing thousands of innocents will be worthwhile revenge, he deserves to be brought down...hard

If the victim is weak, as you say, how does that explain his guts to kill civilians and destroy property? Such a victim (if a terrorist can be called that) is not weak in the sense that he cannot avenge himself on his tormentors, he is a weakling and a coward, in every sense of the word, and deserves whatever punishment he gets. Killing innocent victims is not bravardo or a sign of strength, it's the biggest sign of cowardice and his own frailness.
