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:

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.

Nukes are inefficient over large areas. Aerial dispersion of persistent nerve agent is cheaper and more effective.

Luckily the terrorists this time blew it :cheesy: and noone was seriously hurt.
As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.

a few years ago I would have said nuke em.. instead i think we should say:
Hussein.. funded his rise to power during the iran-iraq war..
Al-queda and Bin-Ladden.. funded them too.. when the russians entered Afghanistan..
Dont fund the future terrorists. Dont show them how to use weapons or provide them with them. They will use the money/weapons/training you provide on you in the end.

Instead provide medicine and food. Im sure the people will remember in the end.
Besides, who can argue with: "Why are you doing this? We gave you food and medicine when you need it most"

instead of: "Why are you doing this? We gave your
militant cartel revoloutionaries money and weapons so they could recruit your children for their causes and use them as expendable tools for their own militant goals. Were sorry your babies are dead, drugs and chaos fill your country and way of life.. ..its not our fault"

Im sure were training some little militant group in africa or south america.
we'll be talking about that in 10-15 years like we didnt know how or why
its happening all over again and this little militant group has so much power..
..Maybe Hati (again), some CAFTA nation, the congo, eritrea or south africa.. im sure all of these countries appreciate all of the meddeling and lack of genuine aid
we provide... ..often unsolicited.

Cain, you can never tell who is a "future terrorist".

Maybe you'll one day come to the conclusion that the only way to get your point across is to blow up something, does that mean noone should ever hire you for a job?

Bin Laden didn't receive any funding from the west (at least directly, organisations he was involved with during the liberation war in Afghanistan agains the Soviet invasion may have).
He doesn't need such funding as he has quite a bit of money of his own (estimated several hundred million, probably less now).
Saddam got funded by everyone at some point, first because he was opposed to the fanatics in Iran (who WERE funding terrorism at that time and still are today), later because there was money in it (oil sales to Russia, France, China, North Korea, etc.).

As a nation you support other nations (and groups in nations) that share your interests.
You can't tell what will happen with those nations or groups years or decades later.
I'm sure the Soviets would never have helped the Chinese in Korea if they'd known those same Chinese would a few years later use that equipment and training to attack the USSR in order to gain access to the mines and oilfields in Siberia (a war that lasted for over 20 years yet was never reported in the west despite involving at its height tens of thousands of troops on either side (making it an effort comparable to Desert Storm in size)).

Of course you can as a nation cower inside your own borders, but that's only a short reprieve as sooner rather than later someone will see you as weak and an easy target at which point your isolationism will have ensured you have no friends who'll come to your aid when that opponent (whom you would never see coming because you're not looking for it, thinking yourself safe inside your shell of false security) decides to strike.
As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.

The world´s problem boil down to politics (politicians), money, and overpopulation. Get rid of these and you start recovery...

You know, all of these london bombs make me wonder how well it's going over in Iraq. I mean, why would they be doing such a thing if they weren't really pissed off at supporting countries because they are getting beat. If supporting nations over there were getting beat, do you think they would still be doing this? Maybe I'm mixed up in my thinking.

Cain, these fundings you are talking about were indirect and incidental. First of all, we funded Sadam like this:

For a while we were giving to some charities..Millions and millions were given over time. Later we realized that instead of the proper people recieving it, it was Sadam secretely stealing the money from the charities. There was no way we could have known that at the time, and really nothing we could do about it but throw his smelly butt out of Iraq like we did. I'm not saying that was the cause of the war, by the way.

We funded Osama by giving him training. He was actually a well renowned person in his business though. No one suspected him of what he is now, or hated him like they do now. I don't know what made him hate the US, but something sure has. You know, if people want to come over here from other countries and recieve military training, a job, or whatever, they should be able to. There is no way to tell who is bad, and who is not.
