Six Bomb Blasts Around Central London
M3rk1n_Muffl3y writes "There were six explosions around London this morning. Information is still emerging, but looks like there were bombs detonated on a bus near Russel Square and several others on the Underground around the City and King's Cross. It's been difficult to reach people on their mobiles."
This explosion and the tragic deads and casualties just shows how dangerous are the arguments of Mr. Bush and his camarilla. Was not the war vs terror supposed to create a safer world? Were we not defeating all the terrorists where they were hiding? Were not we winning?
Of course not. Such "wars" cannot ever be won. The extremists in both sides will always continue to have reasons for this horror. And always strike back on their terms.
The sad thing is that it is always innocent civilians (in London, Irak, Afganistan and young americans) those who die.
Sad day, (as sad as when a bomb goes off in Irak, but then it gets much less media coverage)...
Of course, their version of the self-hating left would ask:
"Why do those lunatic Christian fundamentalist wackjobs hate us and how can we change to accomodate their demands?"
At least that's what a significant chunk of Western opinon bleats out every time something like this happens...
The best method to rid the world of these insane fanatics is to kill them at the source.
How about just outlawing something as arcane, ignorant, and hateful as religion? Religion's at the heart of almost all violence these days (note that George Bush is an Evangelical Born Again Christian, thus the slaughter in the Middle East).
With all the humanitarian work that's been happening in the last weeks, you'd think that malcontents would be a little less belligerent. Progress is being made.
You don't get it yet, do you? The perpetrators of the London bombings, the Madrid bombing, the Istanbul bombing, the Bali bombing, and the 9/11 attacks aren't interested in "humanitarian work" or in "progress". They are interested in defeating the West and putting it under fundamentalist Islamic rule. They have never made any secret of it.
All employees must wash hands before seeking equitable relief.

I truly believe that if we left Iraq tomorrow, the insurgency would collapse in a short time because they'd have no real reason to exist.

That logic is so flawed it's almost sad.
We were attacked first. WTC Bombings... USS Cole... Misc Embassy Bombings, and then the WTC collapse. Hey, and guess what. We were not over there at all!!!
The fact is, their object is to destroy all infidels... since we're not muslim, or restrict women, or who the fuck knows what else... then we are on their shit list. Period.
Why we shouldn't leave? It's like bribery. If I have dirt on you, and I ask for money, and you keep paying up, then I'll just keep asking for more and more.
If we roll over and do as they say because of a bomb, then they'll see that as a working avenue. So anytime they want something, they blow up and kill a lot of people, demand, and receive. Then do it again when something else is needed...
There's no reasoning with people willing to blow themselves up....

To understand why some Muslims kill their neighbors you have only to read the Koran. You don't need to blame politicians and secret conspiracies. Find the Koran online and search for the words 'unbeliever' and 'punish' and 'kill'. Read the Koran's instructions on how faithful Muslims should treat non-Mulsims. In a few examples out of many:
Koran - Time [76.4] Surely We have prepared for the unbelievers chains and shackles and a burning fire.
Koran - The Immunity [9.5] So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush
Koran - The Victory [48.6] And (that) He may punish the hypocritical men and the hypocritical women, and the polytheistic men and the polytheistic women, the entertainers of evil thoughts about Allah. On them is the evil turn, and Allah is wroth with them and has cursed them and prepared hell for them, and evil is the resort.
Fundamentalist Mullahs and Imams use this dogma to teach the gullible that jihad, killing infidels, is the only sure way into Paradise.
You've got to be fucking kidding me.
As a Texan I'd rather have another civil war to get rid of idiots like you than attack another country to "feel safe"
How was liberating Iraq and eliminating a tyrant an overreaction?
