Oh how the hypocrisy
_____________
actually, skt, this kid from the heartland of radio free america has a great fucking point. i reckon you'll find after the crime scene investigation forensics (performed in three-inch heels and with plenty o' sexual tension) that all of the materials used to make the bombs were purchased at the selfsame stoke newington fresh and wild and detonated by a disgruntled troupe of jewish lesbian yoga teachers.face it.

(Jul 21 05, 07:57)certainly there's a lot of missing information at the moment. my hunch would be that these attacks are similar in style and motivation to the 'shoe bombings' that took place after 9/11. half copycat, half inspired by the previous attacks.
i think the motivation behind the two mindsets is the same or similar, despite the fact that the methods and tools used were very, very different. also, stem, i think you're closer to the truth than you think with your definition of suicide bombing. it's not like the ira, where the destruction was meant to be costly and inconvenient, nor is it quite like the seventh, when loss of life was clearly an aim. it's highly symbolic, this, and is more about a performance of ideology as death than death as ideology. na'meen?

every uk resident should write to Mr Blair and thank him for getting involved with a war that no one in this country wanted to get involved with in the first place and thank him that we now live in fear of terrorist attacks because of this.

So hey determinedmoth. You gonna get on para's case for her 'hunch' like you did with me and mine? Comon dude, none of this favoritism crap. If you're gonna rag on one person for something you'd better rag on the other for doing the same thing. If you don't I just have no respect for you at all, and you are barely at a +1 on my scale now.

a bomb goes off in london and some of you respond by squabbling like a bunch of hens.
pathetic.

this is what you said that i didn't like:
I think they'll find that the bombs two weeks ago were not from the same people as the ones today. The ones today (because they are so much smaller) are from amature anti-war tree huggers trying to boost the pressure on Blair and the war in Iraq when what they should be doing is pressuring Blair to increase his presence in Iraq 300% and saturate that fucking place to erradicate the extremists.

(Jul 21 05, 07:36)sentence one is obvious.
sentence two is right about the amateur bit, but implies that it's anti-war protesting rather than participation in the war (which, to whoever perpetrated this, i imagine it is). the other big problem i have with sentence two is that bit that comes after 'should' cos i think it's small-minded and a very u.s.-centric way of looking at a problem that, for people in the u.k., is much more complicated and problematic than people in the states tend to realise.so, in my opinion, i didn't say the same thing as you at all. nor did i say it in a self-righteous tone punctuated with bellicose 'face its'.

These bombings weren't happening in London before joining the war and they will continue as long as we fool ourselves into believing the war on terror can be won.
It's kinda like that other false and senseless american invention..the war on drugs.

(Jul 21 05, 08:32)Two things though.
Para didn't suggest that anyone not in complete agreement with her was somehow mentally inferior.
She didn't finish her post with Face it.

it was just a little bomb sputnik.
we've got two novice detectives inspecting the crime scene as we speak. Young Garret has a tree-hugger theory and Paras thinks that these were purely shoe terrorists.

"every uk resident should write to Mr Blair and thank him for getting involved with a war that no one in this country wanted to get involved with in the first place and thank him that we now live in fear of terrorist attacks because of this."
at the very least the hundreds of thousands that demonstrated against it including myself.
- garettwest0
Oh sorry, I see para. I'm mistaken then, this isn't the work of tree huggers but the work of wanna be terrorist shoe bombers.
Ok. Sorry. My bad dear.

(Jul 21 05, 08:37)in jest or sarcasm, that's not even remotely amusing.
some of you clearly have no concept of violence close to home.
