Explosions in London

My thoughts are with those in London.  

It wasn't the first time London has been hit and it sure won't be the last.  

I understand that they're still clearing Kings Cross tube tunnels with rumours of fatalities in the tunnels.

Terrorists dont care about the content of the G8 meeting.. but terrorists DO care about media exposiur...

The G8 has drawn the attention of almost all of the worlds medias to the UK and all the leaders are in the UK. Its right next door to where all the leaders are, its damn close, and its in a media exposed area of the world. So yeah the terrorist would care about the G8 in that aspect.

Though UK beeing the "next target" really isnt a suprice given the political history the UK has over the last 10s of years, beeing brothers in arms with the US.

Agreed,
Londoners in particular much to their credit have shown a certain..knack for lack of a better word  of taking this sort of thing in stride.

From the blitz in WWII to the IRA and other assorted terror attacks since.

These people have alot of heart

Condolences to the families of those killed by these barbarians. Best wishes for the full and quick recovery of those injured.

I fully agree that this is a G8 related situation. The Olympic announcement couldn't be the target as no one knew that London would get the nod on it and France was the front runner.

This IS a wakeup call regarding the Olympics however. They have shown the ability to set up multiple attacks in a Western Country and do not think they will ignore the Olympics. Where else will you get the collection of world population but the Olympics.

Unfortunately you cannot simply carpet bomb the muslim countries as that would place us at the same level as they. There is another situation as they ones most likely to commit attrocities like this would simply scurry away from the front like cockroaches and go somewhere else to hide unitl safe to come out.

Until the muslim clerics come out in a united denunciation of this type of barbarism as an afront to islam, the terrorists will continue to claim support of the "faithful" and of course God as their justification for this type of action.

In general I do agree with you... but be carefull about your definition of "These people"... its not the people... its an extreamly small group of people...

Generalization is one of the worst mistakes one can make...

Bad news indeed. Thank god my wife moved out of there a year a go and came to lovely Birmingham. Got a few freinds down there who we haven't heard from yet so a bit worried.

Somehow I don't think the bombers have made a wise move. We are a bit stubborn us Brits and have put up with this kind of thing many times  before. One thing we do have a fair bit of experience with is fighting terrorists!

Sad day.:(

This has another aspect to it.

The terrorists dont have the support of the population in the mid east. Though if their countries get agressed by western world countries then the public opinion against the western world counties will get worse, this in turn rendering more support for millitant groups.

The single worst thing that can happen is terrorist groups or organizations tied to terrorist groups gaining support amongst the population.

terrorist definitly have the lowest form of violence.
And they think it is heroic.

If people and politics really want to get rid of terrorists then they have to go down to roots of terrorism; what makes teenagers to join terrorist groups and blow up busses etc.

I think its due to being spineless bananas, but then again it could be some psychotic mental condition.

I used to agree with that line of thinking but in not generalising these people and in picking and choosing has gotten us this so far.

Im bout ready to say screw it and as the saying goes "let god sort em out"
  I've bout had it with all the P-footing around we do with these people. Time for them to prove to US they want to live in peace and kill or turn over the extremists or they all pay the consequences.
