I think there is little need to worry about the "West" (Blair, Bush, etc) going off on a tear and indiscriminately bombing nations in the Middle East in a "Holy War" in response. The "West" has proven itself better than that.

However, I would imagine both overt and covert operations against "insurgents":rolleyes:  and terrorists will likely step up at least a couple of levels.

There will likely be "something to see" like the large scale open operations aimed at "al Queada in Iraq" and their cohorts.

It will be what you DO NOT see that will be what is really stepped up. The SAS and other British units, and US special forces, along with other nations quietly sending their elite forces into mostly covert operations in places you've likely never heard, and may never hear of. You won't hear much about it unless they happen to take out a well known major terrorist asset.

I don't think any of the nations truly united against terror can afford to take this lying down, and I doubt any of them will.

I would not be surprised to see al Queada et al attack soon in the UAE, since the UAE has been hitting them hard. They'll HAVE to hit back soon, and hard, for their own image and gratification.

With the announcement moments ago of the execution of an Egyptian official in Iraq, I look to see the terrorists further damaging support for their "cause" in even the most devout Muslim countries in the Middle East. They have become more and more indiscriminate in who they target, and openly target other Muslims with ever increasing frequency. If they continue, I think any support they have in the general population will shrink in direct proportion to their attacks on Muslims and Arabs.

Why isn't the top group of AQ making sure this isn't getting out of their hands?
Actions used to be strictly against the US and co., either the increasing number of Arab casualties isn't a problem (which I don't see how it couldn't be), or they're really that dumb or out of touch (not likely either).

Am I missing something?  Seems like a big blunder or their part.  Singling out the US, and its closest afiliates before moving on to the next is a safer tactic.

The only reason to try to "understand" these people and seek the "roots of terrorism" is to better learn how to eliminate them from the planet without mercy.

Terrorists are no different than Hitler or any other of his ilk, other than the fact they do not have control of a nation and its assets.
These are not civilized human beings to be "negotiated" with. They do not want to co exist, they want to dominate, and rule with absolute power. They are not sane rational people who want to be understood.


I'll not debate this further in this thread, this thread is dedicated to our British friends who have suffered an attack on their innocent civilian population. I'll no longer participate in the hijacking of this thread, out of respect and support for them. I have friends in Britain that go back to my early days in Air Warrior, my concern right now is their safety and well being.

I hope all "our" people from this community are safe.
  Our thoughts are with you.
  These kind of cowardly acts, I beleive, have the exact reverse of the effect they are seeking. Instead of scaring people into submission, etc, they usualy unite people in their resolve to put an end to those groups responsible.

Sad, SirLoin....

Meanwhile, in the real world, here is a short quote from the terrorists claiming responsibilty.

"Rejoice, Islamic nation. Rejoice, Arab world. The time has come for vengeance against the Zionist crusader government of Britain in response to the massacres Britain committed in Iraq and Afghanistan," said the statement, which was translated by The Associated Press in Cairo.

Would that it were. One thing we are never short of around here is stupidity. It might be a top ten though.

Keep focused about what this thread is about.  There will be little tolerance for those who wish to use this for any other purpose than what it should be for.

My condolences to the people of London and Great Britain.  This act of cowardice is pathetic.
