BOMB BOMB BOMB BOMB! kill kill kill... i say do what needs to be done, and cant be botherd forming a hardout opinion because...

no matter what i do and say, it aint gunna change nothing, we are all just nobodies living in a nobody town.  However i dont think we are really at risk, or if we are, im happy to bet nobody comes near us, it aint worth the goddam petrol to come all the way over here and bomb us, letalone the cost of a bomb!

and if some crazyman really thought it was, who cares, ill be seein you all in the deep dark dungeons

[Coldkiwi]

you reckon?

I think the most effective form of terrorism would be to hit the smallest, most lovely, least offensive to anyone town you can find. Shatter the idea that the safest place is safe and you've got yourself a wee bit of panic setting in.

i wouldn't worry about the bombing/killing. With the US military there'll be plenty of that going on. I wonder how many of their own they'll kill?

Just a quick joke...

I'm normally all for sending in the guns and bombs if a nation decides to get a bit cheeky, but the whole general middle east thing has been going on with no sign of resolution since the creation of the state of Israel. You can see why...it was the homeland of the Jews, yet they didn't have a country to call their own home, but it wasn't necessarily the smart thing for the Brits/Yanks to just hand over some land that wasn't theirs in the first place. 60 odd years of intervention by the West has done stuff all of nothing (except maybe prevent the whole region from turning into radioactive glass...there's an idea!), what makes anyone think another 6 month campaign in Iraq will solve anything?
Keep out of the middle east, it ain't our problem or our business anymore...
Then again, if it's just about the oil, and they're prepared to admit that, then fire away...

Just my $0.02 anyway.

Bush is a joke....

Bin Laden has achieved all that he wanted with one major attack.

Did someone mention Vietnam...?

Did someone mention Vietnam...?

Another classic case of a U.S. self-serving f***-up.Ho Chi Minh was helped by the C.I.A. when it suited them.They now finally admit that the Bay Of Tonkin incident,their excuse for the eventual killing of 2 million Vietnamese,was a total fabrication.The country`s heart bleeds for the poor guys sent out there while the "Gook" women and kids they slaughtered along with those fighting to defend their country are just seen as an embarassment.1 guy got 18 months "confinement to camp" as a result of the only time anyone went to court for war-crimes over there,chief amongst the cover-up one Colin Powell.No compensation,no apologies,no regrets.The U.S. wiped it`s big fat arse on the Geneva Convention then as they have now,the culprits from those days never had to explain themselves let alone attone,Kissinger even got the Nobel Peace prize for fucks sake.
Bush and his bitch were going to have their war no matter what anyone said and at least in this country have met with nothing but contempt and disgust ever since.
I feel really sad for the Brit troops in Iraq at least,despite what pinnochio Blair says those poor bastards are doing a shit job with zero public support.When ships come into port where I live in wartime there`s always been a big fuss made,parades,saturation media coverage e.t.c.This time round they just slink in and out and you`ll rarely get any serviceman to say where he`s been unless you ask directly.Some of their families have been in the local press saying how stressed these guys get,going somewhere they`re not wanted then coming back to hostility against what they`ve risked their lives for.

I agree. The "war on terror" was lost before it was started. Airline security,Patriot acts, bombers under the bed. Got the entire middle class world trembling iin their socks, with fears, mainly, of their own making! - shit, theres more chance of being hit by a bus, than being killed in a terrorist attack. As Benjamin Franklin (one of the "founding fathers" of the USA) said - "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty or safety..."

Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and the other Founding Fathers must be turning in their graves at the travesty that their noble ideals of liberty and democracy have become in Bush's America. In the context of their 18th century struggle against oppression and their rebellion against cultural and economic hegemony they were closer to Bin Laden than to Dubya.

At least it's encouraging to see that most Britons are too intelligent to be taken in by American propaganda, and Blair's retribution is just around the corner. And for everyone who delights in throwing brickbats at Helen, you have to admit that her/our stance on Iraq has been an admirable combination of principle, expediency and common sense.
