Then we would not only be safe from terrorism but all those whingers who love the queen plus all the royal family and their hangers-on, plus tony blair and his clique would all leave for another country and everyone here could live in peace, love, harmony and happiness?

It is really sad we cannot take a vacation or return from a vacation because of all of these terrorist attacks especialy all of the things happening in Heathrow airport to protect people's livelyhood and the US from being blown to peices. What can we do to make this all go away?

Planes leaving the UK and flying to the USA would have had a large proportion of passengers from both countries. Some British tourists etc flying to the States but also a lot of Americans returning home from European Holidays, business trips etc. Do you think the terrorists were trying to strike at Britain or at America - or both countries? I'd say both.

I went to the back room where my grandma watches tv and I didn't even know what the world trade center was (i was 13). I saw the first plane crash, and then to my horror, the next, and then 2 more after that. I was really scared and didnt want my dad to go to work that day.

Why do so many Muslim posters insist that 9/11 was an American set up, that Muslims never kill civillians, that this lastest foiled plot is a "set up by British police" etc etc.

Why can't they accept that these things have been indeed done by muslims.

You cannot possibly dispute that the Londond bombings on 7/7/05 were done by Muslims in a "jihad" against the West as the perpetrators are actually ON VIDEO bragging about what they are going to do and why they are doing it!! So that one cannot be disputed.

I find it offensive that these people still try to convince themselves and others that Muslims "couldn't have done it" - its also a little pathetic. It must be hard to have this sort of thing to face up to and maybe face that your religion is not what you thought it was but its a big insult to those who have died.

All this talk of "Zionist Conspiracy" is pure rubbish. Its just as bad as Nazis claiming the Holocaust never happened!!!

LONDON - British authorities said Thursday they thwarted a terrorist plot to simultaneously blow up several aircraft heading to the United States using explosives smuggled in carry-on luggage. Security was raised to its highest level in Britain, and carry-on bags were banned on all flights. Huge crowds backed up at London's Heathrow airport as officials searching for explosives barred nearly every form of liquid outside of baby formula. All the flights were headed to Washington, NY and LA .... UA, AA, Continental flights

CNN has a poll up on its homepage asking "Which issue facing the U.S. do you think is more important?
-Terrorism
-Gas Prices
And surprisingly the poll is nearly a tie. 38000 so far chose terrorism while 37000 chose gas prices!!! Unbelievable. Do Americans really think terrorism is just fading away or is it just that they truely think gas prices are more important to them? I dont understand. I would think the most important and vital response would have been terrorism. Gas prices are out of control right now but it hasnt stopped people from going out and getting an SUV. So whats the deal. Anyone who chose gas prices needs to get thier priorities straight. Terrorism is a threat to our lives and other peoples lives. Innocent people. Gas prices are not especially if you are not changing your personal habits to help yourself. If you havent heard a terror plot was just foiled in Britain. What happens if the next one isnt foiled because some dont think its important?

--
Question context:
--
I'm sure many of you have been following today's ongoing story of the foiled bomb plot in the UK.
-
Looking at some of the official government rhetoric describing the plot and particularly the quote in the question title, do you not think that this wording is possibly 'amplified' to instill a sense of fear in the citizen population? Fear whose influence may or may not lead to future public backing of new or existing anti-terror policies/interventions by the UK government?
-
I am not denying the fact that these terrorists exist and that they need to be dealt with, and I am all for tackling radicalism in our communities with and from all ends of the spectrum, but at the same time I'm aware that our governments are no angels either and that there are often hidden agendas.
Lond story to make a short point...sorry about that.

So what do you think?

Anyone want to join me in applauding our Security Services and Police, for the superb job that they did in preventing another attempt at mass murder by "some terrorists"

our apartment complex. There is gang activity in the town I live (pretty big town) and last night two guys (white and in their 30s -- my son saw them) drove through the complex and shot at vehicles. The sheriff did come and they said it was probably some kind of BB gun and yet this morning I noticed two vehicles (SUV size and their windows in the back were totally shattered). How could that be from a BB gun? I don't know much about guns but I'm pretty sure these weren't BB guns. Do you know anything about guns (are there POWERFUL BB guns?). I just can't imagine. It's a very quiet complex where we live -- this thing doesn't happen where we live -- it was strange.

Where are their pictures? Why do we continue to call these radical Muslim Arabs, "British nationals," instead of what they really are?
Why do we not call them Islamofascists instead of "of Asian origin?" Asian origin means Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc. These boys are from the Middle East and they were Arab Muslim TERRORISTS.
Let's call it what it is and show their ugly, Western-hating faces on television, shall we?

I'm 29 and it has come to my attention that for younger people, under 21 that the girls are getting all the encouragement. Girls outnuber guys at college thanks to Affirmative action of the 80's and 90's. People cheer on girls more at sporting events, etc. Guys are being encouraged to wear pink and be effeminate, dress like they're gay etc. Guys are starting to lose power and just stay at home and raise kids.

the situation is getting pretty tensed right there in Lebanon. The whole world is talking about it. Most are against it but few still trying to be on Israel side? What's goin on to our world now? First it was in Iraq, Afghanistan and may be more to come.... most of us didnt get the chances to speak up our mind n our hearts regarding this. So it's time to speak up and tell the world what do u think of this war thing! Whose fault is it?
