What the hell is going on in this world? why would a small group of deranged individuals want to cause so much pain and suffering to so many families, they need to start shipping these groups back to there own countries so we here in BRITAIN and the USA can all live in peace, its just all messed up here lately !

I don't want to hate them, but look at the latest terrorist plot that was thwarted - they were planning on mass murder!! How can I not help looking at an Arab, any Arab, and not trusting them? How do I know there not from some sleeper cell? This whole thing has me confused as to how to feel about the whole terrorist situation and current events.

Does this show that if terrorists eventually devise a bomb out of clothing materials, that airline passengers will have to fly naked or at least partially naked? Just kidding - but seriously - how long should the U.S. and its citizens continue to make decisions based on fear? Do you think, as a nation, our collective, reflexive actions based on rumors and isolated incidents have gotten expensive and out-of-hand, bordering on paranoia? Or are we starving the baby to save it from choking?
Thoughts please.

Why do people, al queda in particular, want to kill innocent people? What do they have against us? I am American, by birth, but we do not choose where we are born. Just as no one in this world does. I am happy I live in the U.S. but since I am an American, does that make it ok for others to kill me? What did we, innocent people, do to deserve this? Why?

In case you havent heard there were 21 people busted in Britan [ i believe] and they were planning on bombing 6-10 planes that were comming from Britan into the US. Woah can you image the damage that that would have done. 9/11 was already horrible with just those planes but image 6 - 10 planes!

Thank God they caught them before the country went up in flames.

Whats your feedback and reaction on the situation?

Do you think Britan and the US would fight together in a war against whoever planned the attacks seeing as even though they were comming into the US but it was British Airways that they were on.

Liquid explosives sit on bathroom shelves

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Chemicals sitting in anyone's bathroom at home could be used to make a bomb that would badly damage a passenger jet, and experts have been warning about this danger for years. Police said they foiled a plot on Thursday to blow up aircraft flying between Britain and the United States, and U.S. and British authorities banned liquids, including drinks, hair gels and lotions, from carry-on baggage.
"My hunch is that the reason they are prohibiting this stuff is that it does obviously have the potential of being assembled on board so that it doesn't look like a bomb going through the X-ray machine," said Alfred Blumstein, a criminologist at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh.
Such mundane items as nail polish remover, disinfectants and hair colouring contain chemicals can be combined to make an explosion and are not detectable by "sniffing" machines, which detect plastic explosives but are not used with all baggage.

I have a big problem. It has been foretold thousands of years ago of my second coming. now that I am here, I am seen as a mental patient where ever I go and nobody believes that I am God in flesh. I was sent down from heaven as it is time for me to release you from your sins but you are all ignorant sheep and do not want me to save you. You go and pray in churches, mosques and temples of all sorts, you all pray for the same God, me, yet when I am here, you want to put me in an asylum. May the wrath of YOUR FATHER be upon you. What will happen next?

There seems to be undisputable evidence, in my oppinion, that Iran will continue its nuclear programme and will be able to build nuclear weapons in 10 years or so. Iran already funds and supplies arms to terrorism in Lebanon and with a nuclear weapon.... well isn't that like letting Osama have a nuke??? Surely a war now would be better in the long term for peace and democracy?

Since now this thing with liquids explosives do you think a permanent ban on liquids is possible. One person could bring "water" another person some "milk" meet up on the plane then, BOOM!
