Certainly not!!! I completely agree that it is the stupidest form of war EVER! I speak as a person who grew up in Northern Ireland during the height of the IRA's terrorist campaign and I still think to this day that anyone who thinks terrorism is a smart move has to be the stupidest a-holes on the planet. Would you give in to someone who's trying to muscle you out of whatever your situation when you've got a huge army at your disposal? Sort it out Al-Quieda cos your a bunch of knobs who aren't getting your own way so your acting like little kids, throwing all your toys out of your pram and wanting everyone to give in to you so that you terrorise others in your own back yard. Imagine the state of the planet if Bin-Laden was in charge. No thanks...

Agreed. The good news for the UK is that we are better prepared because of 30 years of terrorism. Though you still can't stop a couple of disillusioned kids walking onto a metro that carries 3 million passengers a day with a rucksack full of fertiliser.
Question: why did the IRA always try to avoid killing citizens with bombs. Answer: because they knew that doing so would impact the US sympathy and dry up their sponsorship.
Terrorism is not war, it is a terrible crime often implemented by citizens of the same country because of political reasons. The battle has always been intelligence, surveillance and stopping funding - so why are we fighting a war in Iraq?

Oh young Willie Mc Bride i cant help wondering why
Do those that lie here know why they did die
And did they believe when they answered the calls
Did they really believe that this war would end wars
For the sorrow the suffering the glory the shame
The killing and dying was all done in vain
For young Willie Mc Bride its all happened again
And again and again and again and again.
This is the last verse of probably the best anti war song ever recorded by The Furey Brothers and Davy Arthur. The song is called The Green Fields of France

behind 9/11 this is another terrorism.
I am truly disgusted to my heart and in my mind I see nothing but hatred for the people who sat around discussing how they would burn the body of this beautiful young lady after they had finished gang-raping her at the point of their guns.
Not to mention the ruthless murder of the rest of the family to "clean-up" the evidence.
This cannot be excused or tolerated. Truly my anger has again intensified for the horrible atrocities that the United States continues to commit.
All of you Americans are responsible for these atrocities and those of us in the allied nations must also take this call to do more to force our governments cease the support of this heinous crime against the peaceful Arabs who have never caused us any harm.
This horrific crime and many others committed by the U.S. invaders in Iraq must not be buried.
I call on world leaders, politicians, and above all, Americans themselves, you owe it to yourself and every one of the thousands who died in Iraq over the past 3 years- Speak up against these atrocities.
It’s become glaringly evident that the U.S. “noble mission” to bring Iraqis stability and freedom has only caused more destruction and pain. The Iraqis don’t want your liberation Mr. Bush.
This mission is simply based on a lie.
The latest crime involving the rape of an Iraqi lady and killing her family constitutes, in my opinion, one of the greatest scandals tarnishing the image of the U.S. occupiers in Iraq.
The endlessly repeated claim used by Bush to justify his unwise and unjustified decision to occupy Iraq, that Saddam possessed a vast arsenal of weapons of mass destruction, and that he’s connected to Al Qaeda ghost has turned out to be false. But people seem to have forgotten that, as I find some still listening to Bush’s speeches, where he boasts about the “Great Success” the U.S. military is achieving in Iraq, and the non-existent democracy he installed in the country.
Killing and torturing civilians is what the U.S. does in Iraq, and lies are the basis on which it built its policy there. And by placing a puppet government, the suffering of the Iraqi people is likely to continue, for the U.S. interests will be what determines every political move Iraqi leaders take.
what of this?

I have to correct you, terrorism is not a form of war, it is mass murder.
We know what these murderers look like, what religion they have, where they are coming from and which countries they visit. However the race industry with their cries of racism, political correctness and stupid laws prevent us from eradicating the problem at home. It is easier to send troops to attack Saddam and other irrelevant leaders and be seen to be doing something spectacular.

I can't believe that the Islamic Suicide Bombers are Cowards. It must take a lot of nerve to go blow yourself up - unless you have been deep Brainwashed and Indoctrinated and given Drugs. Now people like Osama are probably cowards - but that is no different than our Pentagon Generals who sit behind desks in Washington.

just to throw a flip side to the argument, one persons terrorists are anothers freedom fighters.
Che Guevara was technically a terrorist in american eyes yet he liberated half of south america.
We need to look at the reasons why a person would be willing to strap a load of explosives to them and override their innate reflex to protect their own life. Then and only then can we see the atrocities in their full context

I completly agree with that. I am a supporter of the war also. I feel that if we pull the troops out of Iraq they will attack us again , and if we keep them in Iraq maybe we can change their minds about that stuff.

Osama Bin Laden's aide Ayman al-Zawahri said in a videotape that London will face more attacks because of Prime Minister Tony Blair's foreign policy decisions.
Al-Zawahri's remarks, aired Thursday by an Arab TV channel, were delivered one month after the July 7 attacks in London, in which 56 people were killed.
Bin Laden's deputy didn’t say that al-Qaeda was responsible for the July 7 or the July 21 bombings, but said that those attacks stemmed from Blair's decision to invade Iraq.
"Blair has brought you destruction to the heart of London, and he will bring more destruction, God willing," he said.
In London, Downing Street refused to comment on the videotape.
Some critics, including British MP George Galloway, said that Iraq war led to the recent attacks in London.
But Blair denied that the bombings were related to Iraq.
Al-Zawahri also warned the United States of more military casualties in Iraq if it doesn't withdraw its forces from the war-torn country.
"What you have seen, O Americans, in New York and Washington and the losses you are having in Afghanistan and Iraq, in spite of all the media blackout, are only the losses of the initial clashes.
"If you continue the same policy of aggression against Muslims, God willing, you will see the horror that will make you forget what you had seen in Vietnam," he said.
Al-Zawahri also said the Bush administration was repeating the "same lies they said in Vietnam .. .that they are bringing freedom."
"There is no way out of Iraq without immediate withdrawal, and any delay on this means only more dead, more losses," he said.
"If you don't leave today, certainly you will leave tomorrow, and after tens of thousands of dead, and double that figure in disabled and wounded."
In the video, al-Zawahri, dressed in a white tunic with black turban, also warned other countries to leave Muslim countries to avoid more violence.
He said those countries ignored a three-month "truce" that Bin Laden offered for European states in April 2004 to give them time to pull out their forces from Iraq.
"Instead (of accepting the truce), you spilled blood like rivers in our countries and we exploded the volcanoes of wrath in your countries."
"Our message is clear: you will not be safe until you withdraw from our land, stop stealing our oil and wealth and stop supporting the corrupt rulers," he said.
In June, al-Zawahri appeared in a videotape criticizing the U.S. concept of reform in the Middle East.
The Egyptian-born mastermind is believed to be Bin Laden's aide and to have been hiding in the troubled border areas of either Pakistan or Afghanistan.
