I doubt it.
The Franciscans used to say "Give me a child before he is 7 years of age and he will be mine forever".
Our schools are set up to preach the "Libbie" doctrine, i.e., Appeasement, no competition, Political Correctness, Dumbing Down, Hate the System, Love the Entitlements, Big Government, etc.
Most Libbies don't even know who Neville Chamberlain was and how he failed England and the World.
Many of the teachers either don't know or don't care.
This has now carried over to the Universities and most of the Professors in the Universities are ultra leftist Libbies.
I suspect that we will have to endure a major successful Islam attack on our country before they will sit up and take notice.
It may be too late by then.

I'm a British liberal and I think this is a riduclous question.....Obviously we know Al Queida (sp?) is a Muslim terror group so it fits that 24 Muslims were arrested in connection with the plot....It still doesn't mean all Muslims are terrorists!
And by the way, Chamberlain followed an appeasement policy regarding Hitler and the Nazi party's actions pre-world war 2 because Germany was seen as a buffer zone between the UK and Russia, which was percieved to be the bigger threat at the time, so the comparison doesn't really fit. Also Geroge Bush is clearly a fascist, so who is it we should be acting against?

The arrests at Heathrow show that using intelligence and law enforcement angencies works - which is what Bush should have been doing before Sept 11th, perhaps by paying attention to the memo 'Bin Laden determined to strike inside US'. One doesn't need to turn to war as a first resort, as Bush does.
I strongly suspect that as more information emerges, you'll find a lot of these would-be terrorists were inspired by Bush's illegal invasion of Iraq. The British Muslim bombers of last year admitted in videos that they were. Bush has been al-Quaeda's best recruiting sergeant and has played into bin Laden's hands.

I am a proud liberal. I am not in favor of appeasement, and I already know who Neville Chamberlain was. But invading Iraq had nothing to do with al Qadea, except that it made it stronger. Raping the environment did nothing to make America safer. Keeping the minimum wage below the poverty line does nothing to foil our enemies. Making middle class people pay more taxes so the super-rich get even richer has nothing to do with security.
Bush is a disaster as a president in a multitude of ways - perhaps the worst in history - and our safety has not been a priority with him. REMEMBER that the Bushies ignored what the Clinton appointees told them about bin Laden being dangerous and they ignored clear warnings in August 2001 that terrorists were about to use airplanes as bombs. Bush presided over the greatest intelligence failure since Pearl Harbor. We would be much safer with a liberal in charge.

You've got to be kidding me. You are standing up for George Bush. Have you ever listened to one of his speeches? The guy can barely string together a sentence. I'd say Bush's stupidity and criminal foreign policies drove the World into the conflic we are in today. Don't get me wrong. The muslim extremists preaching lies and hate is horrible. Now that we are in this mess, I don't know how we get out. But I will say this the World was a better place when the States has a Democrat (libbie) in power. I miss Clinton!!!

You mean, does anyone give credit to Bush for what the British did? No.
Or if you mean, should we forget his willful violation of federal laws and betrayal of his oath of office because some of his allies are getting results (following their laws, BTW), then no.
As far as fascists. Fascist are those who follow a right-wing theory advocating an authoritarian hierarchical government (as opposed to democracy or liberalism). Terrorists are not fascists because they are not trying to create an authoritarian government.
But, if you look under the dictionary definition for fascist, you'll see a picture of somebody else very familiar. Somebody who is right-wing, authoritarian, anti-liberal, and someone who is trampling on the democratic values this country was founded upon by trashing the Constitution at every turn.
I know who Chamberlain was. And yes, he made some stupid and near-fatal mistakes. But at least followed the laws of his own country. Bush can't even claim that much.

You have to understand that Bush is the cause of the problem:
"More important, saying that Israel and the US are united by a shared terrorist threat has the causal relationship backwards: the US has a terrorism problem in good part because it is so closely allied with Israel, not the other way around. Support for Israel is not the only source of anti-American terrorism, but it is an important one, and it makes winning the war on terror more difficult. There is no question that many al-Qaida leaders, including Osama bin Laden, are motivated by Israel’s presence in Jerusalem and the plight of the Palestinians. Unconditional support for Israel makes it easier for extremists to rally popular support and to attract recruits."
From the following source:
http://www.lrb.co.uk/v28/n06/mear01_.html
By the same token, the UK support of US policies in the ME and elsewhere has made it a good target for terrorists.

George and Laura Bush confirmed in basic terms how the substitute of administrations could be achieved. They set a great occasion. i'm hoping in 4 years while Obama leaves workplace he will coach as plenty class.

I have... I think he is just the best president ever... in fact he has the same first name as that guy on the 1 dollar bill... I wake up everyday thanking God that we didn't choose a president that didn't act in the interests of big business... then we would have more money for schools to pay teachers community centers programs to help people and so many other things that would make the way of life for US better that sometimes I cry... well thank god that didn't happen....

No, Bush had nothing to do with this. This was intercepted by British intelligence, not American intelligence.
There have been Christian extremists who have blown up abortion clinics and killed homosexuals (and, mostly in prior decades, Blacks) in the name of their 'religious beliefs'. As a Christian, I would hate to be associated with any of these people, as I would assume the vast majority of Muslims would hate to be associated with terrorists.
To answer your root question, this hasn't done much one way or another to change my mind about Bush.
