Why do things like this happen when Brittens is winding down? Freaky.

"...the prime minister is being kept informed of developments and is expected to chair a meeting of COBRA. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobra_Organization)"

Blah blah blah stupid crap the public is safe so I wish the news would shut-up. Personally, I think there's something more to this one than terrorism. Something to try and help Gordon "Berian" Brown into power. If its the total opposite, then fair play terrorists. Seriously, it may not be mature of me or anything, but im sick of all this "terror" stuff. And im sick of the way its all reported too. But yeah, this attempt was pretty lame!

However, we have uncovered the mastermind behind this, 7/7 and 9/11. It is none other than our globe trotting (but conviniently trotting to almost exactly where these events occur at almost exactly the time they do occur) friend, Dave Gilbert!!

TEH OMG!!1

So he wasn't just trying to kill me, he was trying to kill evveerrryoone!!! lol tut tut

They had bombs, petrol, nails... they drove a car at high speeds into a busy airport terminal full of people.

And they didn't even injure a single person. In fact, it all happened opposite-style... an onlooker managed to swing a punch at one of them before the police grabbed him.

If I was one of those terrorists, I'd be pretty embarrassed right about now.

Didn't one of them catch on fire?

Idiot. Not much of a suicide.

It is a good thing that the terrorists are not so clever when it comes to killing innocent people.
Do you remember the bombing event in Ankara? ( http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/europe/05/22/turkey.explosion/index.html )
Well, many people died and got injured in that event; but there are MUCH more crowded districts in Ankara to eplode the bomb. They would kill at least 50-60 people if they were more intelligent.

This makes me think maybe their purpose is nor to kill as many as people, but to do 'specifical' things like the burning car.

Don't worry guys, these suicide bombers are a dying breed.

BAD-DUM-TSHH!!!

Hopefully they'll have suicided themselves out of existence by about 2009.

Every attack and kill has a purpose, so the thought that they want to kill as many people as they can is just plain stupidity affected by mass media. Despite that Bin Laden as a terrorist may not even exist, have you ever thought about what led people to destroy 2 big buildings crowded with people? Ofcourse you don't, you just sit in your office and consume the health of 3. world in every 5 minutes.

But come on, yesterday the Queen was in Edinburgh outside the Scottish Parliament with Alex  Salmond and they try to blow up Glasgow airport ??? I think if they were killed yesterday then Britain would fall apart.

Planned or not I don't see anything but brainwashed people trying to be murderers.

It would have to be quite a big explosion (diameter of 120 miles or so) to have got them there, though... :P ::)

Not every attack and kill has a purpose.

I have thought about what led people to destroy 2 buildings packed with people.

It doesn't excuse what they did.

Don't be so presumptious. be quiet. stop getting on your high horse.

All we're doing is laughing at a group of silly silly people who tried and failed miserably, to hurt a bunch of innocent women, men and children.

Shh.

Well, in the last week 9 spanish people have been killed by terrorists, 3 militars and 6 tourists. I think I have some right to talk...

I feel so much better knowing that they were people consuming the third world in every 5 minutes.

I hope they burn in Hell. Damn capitalist fascists.

I don't think it would.

When those terrorist attacks on 7/7 happened, we all just got on with it. All the Arabic news websites were reporting that Britain was in turmoil when in fact most people were just going about their normal business, a bit pissed off that the tube wasn't running. Some people were even pleased because the pubs they'd been hoarded into were told by the police to provide drinks for free so that nobody would leave.

And I have no idea who Alex Salmond is anyway.

OK, so Wikipedia has semi-reliably informed me that he is first minister for Scotland. But I don't know why his death would bring the entirity of Britain down - surely he only has very limited prominence south of the border?

Also, if he died at the same time as the Queen, I think his demise would be completely overshadowed; I doubt he'd have any significant effect on the outrage in the aftermath either.

Maybe I was a bit too extreme to say Britain would fall apart, but there would be serious implications. I am Scottish and I would feel angry if my first minister was killed and even more so if my Queen was killed. I honestly think that it would lead to another war "to top Iraq", maybe world war III. I think these terrorist attacks are getting so extreme and frequent that something is going to go ahead.

Ps I'm not for war just I think its got to the stage war is inevitable.

But who the heck would we attack? All that would happen is even further restrictions on personal freedom in the UK, and what a pain THAT would be.

Meantime, perhaps we should stop recruiting all these foreign doctors when there are 10000 British junior doctors out of work...?

Yeah well thats the question, but we have 3 or 4 of them so surely they are going to crack. And of course Britain will sort out immigration from now on ::)

I think that's the problem Bush got himself into. When faced with terrorism, governments will invariably look for a scapegoat regardless of whether they have anything to do with the attacks. It's just too easy to turn a police matter into an armed forces matter.
