What the fuck did London do to deserve being bombed?

Well, Britain did kind of participate in the war in Irak ... it's the only consistent idea I have for all of this.

[sydstar]

Yeah, but so what? Lots of countries did. And Iraq deserved all it got. Well, not the civilians...

I totally don't feel that London deserved these bombings in any way at all -- but the same argument can be made, England and the U.S. and just about every country on the face of this Earth "deserved all it got" but the civilians didn't. The unfortunate thing about the war in Iraq, and any war, really, but this one seems to do it in particular -- is that it continues the cycle of hate and violence. New terrorists are being formed because they saw their village destroyed and their loved ones killed and all they can think about is revenge -- and when something like this happens, the same immediate gut reaction we have is revenge. It's a constant cycle.

I read her post, and I am too. I have a lot of friends in England.

This is so not what I wanted to wake up to, today.

Terrorists need to tortured slowly and painfully....Until they've had enough suffering to account for every ounce of pain others suffered.

I'm at a point where Im almost tempted to go into the peace cor. that way I can go over and just be helpful to the innocent civilians who didnt do shit to deserve what they got.

Hmm mayhaps I'll join you... I hate terrorism more than anything else, because they always go after the innocents, and then after an attak when the millitary goes after the nation responsible, more innocent civilians are slaughtered and the terrorist group goes on to do more violence....

A year ago, when they announced that NYC was in the running for the 2012 Olympics, I said that I hoped we wouldn't get them because that would invite more terrorism into my hometown.

Looks like I was almost right.

Good call.
