Well, I suppose I'd better dedicate a few lines to this subject. Unavoidable after today's massive disruption to flights in and out of the UK, after a plot was foiled to blow up ten trans-Atlantic flights between the UK and the US.
Well done to whoever did that.
There is a heck of a lot of finger pointing going on at the moment as to whose fault it is. As I reported a few days ago, I had received some very negative feedback to a remembrance of the 9/11 victims. There seems to be this strand of opinion in the ascendancy that it's all America's fault. Don't think that is quite fair. Some say it's the fault of the Muslims. Not right either. I mean, President Bush coming out with Islamic Fascists as the root cause of the current evil is very unsophisticated to say the least.
In my opinion, as I've said before, terrorism has no face. It uses religion or previous historical strift as a front. But at the end of the day, there is no excuse. You're talking mass murder, premeditated mass murder. The excuse thrown up is that America is sponsoring Israel, which is bombing Lebanon (bad decision, that's exactly what those Hezbollah cranks wanted). Lebanon wasn't strong enough to shut Hezbollah up, which in turn is actually a front organisation for Syria and Iran. So by way of thanks, the country is now being smashed to smithereens. That really will be the road to peace, not.
So, because America backs Israel, Americans deserve to die, irrespective of who they are. And because Britain backs the USA, they are also legitimate targets - this all from the perspective of the terrorist. Again, religion is used as a pretext. But there is no justification.
I'm fed up with people saying it's Bush and Blair's fault. It's not, not wholly. The stupidity of both leaders is proverbial, in dealing with matters Middle Eastern. But things are being stage-managed from both sides. Why don't we hear about "it's all Abedinajad's fault" or "Assad's fault" or any of those terrorist leaders? Huh?
I've had enough of that bunch of idiots in the Mid East.
personaly i don't see how you can blame the president, the prime minster, or whoever is head of state. not for terrorism. terrorist don't really care who is charge do they? they are angry people who think they have a statement to make. and they will do this reguardless.

I thank whoever is responsible for averting a ghastly sequence of events, the visible and the invisible bodies who have ensured any citizen has been kept back from a horrendous experience, with unending after effects, world wide. It's high time some recognition was given to those who despite their best efforts, after all, they are only human...have managed and keep managing to stop the terrorists slaughter in UK.
ReplyDeleteYou can only blame the ones who are guilty of planning, doing or funding the terrorism. Everybody wants to blame somebody, it's the society we live in that has to have someone to blame for every thing! Jeannette xx
ReplyDeleteit has been painful to watch the simple citizens get in the fray Guido!

I have to say the intelligence on this wasn't bad - UK Homeland's been onto this plot for awhile I understand, and 24 arrests, leaving only 5 on the run. I just heard 2 more were caught. It's alot, no matter who's steering the boat. Kudos, UK. CATHY
