mk Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 first of all, id like to convey my sincerest condolences to the people of london, those hurt and injured by the bombings and those whos families have been touched by this event. ive been thinking about the events of the day for some hours and cant work out why we, the uk, would be a target now. g8 maybe? well, g8 has never been a target for terrorists before. why london? g8 isnt held in london. They didnt blow up any significant land marks. the timing must be significant, its too much of a coincidence. but why? lets play a game of Bush's Price is Right! following the bombings: - british and american defence budget? high or lower? - support for increasing foreign aid? higher or lower? - relative importance and concentration of national/internationalo focus on environmental reform? high or lower? who really benefits from the outcomes of these? not us, not people in developing countries. just look for whos got a spring in their step at the g8 this week. i think alot of hard issues will be passed over at the g8 because of this.

Bubsa Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 There is the risk of issues at G8 undermined as you said. Hopefully not though. The thing is, ever since Britain's allegiance to the US on the 'war on terror', we became a terrorist target there and then. As chilling as it may sound the question was not 'if' there would be a terrorist attack but 'when'. I see where you're coming from and Bush's prescence in Britain may have been incentive to attack now. However, you can't blame the attack on him. No way. Where it may have been a catalyst it certainly didn't start the threat. We did (although of course you never warrant these sought of atrocities no matter who you are) when we stood by the US after 9/11. I really hope you're not blaming Bush for the attack. After all, the attack was on Britain, to cause terror to Britain and not to have another dig at Bush. While this may greatly harm is strongest ally the incentive was definately directed at Britain. But then again, I'm not a part of Al Qaeeda (honest) so I can't possibly say if any of what I've said is true, but it's what I believe and a few people I know do. The olympic bid was also a 'nice coincedence' as well. Euphoria one night - travesty the next. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you.

I don't think Bush was at fault for this, just something that happend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesselt Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Yayy! Another excuse to take away peoples liberties and talk about terrorism at g8 instead of the real reason that they're there!!! sw0000tz0rz! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lionheart_0 Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 ??? are you like asking whos fault, and thinking of blaming it on bush or something??? From what ive seen on the news, al-quida has already taken responsiblity for this. So i think its obviouse why this was done. The UK was very close with America on the war on terrorisim. So its logicle that they attacked London to get back. And just like the 9/11 attack, its not about the other country, they wanted to harm the public. This really scares me now. If al-quida is going after the allies of America, whats to stop them from going to Canada :shock: . And whats worse is Canada has msot of its population living in ones place. Lucky Canada has taken steps to up our military and security. Sig by IkuraiYour Guide to Posting! Behave or I will send my Moose mounted Beaver launchers at you!

And I doubt these attacks where Bush's fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketman089 Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I personally think it was a terrorist cell like Al-Queda, it makes sense. France tends to sympathize for terrorists and the like, so they probably retaliated against London for beating France in the bid for the Olympics.

Guest Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 ve been thinking about the events of the day for some hours and cant work out why we, the uk, would be a target now. g8 maybe? well, g8 has never been a target for terrorists before. why london? g8 isnt held in london. They didnt blow up any significant land marks. First of all there have always been protestors and uproars at G8 conventions. Secondly no terrorist group has came forward and claimed responsibility for this which by the way they always do. Lastly the protestors at the G8 convention could use the terrorists as a perfect cover for someone there doing it. This was a terrorist ACT don't get me wrong...we dont know if any of the "terrorists" were responsible for it though. Still this is such a sad day, so much hate and anger is in this world now. Thoughts and prayers go out to everyone affected by this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LONDON, England (CNN) -- A previously unknown group calling itself the "Secret Organization group al Qaeda Organization in Europe" released a statement Thursday claiming responsibility for the subway and bus bombings in London earlier in the day.

KnightLite Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 The french's strategy of "We wont get involved in the war, and we wont be attacked" seemed to fail... But to blame this whole thing on Bush is just stupid.... Just another pathetic attempt to try and scramble facts together and try to make Bush look like an idiot.. - Only character in Runescape History maxed out in RSC and RS2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
