What I want to know is why, yet again. two HOMISIDAL Bombers have been called SUICIDE bombers?
If they only killed themselves OK, but they killed others and injured loads of people. What on earth posesses them to go for that kind of death baffles me. As for 7 virgins etc, waiting in paradise for them, would you?
I wonder what sort of torture and drugs they are forced to take before they go along with their master's wishes and kill themselves and others.
Its a scary thought that even Big Brother had a security alert this week.
I remember the IRA threats in the 70's and early 80's. We even got evacuated from school one day because of a bomb scare. When I worked for the DHSS we were constantly being evacuated for fear of bombs in Preston.
I was in Preston when the Anthrax scare in Preston after the 9/11 events. To see all the fire and rescue men in full suits and the set up they had in Charnley street to decontaminate themselves in was a bit scary to watch. If there are any chemical weapons we will be like sitting ducks in this country, you never see a police man, (unless you are a motorist)
Customs officer's didn't even stop us coming back from France on a ferry, my daughter flew in and out of Liverpool a few weeks ago and none of her group was stopped. My parents and aunt and uncle all have names which could be suspect, something Smith! they have all been stopped and searched at Manchester.
Its looking like Iraq might turn into another Northern Ireland, with only military patrols keeping the peace, and they are not getting far this week, we can only hope that there is a peaceful solution soon.
That's why the game Chess was invented because two kings didn't have enough money to raise armies to fight, so the legend I was told goes.
I am reluctant to go into city centres and large shopping centres at the moment, though I also feel that if I let it worry me too much the bombers have won.
In any case talking has to be an option at all times. One life lost is too many and it'll be a long job, let's just hope everyone gets sorted and those soliders get out in one piece.
I am in agreement that Britain should not have to police the world, but for some reason we always seem to end up being there. The US and Britain are seen to be the main instigators of the action and we will all end up paying for this mess one way or another. Other countries who were unsure what to do just sat back and most are still sitting there waiting for us to sort it out. We should have known France wouldn't join in, but other countries have been a bit of a surprise.
I know a lot of people will say the talking is over. Well we haven't seen any fat ladies singing.....yet......!
