be that as it may its still the reason they have te adult versions and the kids version. i know it is stupid in my opinion too.

I can't agree with that m8 - the terrorists do NOT have bases which can be attacked - and the chances of finding and killing terrorists are remote, and before invading Iraq there were no terrorists even there. They will operate in small cells probably living life as 'normal people'.


that is how they operate here, but not in iraq, thats why you get entire towns getting taken over by insurgents. those insurgents are the terrorists they are the groups that plan the bombing attacks here. and terrorist dont have bases in the way we think of them, theyhave cells, but they are pretty much the same thing, a place where they can meet and organize.

and your right there were no terrorists there b4. there are now because of the war, they come from other countries is my point. that was the whole point of the war to get the terrorist to go there, to a place where the US have a their military concentrated, to a place where they can shoot a missile at them and not risk killing americans or english or any western civilians. is it right that is debatable, but is it the case yes more the likely. iraq is a place where the terrorists are concentrating themselves. there is a reason that more americans have died since the war 'ended' and that reason is that b4 they were battleing a crippled army, but after they were and are fighting terrorists.

Iraq and Afghanistan has turned into a nightmare for the West - terrorists are systematically spreading fear into the people of those countries by assassinating newly appointed government officials or those who ally themselves with the West - and make the Western amries look weak and inept in front of the people they are there to protect.



Warbler - "*sigh* Is it really necessery to compare us with those the blow up subway stations and resturants and Hijack planes and fly them into building killing thousands of innocent people?"

As opposed to being compared to those (us - the West) who bomb cities and kill innocent civilians with bombs from planes at great heights?


Invading Afghanistan and Iraq seemingly has had little effect in stopping or breeding terrorism or hate of the west.

Iraq had very little to do with terrorism at all before the west invaded - I still don't understand why people link the invasion of Iraq to stopping terrorism and 9/11.


think about it jason it makes more sense the so many of the other reasons, also this is a war aon terror, terror is no rooted in one contry and so it makes it almost impossible to attack. heres something that is probably going through the minds of so many war strategists. why go and look for the terrorist when we can make them come to us. teh US made a battle field for them to fight. tony blair is a very smart man and i dont hink he would have had britian invade iraq just to take out saddam when there the intell was so sketchy, and it was sketchy.


and to your last statement, exactly an dhow many terrorists are floking to iraq now for a chance to kill and american.

give wha happened lasst week i dont thing the police would have risked shooting his leg so that he would fall and still be able to detonate a bomb if he had one on him.

it was an unfortuneate accident and thats all it was no ones fault, and if you must put blame somewhere put it on the terrorist that have the police on such high alert.


as for the west is getting whats coming. in away they are but its not a very good arguement, doesnt help anyone or change anything. there is nothing th west can do right now what would stop the terrorist from attacking, short of giving power to the terrors in the respective countries they come from. and one more point its transnational coorperations from the US and the US economy which did damage to so many small nations, not europe or canada so dont say that england had this coming, the only reason they are being attacked is cause of afgainistian and iraq. and in away iraq had a purpose, its a place where the armies of the west can engage the terrorist. that was its main purpose i believe now. it was a place were would be terrorists coudl go fight and die there rather then come here and blow themselves up. i'm not saying its the best strat, but its a clever one in the end it might create bigger problems but that remains to be seen.
