Warbler, you said above that when you think of terror attacks you think of Bin Laden - that is because his face and name is in every bloody newspaper and TV bulletin related to terrorists. He's a villain for the people to focus on. It's turning this whole thing into an over-simplified bad guy movie. And even you, who is clearly smart and aware that Bin Laden is not the be all and end all of this thing, still can't quite shake the concept even though you know it to be false, because it's thrown at you every day. A testiment to the power of the media.


The reason, I think of Bin Laden is not because of the media, is because whenever I think of terrorist attacks the first one I think of is 911(for obvious reasons), and Bin Laden was(and may still be) the leader of the group that did it.

We don't have the patriotism of the USA over here (which is sad in some ways, because we have little to no national pride unless football is involved, but good too because nationalism is a bit dangerous in my opinion).


Same here, unless it envolved sports such as football or the olympics, or brazillians getting into harsh situations overseas (the one shot in UK, the one kidnapped in Iraq), we are actually the opposite of a patriotic country, we are very self deprecating. I am overly critic about this country and I hate it's politics and social problems as much as I make criticism about international politics - I just don't discuss it here as it would be inapropriated. But what I meant is that some people take my remarks about my political views as personal attacks, like I'm burning the flag or something. I must say I have nothing against US and UK as countries and its people, quite the opposite I enjoy the culture from both countries and I have nothing against the "cultural invasion" made by US (and to some extent UK and europe) over the world, I actually support it. I want to remind you all that although I am absolutely against every single decision made by both governments over the past 200 years and am absolutely disgussed by their political decisions and views, I have NOTHING against its people and the countries themselves... OK? I like you guys.


Sorry I Ric but do take statements personally like:

sorry but I take them personally, partly I guess because there is some truth to them. Sorry but I take alot of pride in what my country stands for. You say it stands for oil and arrogance. I say it stands for freedom and democracy(laugh if you must). Yes I know we've made some mistakes, but sometimes people act like we are out to take over the world. Some people say that we are evil and blood thirsty. I say that is not so. I am sorry for the mistakes we've made, but hijacking planes and ramming them into buildings is not the answer. It offends me that some people just want to let the terrorists off the hook. Some people look at our country and all they can see is George W. Bush. Please look beyond him, our country is more than just him, alot more.

Regarding the whole sanctions creating terrorism things, let me ask you something: why do you think US is aimed by terrorist groups? Why do they declare this pseudo-jihad against this country? What is the difference between US and UK and, let's say, Japan, or Brazil, or Canada, or Germany? What has generated this hate?



I'll be honest and say I don't know because, I don't know. I think it has to do with the fact that we are one of the most powerful nations on the planet. Terrorists get more out of attacking a powerful nation than a weak one. I also think its as Shim said, its because we impose sanctions, Brazil, Japan and Canada don't. I think its also cause they view us as a Christian stronghold. Most terrorists have extreme religious beliefs.

When I speak of imposing sanctions and political/economical barriers between countries who tend to go in the wrong way, I don't mean a militaristic, arrogant one-sided intervention. I don't mean a coup. I mean a UN based movement, based on international laws. Does anyone here remember Slobodan Milosevic's case? Do you see how North Korea's case is being treated? Also, why hasn't the US or UK interfered on Idi Amin Dada back in the 70s? Think about it.



Is what we did in Cuba a coop? no Did it work? no.

Yes, it is nice to see.

Would everyone stop going on about Bin Laden? You're talking as if getting rid of him would solve the problem. I doubt the London bombers are even connected to Bin Laden. He is just a famous name - these extremists are now taking his example and doing their own thing, just like modern day Nazis weren't even born when Hitler was around. This thing has become a cancer that has spread beyond the root cause. There is no leader, no one man to take out. The only thing that would happen if Bin Laden was caught or killed would be even more attacks to avenge him.



Sorry, but when I think of terrorists attacks I think of him. Yes stopping him wouldn't stop the terrorists attacksm but it would be a blow in the right direction. It is a figurehead for terrorists. He was the mastermind behind 911. For the war or terror to be successful, one of the things that has to happen is that Bin Laden must be stopped, and yes you're right, if he were caught or killed, in the short run, the terrorists attacks would increace.

Which goes to my point sanctions won't get rid of Bid Ladin, they will just make easier for him to get more recruits. I don't leaving Iraq and Afganistan are going to stop him from attacking us. I don't think he out for justice for his people or the people Iraq or Afganistan I believe it is out for revenge. For what I am not certain, but he seems to be acting like someone seeking revenge. So I ask again how do we stop him?
