    look Total. You maintain that the west (US Britain etc) deserves what it gets because of its "bad foreign policy.

    So by the same logic . Why is what befalls the jihadists NEVER the fault of their external actions.

    They're always just "backlashing" or somehow justified by the left
    The next revolution will be, when those who work refuse to support those who don't.

    What exactly befalls the terrorists? Justice and rehabilitation. This is just useless if we don't find out the root of the problem and fix it. We have found it but we're not fixing it, bad foreign policy. all I'm saying is that karma has come around and hit the west. Try to control and take over the middle east and terrorist bombings start. Nobody wins especially the supposed 'backlashers' they pay their life aswell and they must have a logical explanation in their head

    I'd say a suicide bombing or a Car bomb in Iraq or Afghanistan is even more imminent.

    However Britain is a lot closer to us and terrorist attacks are a lot rarer there, so it’s to be expected that the threat of a terrorist attack in Britain would make more news.
    Rocky, isn't that precisely the problem? That our media tell us that foreigners are scum and, completely coincidentally, governments factor in the fact that we don't give a f**k about foreigners to do whatever they want. Shouldn't we rise up against that? Why do we care more about somebody in Cork or Liverpool than somebody in Basra or Kabul?[/quote:d47cyrb2]



    "All foreigners are scum"? I don't know what kind of lunatic media you subscribe to, but I have never seen or heard this absurd assertion published by anyone but yourself. you say we don't give a f*** for foreigners. Please speak for youself. You do not speak for me.

    There were far more bomb attacks on the British mainland during the troubles, than there were in the 26-counties. Do you think is reasonable, therefore, to point that out to you the next time you start banging on about the Dublin and Monaghan bombings?

    Whataboutery works both ways, you know.

    British mainland? Did those bombs in Dublin explode on the Irish mainland?


    Try "Britain" and "Ireland".

    We say "there's a reason why they feel the need to blow things, and people, up (mainly rooted in aggressive military and economic policies directed at their home nations by the US/UK) and by confronting and fixing this reason we can stop such terrorist acts in future".

    WingNuts say "They blow things up because they are mad bad evil men who hate our freedom, and the fact that we've gone out of our way to kill hundreds of thousands of them in recent years is completely irrelevant. In fact we must kill hundreds of thousands more of them and turn our home countries into paranoid police states (thus removing the freedom the mad bad evil men hate so much) in order to stop them".

    Which approach, d'ye think, is more likely to stop suicide bombers? G'wan, take a wild guess.

    Yes, Bobb, I'm going to provide you with details of my personal life, because you're not a bizarre, obsessive, racist oddball.

    Would you like my phone number as well? Perhaps the name of my secondary school, or my mother's birth surname?

    Tool.

    At the risk of being called a racist, I am relieved that smiffy is not a civil servant of this country.
