How should UK respond?

[SloMax]

How should UK respond to the terrorist attacks? Heighten security in UK and better protect the transportation system or hunt the terrorists in countrys they came from?

You can't just hurt an enemey and expect them to stop fighting. You have to make them spill so much blood that they become unwilling to fight. If that doesn't work you have to kill them all.

Violently.

"What the f*ck do you think you're doing? This is London. We've dealt with your sort before. You don't try and pull this on us.
Do you have any idea how many times our city has been attacked? Whatever you're trying to do, it's not going to work.
All you've done is end some of our lives, and ruin some more. How is that going to help you? You don't get rewarded for this kind of crap.
And if, as your MO indicates, you're an al-Qaeda group, then you're out of your tiny minds.
Because if this is a message to Tony Blair, we've got news for you. We don't much like our government ourselves, or what they do in our name. But, listen very clearly. We'll deal with that ourselves. We're London, and we've got our own way of doing things, and it doesn't involve tossing bombs around where innocent people are going about their lives.
And that's because we're better than you. Everyone is better than you. Our city works. We rather like it. And we're going to go about our lives. We're going to take care of the lives you ruined. And then we're going to work. And we're going down the pub.
So you can pack up your bombs, put them in your a*seholes, and get the f*ck out of our city." .

OK, but you can't just burst into countries an attack the terrorist camps and kill all. Terrorism comes from problems in the society in which it was born and here is where you must also address the issues. And this issues can't be resolved by force. Ofcourse addressing problems in the society takes time and patience.

Seems like a start.

Terrorism comes from problems in the society in which it was born and here is where you must also address the issues.

I agree.

And this issues can't be resolved by force.

It can't be resolved without force either.

Ofcourse addressing problems in the society takes time and patience.

Well they better hurry up because the more terrorists these socities produce the more we are going to have to kill.

[troung]

You know I live near DC and for the past couple years I always thought the metro would be an easy mark, and not like they could put up secuirty without pissing off thousands of middle and upper class people a day and slowing them down a lot... there actually is no secuirty there other then people making sure you don't jump the paying place...

Back to the UK...

Find out who did it and why...

Then kill/arrest them depending on who they are...

[Amled]

OK, but you can't just burst into countries an attack the terrorist camps and kill all.

Why not?
If their intention is to kill you or your fellow citizens. then the most logical thing would be to kill them before they have a chance to do so.
Somtimes it is better to act rathere then be forced to react!

[troung]

Guys we all know it was the CIA/Mossad/MI-6...

I saw that on PDF... those M-kids cannot be wrong... this is Bush and the Neo Cons trying to make Muslims look bad... 9-11 was America getting what it had coming... but wait the CIA/Mossad did that one as well... no jews died in the WTC... OBL is a Mujahideen... but wait he is not real just a CIA plant... this was in return for the UK backing the USA in OEF/OIF... but wait the Jews fukking did this...

A$$holes can never fukking agree...

Makes you want to keep our F-16s and our fukking aid... fukking bastards...

Whoever wrote this is merely angry - there is no logic to it, at all.

Whatever you're trying to do, it's not going to work.

Actually, it might. And this tosser that wrote this ejaculation will likely assist. We already KNOW what they're 'trying to do'. They're trying to terrify the Brits into changing their policy toward aQ and Islam and the Middle East. Like was done in Spain. The guy that wrote this USED to be an out-and-out collaborator in trying to assist in that policy change. He wouldn't acknowledge it, but it's true. And I don't trust him to now work against that objective.

All you've done is end some of our lives, and ruin some more.

Not true. They've gotten attention, and PERHAPS they've gotten some Brits to cower; perhaps enough to make a difference and accomplish they're objectives. Time will tell, and we'll see if a Brit is better, made of stronger metal than a Spaniard. (And it should be pointed out, now and forever, that the reason this happened is because the Spanish virtually guaranteed it by making it pay off when it happened to THEM.)

You don't get rewarded for this kind of crap.

Sometimes you do.

And if, as your MO indicates, you're an al-Qaeda group, then you're out of your tiny minds.

Oh, aQ is mad, right enough, but they're not insane. They just committed a coldly rational act, even though it was evil and utterly merciless. But it had a point, you can bet on THAT.

Because if this is a message to Tony Blair, we've got news for you. We don't much like our government ourselves, or what they do in our name.

They've already gotten that news, genius. They're absolutely counting on it. What remains to be seen, however, is whether enough Brits will turn away from 'what [the government] do in our name' to make a difference politically. The calls have already started, and not just from the terrified citizens: 'Red Ken' Livingstone, the Mayor of London, MP George Galloway and others that have won elections with more comfortable margins than Tony Blair, are already singing the tune that aQ would wish them to sing. And incidentally, I detect it in this guy's writing, too.

But, listen very clearly. We'll deal with that ourselves.

They ARE listening, and very clearly, too. They are leaning forward into their telly screens and radio speakers to see if they can pick up the first sounds of cracking and wobbling over the sounds of women screaming, ambulance sirens, broken glass and rubbled masonry, and metal-on-metal from the jaws of life, prying people out of their vehicles.

As for dealing with that - government policy, that is - yourselves, what do you suppose aQ WANTS you to do? The clown that wrote this is about to do just exactly what a good little lefty collaborator is SUPPOSED to do: invalidate the 'incorrect' vote the country just took to return Blair (which made it three out of the four top 'war leaders' that were re-elected after doing something that was unpopular with their people).

We're London, and we've got our own way of doing things, and it doesn't involve tossing bombs around where innocent people are going about their lives.

London's own way of doing things has involved in the very recent past a massive anti-war protest. No, their own way of doing things doesn't involve tossing bombs, it involves quite the opposite, and THAT is why London was hit. It was an attempt to cow the Brits into NEVER tossing bombs around.

If the Brit response is going to be something weak and useless, like a an anti-terrorism march, Osama and all his men will be saying to each other, "See? No guts." And they will be CORRECT.

An anti-terrorism march in Mosul is respectable, because it MEANS something; on e in London is risible, because it doesn't.

And that's because we're better than you. Everyone is better than you.

True enough, we ARE better. But are we TOUGHER, are we MORE DEDICATED? THAT is what is at issue, and sometimes the wars are not won by the side that should, because their cause was right.

And we're going to go about our lives. We're going to take care of the lives you ruined. And then we're going to work. And we're going down the pub.

NOW we're down to it: WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO NOW, ABOUT THIS?

Nothing, it appears. Head down to the boozer for a pint; wipe up the blood.

Where's the part about the Terrible Swift Sword? Where's the hot blood promise of red war to the end, a demand for righteous and final justice, retribution that will make the enemy know the fear of the hunted, and of serving unto their certain deaths a defeated cause?

Nowhere. We're just going to clock in down at mill, oh, and when we get another chance, change the government that pissed off our enemies to the extent that they're coming into OUR country to kill US.

This man is WEAK, and he is absolutely what these bastards were aiming for when they did their evil today.

Show me your guts, spine, balls, brains, muscle and heart, Britons. Lean into it now, because what we've been telling you all along is absolutely true: this game is for all the marbles.

[dalem]

OK, but you can't just burst into countries an attack the terrorist camps and kill all.

Hello? Of course you can. That's what's been going on for the last 4 years.

Terrorism comes from problems in the society in which it was born and here is where you must also address the issues. And this issues can't be resolved by force. Ofcourse addressing problems in the society takes time and patience.

Of course you address them by force. Kill the bomb-makers and bomb-wearers, and remove the governments that create the societies that create the terrorists. The UK knows this as well or better than we do, and I have no doubt they we be even more motivated than they were before to find these guys and waste them.

My condolences to the British people. We're flying our flags at half mast.

[dave angel]

what will we do?

we won't get all paranoid, we won't be bounced into idiot knee-jerk reactions that do us more harm than good and we won't open an atlas and say "that'll do".

we'll do the forensic work. we'll talk to intelligence services around the world.

then, assuming that no wild surprises come out of the hat, we'll do what we did yesterday and the day before. we'll continue on our path, we will use violence when required, but we won't use it just to 'feel better' and to massage our bruised ego, we'll use it in the same way we used it yesterday and the day before.

our aim is to win, long-term win, not just to get into testosterone fueled masterbatery pissing contests with homocidal lunatics over how many innocent civilians we can vapourise.

we'll do what we did when the luftwaffe slaughtered 30,000 and what we did when the IRA murdered thousands on our streets. we will knuckle down with the job in hand and we bloody well will not make it easier for these murderous, medieval beasts to spread their message of hate and fear.

lashing out is for little boys and bullies, its also exactly what these people want - to bring truth to the lie that the west hates muslims.

[dalem]

we'll do ...what we did when the IRA murdered thousands on our streets.

What, vote them into Parliament?

[troung]

He basically (if I read right) means they will find out who did it and come up with a way to take them out.

If this was AQ then hell there is really no nation to bomb today anyways... unless they want to bomb Pakistan or Somalia for the hell of it...

So they will have to find out who did this and then come up with a means to strike back. Not run off and randomly bomb someone...

Remember after 9-11 we did have a rather "easy" target... Afghanistan... they might not and will probably not have the same target on a map...
