London

[Ashock]

I turned on ESPN2 a few minutes ago hoping to see some exciting reruns of Texas hold-em or women's 9-ball, and had this sports news dropped on me instead.  The sickening part is the feeling of inevitability... no amount of security can stop this, no amount of white flags can end it, and getting to the root of the issue seems virtually impossible.

Any bright ideas?

"In response to the massacre that Britain has carried out in Iraq and Afghanistan: The heroic mujahedeen has undertaken a blessed attack in London," the statement said. "Now Britain is burning with fear, dread and dismay from north, south, east and west."

It continued: "We have warned the British government and the British people again and again. We have carried out our promise and undertaken a blessed military attack in Britain after great efforts by the heroic mujahedeen over a long period of time to ensure the success of the attack."

The statement also warned "Denmark, Italy and all of the Crusader governments" that they will be attacked if they do not withdraw their troops from Iraq and Afghanistan.




I think this : "Denmark, Italy and all of the Crusader governments" pretty much says it all. They are still living in the past, which is not surprising really, considering how stagnant their culture and religion is. It's a war of different civilizations. They are certainly treating it as such. Why aren't we (or at least most of us)? Europe is so mired in their pacifism and apathy, that I'm afraid it'll take many more attacks for them to wake up. US is only marginally better. Until Western civilization wakes up and smells the coffee and realizes that we are under attack as a whole, this will continue. I hope we will not sleep for too much longer.

There's a russian saying that goes something like "If you let your pig go under a table, it will soon climb on the table". We've already let them go under our table, and they are climbing up. Pig's feet can be made into nice gelatin that can then be consumed for dinner. All we need is a good chef.
