Anyone else notice that the UK gets alot more attacks on it then we do? Seems wierd considering we are the major players over in Iraq and Afghanistan. Anyone have a thought why that might be?
Also banning firearms did them alot of good. I surely would rather be blown up by a bomb rather then being shot. /sarcasm off

Adds up to a pretty big list. Grim.
There will be blood.
"Yep. There's the muslim about to blow up a car."
Limit firearm and increase government surveillance and they still get bombed. Go figure...
they do not have the Atlantic ocean between them and the middle east ether
Well I'd think in this day and age it wouldn't be much of a problem. If they could get the clearance to get into Europe I'd think it wouldn't be that much more difficult to get clearance to fly to North America. Good point and I'd be curiuos as to hom much that plays into it.
The attacks are meant to make the people of that country oppose the war in Iraq, and to put pressure on the leaders of that country to retreat from the "war". IMHO
You think? Wouldn't you think attacks on that country would make them more mad and demand them to be hunted down and killed to stop the threat?
Also a interesting view in my opinion.

Not really, they were not the subject of the 911 attacks and the terrorist know that the leaders of these countries were "forced" to support the U.S. effort. Kind of like what is going on here because of the constant killing of american troops in IRAQ, rememeber G. W. BUSH said "mission accomplished". the "war" is over right?

There is logic in your statement, but since they have thousands of impressionable young people indoctrinated in their vindictive madness around the world, catching up to who bombed what on any particular occasion has little or no effect on the absolute certainty that they will bomb again. And again. And again. This is jihad against the non-islamist populace of the entire world and it is not going to stop until the return of Christ.
There are many so-called moderate muslims in America and throughout the world. In the future, when the tide has turned, all those moderate islamists among us will be forced to make a commitment to jihad, or die. So the more of these muslims we allow into the country, and the more their influence and message permeates the society, the more impossible it will be to stop these acts of violence. There are hundreds of thousands of these "moderates" in the U.S. right now.

They don't need clearance to enter the United States.
As long as they can get into Mexico the door into the US is wide open[:(!][:(!][V]
I don't think they're looking to warn the UK off away from the war. Anyone who thinks that has no idea how human beings think. You will note that a bombing campaign in the US on 9-11 got us to invade Muslims lands, not stay away.
No, the simple fact of the matter is that the reason why there are more riots and more bombings in Europe than here in the United States is because we treat our Muslims better. They're better integrated and adjusted to American life than their counterparts are to European life.
Now some of you might say that we pander too much to them, but the fact is that our soft-handed approach to Muslims in general, especially here at home, has led them to view violence as perhaps not the best course of action to undertake.
Muslims in the United States are not as marginalized, they have equal protection under the law, and said protection is enforced evenly and predictably. And if someone irks them, they know they can go to the ACLU for legal redress rather than cooking up a fertilizer bomb and killing a hundred people.
It is not our greater military presence in Muslim-dominant countries that is keeping us safe, it is not increased spending on Homeland Security (which to date has achieved very little in protecting our borders), nor is it the fact that we torture people at Abu Ghraib or Gitmo.
No, it would seem that the one thing people told us was our greatest weakness was indeed our greatest strength: our way of life.
We have not deployed soldiers in our cities, so it's not the military keeping us safe.
We have not agreed to a wholesale rewriting of the Constitution, so it's not the neocons keeping us safe.
But we have maintained our freedom - that is what keeps us safe. The lack of bombings here is proof positive of that.
very large population
of muslims and where
there's "smoke"
there's "fire"
So maybe we soon have the first terrorattacks here aswell.[B)]

Not to nitpick, but Bush never said "Mission Accomplished." That's nothing more than "urban legend" promoted by the Dems. He stood in front of a "Mission Accomplished" banner. He did not utter the words.
...Uh, we went on the offensive against these diaper heads for one thing. The only thing these twisted musloons understand is to meet violence with violence; while the anti-American lefties think we should just "chat them up".
...Said it before, will say it again, if Putz Pelosi, Little Dick Durbin, Franken Kerry and Pretty Boy Edwards think chattin' 'em up is the thing to do...I'll be the first to donate to a fund to finance a trip for them (and ALL the DIMS) to the lawless nether region on the Afghan/Pakistan border where Uncle Bin is susposedly hiding, so they can "chat him up"...[^]
(sound familiar?)
*Especially with the tunnel under the English Channel!
Gas pipeline explosions...powerplant fires....refineries exploding..China poisoning toothpaste-pet food-American food supply.....30+million illegals ran across the border with who knows what...some are Al Quaeda....
If we had British newspapers and media it would show we are being attacked by terrorists and terrorist nations...daily.
But that would hurt Consumerism and the US Economy.....so shhhhhhhhhh.
