Soo, The Royal Institute of International Affairs (RIIA) in Britain is saying that Britain's support for the US put them at a greater risk from attacks by terrorists.
I say being a freedom loving, open society opens them to possible attacks. Sure in some part the terrorists are able to justify their bombings due to the British involuntary in the middle east but they would do what they do regardless. These people are filled with hate and religious conviction ... a deadly mix. If it wasn't the war in Iraq they would find some other reason to "justify" bombing innocent freedom loving, enjoying people. They are miserable, and truly do not know God and for this I pity them and pray for them that they find "the one TRUE" God before the end of their days. On the terrorist websites they already said they planned to take the fight to Europe. Many of these nations have nothing to do with the Iraq war but yet they're still a target. IMO the RIIA are grasping at straws trying to make "sense" of this senseless act and set their citizens at ease. Are the US populace at ease after 9/11? No! and for good reason. Forever vigilant must we be for the enemy is closer than ever. This threat is here, among us and simply sticking our heads in sand WON'T resolve the problem. Britain needs to grow some and deal with it... you didn't see US just leaving the Middle east in the fray. They continue to try and make it a better place for the innocents living there and spread hope for a people who's been w/out hope for so long and are now losing more hope than ever.
Britain is now saying they will try and pull out of Iraq by 2006. Do they really think that will stop the terrorists? Spain played a very small role in the middle east they got bombed anyway. The bombs found on Paris metro tracks may or may not have been set by Al queda we may never know. I was in Paris during the 2 weeks following the Spain train bombings and when the bombs were found on the tracks in Paris. Nothing like machine gun holding police that roam the streets, the metro cars asking if the bag you're holding is yours o.O to make one feel safe. If that wasn't enough the US had to go and pass the Patriot Act and it's IInd part. Sure I feel safer now ... not! I truly hope all of you reading this at least attempt to follow the Patriot act and it's upcoming renewal. If you don't agree with what's in this act WRITE your congressmen/women. You are constituents and you do HAVE a voice! Vote! Participate! Enjoy your freedom that our founders some of them gave their life for!
Anyhew.. 2hrs of sleep don't bode well for me :P There's my 2 cents about the highly ignorant and cowardly statements of the British RIIA. May their citizens have more sense and cahounas .. if you get my drift.

Some folks would be daunted by that proclamation, but that's what I love 'bout you Zel.
I think it's ridiculous to blame long standing friendship and relationship on the increased level of European acts of terrorism. The terrorists have long proclaimed that it is their desire to reclaim all they consider theirs. That would include a good chunk of Europe including the powers you mentioned, France and Spain.
For evil to prosper all that good people must do is nothing.
Well said!
