7/7 - One year on...

[Nitrus]

It has been a year since the London 7/7 bombings... and nearly 6 years since 9/11....

Has terrorism improved??

Has the world been changed forever??

Is there any more freedom in the world now then there was before 2000.

Discuss.

Sorry bout that,

1. England suffered a uncalled for attack on their Humanity.
2. The Land of the Free (America) also suffered an Attack on its Humanity on 911.
3. No Nation is safe from the tentacles of Islams death squads.
4. They are taught that evil is a good thing.
5. And they have sleeper cells all over the planet.
6. Waiting, watching, preparing for a pointless attack on innocent Humans.
7. These crimes on Humanity will not go unpunished.
8. As long as Islam keeps doing this, and does not repent, the Free World will retaliate.
9. Iraq is more free.
10. Terrorism has been shown what it is, in the minds of the whole world, its not a thing for good.

Nitrus, I'm kind of embarassed that no one really acknowledged the 7/7 anniversary, including myself.

The bond between Britain and America is unlike that of any two nations on Earth.

Does it come from our origins as a British Colony? Not necessarily. There were countless British Colonies that don't have the ties the UK and US do. Does it come from our shared involvement in two world wars? Shared language? Perhaps a combination of all the above.

However no country in the modern world is as steadfast a partner as Great Britian. While not of the scope of 9/11 the 7/7 bombings were just as dreadful to your nation as 9/11 was to ours. I felt a renewed sense of commonality with Londoners and your nation that day. Fortunately Britian did not capitulate electorially in the face of terrorist actions the way Spain did after 3/11 and the Madrid bombings.

Your citizens show incredible resolve to continue on as though nothing was different and that they would not be cowed. If this comes from decades of experience with the IRA, I don't know.

However if the same type tactics were pulled off in America the profundity of the change in mass transit would be seismic. I don't think Americans would be as reslilient in the face of an attack on people instead of buildings as the British were.

They are not forgotten and your country should be proud of their continued courage. The British Lion may not be what he once was 100 years ago but his spirit remains.

Thanks PAD. Means a lot.

I just hope that nothing like this ever happens again. Personally I think they should have more control over immigration.

But the people I feel most sorry for, are those muslims who are good people whose name and religion are tarnished by those who choose to fight their Jihad..

Sorry bout that,

1. But England isn't standing still when it comes to battling Islam, neither is Wales.
2. It warms me heart to know that The Mother Land fights the good fight along side the USA.
3. Although England has many more problems with immigration, with the free flats/homes, free jobs, free money, free food, free everything they give the muslims who arrive daily.
4. This turns me guts inside out.
5. No wonder they keep coming and coming.

The British, and particularly the Londoners, displayed astounding fortitude during the Nazi bombings; their "stiff upper lip" after the subway attacks is no surprise. BTW, we now have a new date to add to 9/11, 3/11 and 7/7; terrorists just hit 7 commuter train sites during rush hour in Mumbai, India on 7/11.

I heard there was an interesting coincidence on 7/7... authorities just happened to be running drills simulating terrorist attacks at the exact same time the real attacks occurred. The drills targeted the same trains in the same places at the same time. Go figure.

[Nitrus]

I can safely say that that never happend.

Well, I've seen with my own eyes Peter Power of Visor Consultants admitting to just that on ITN News, and then heard him repeat it on BBC Radio 5, on the day of 7/7 itself.

I also know that the supposed mastermind of the bombing plot, a guy named Aswat, was an MI-6 asset who was repeatedly protected any time he was arrested by the regular police who were just trying to do their job and protect innocent lives. This is attested to by former US Justice Department Prosecutor John Loftus, a man who has held some of the highest security clearances in the world.

If you want to see the news clip of Power yourself, it's included in this movie here (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=786048453686176230&q=terrorstorm) at around the 37 minute mark. The whole movie is well worth watching, and has an extended segment on 7/7.

Look, as far as I know they didnt happen, simply because at that time the required amendment to the Terrorism Bill hadnt passed the House of Lords yet, and it was only AFTER 7/7 that the amendment was made. Allowing those types of "simulations" to be carried out in public areas, up until then they had to use mockups.

There were simulations on the day, but they were NOT at the same stations and NOT on the same trains.

Please submit evidence to back up your claims.

Egads man, Nitrus lives in the UK. I am fairly sure he has a better grasp on the news surrounding the 7/7 attacks that some conspiracy theorist across the pond does.

Then by that logic you must admit that 9/11 was an inside job since that's what a majority of New Yorkers think, and they were there.

Show me an objective source, not one of your conspiracy theorist buddies, that have documented such a claim.
