I am not telling you to flatten Leeds or other cities in England where the indigenous terrorists came from. I am telling you that the vast majority of the British people and their government do not believe that we are fighting a global war on terror against islamic terrorism in order to defend our freedom and our way of life.

The 7/7/05 terrorist attacks is called by you and your media and your people the "7/7 bombings" right there I can tell that you do not believe that you are fighting global jihadist terrorists, you cannot even bring yourself to call it terrorist attacks. I have seen your people reaction to the terrorist attacks in July 2007, it was cold, empty of any emotions, or a will to fight on and destroy world wide islamic terrorism. I stand by what I said that the British people treated the act of war against them as a securiy incident in the Tube and the train stations.

Moreover the shameful, disgraceful, and cowardly actions by the British government and the British Navy toward the act of war declared by the Iranian terrorist regime against Britain is shoking beyond belief. You have capitulated to the terrorist mullahs, there is no other way to explain it.

Anyway welcome to Free Republic.

‘bombings’ is merely the term of reference used when a terrorist group attacks soft targets in the UK. the IRA attacks were ‘bombings’ (Manchester, Warrington, London Pub bombings etc.), yet we all knew that we were in a fight with a proto-fascist/communist entity that really did want our destruction. Yet we won.
for British people to believe that there is no War on Terror (man do i hate that line, its grammatically poor), they would have had not to watching the TV and news reports of the shoe bomber (again, bomber, but we know he was a terrorist. these are semantic argument over interpretations of words...), 9/11, Bali ‘Bombings’ (again, bombings, but we know that they were caused by the Jammah Islamiah (bad spelling i know) terrorist group, London bombings in 05, and the attempted attacks in london just after. Just looking at the reactions of the people, and reading the testimony of their accounts dispels any belief that the UK had closed its eyes to the threat. Madrid train bombings (again, bombings, yet we know the act was inspired and performed by Al Qaeda orientated terrorist cells).

I stand by my indignation for the comments on this thread, and my explanations regarding your points. Oh, and many thanks for the welcome to FR.
