‘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.
‘have been’ watching.......!!!!!
