maybe the G8 conference can discuss some serious security issues for a change and get something accomplished other than a photo shoot.

we're shortly going to be on the wrong planet

In a very real sense, we are on different planets anyway. Different worlds.

Al Qaeda is just trying to sever the connection.

listening to mayor of london, his remarks are setting the right tone

powerful, best statement yet, imo

standing firm against terrorism

i have to admit i'm concerned the brits might pull a 'spain' but so far no evidence of that

Pissing off one or the other of an allied US/UK works for a minimal bit, but historically, nobody's survived hitting both of them.

the problem is,imo going after the terrorist cells (while necessary) is like herding cats....i've been convinced that the only way to 'win' is to hit the state sponsors hard enough that the muslim population will turn on the terrorists themselves

iow, THEY have to pay a severe price, an unacceptable price

for allowing the extremist jihadists to function in their midst

while what you state is historically true...we are also in a new era whereby politically, non-state entities have the means to commit mass murder....suicide bombers being the WMD of choice, apparently

they want asymmetrical warfare??

let's give it to them
