OT: Counter-Terrorism is a Farce

[Randallw]

Not just the western media. I often wonder when they say the terorists have a new statement on Al Jazeera why they allow them to show it then. Maybe Al Jazeera is related to Al Qaida, they both start with Al (This is a joke. I tried to learn Arabic once. Al is the equivalent of A/The. Other than that I just know the rules for vowels)

Actually has anyone heard the Billy Connolly joke. He points out the terorists use Stanley knives (Box cutters) and they all come from places ending in Stan. Thats who we should be after. Stan. Stan BinLaden.

Which would you rather have freedom or the illusion of safety?


How do flees kill a horse? They bite it until it dies of exhaustion from slapping, stomping, and kicking at the pest.

The 9/11 terror attack killed less than 3000 people. About 40,000 are killed yearly in car accidents in the US.


Blowing up hometowns of terrorist wouldn’t work. Wasn’t London the hometown to at lest one of the London transit bombers?

Yah, the question is how much of our freedom we're willing to sacrifice for an increase in the chance of stopping the rare terrorist attack. Having my country turned into a police state with surveillance everywhere is unacceptable for me, but that is the way it's heading. If we continue in this direction then the terrorists have already won. It's not about killing people, it's about spreading terror, obviously, and we've long since taken the bait.
