On behalf of quite a few million Americans I would like to send my condolences to the families hurt by this affair. I believe that the war going on in the middle east has exacerbated the extremists to this level of inhumanity. If it weren't for the sillyness of our military direction this crazyness may have been avoided and instead a heated conversation may have been an end to the knighting situation. Once more, from millions across the sea your pain is felt and we are praying for you.
Who are you apologising to? The only one hurt in this attack was one of the nut cases that tried to carry it out. And to think that if we had only stayed out of Iraq everything would be ducky is childish. I say, here's to the brave Brits and job well done.
Does anyone know what the idiot above is talking about ?
Masquerading as a concerned American ?
Killing Spanish tourists.
This is about Islam taking over the world.
Question
Is the American above a Muslim American?
Islamic flag over the White House and all - right ?
It is naïve to believe that the War in Iraq is the primary cause of such acts of terror. The primary cause is a form of religious extremism. Those in the West who have no real knowledge of religious fundamentalism are increasingly opting for the more easily understood ‘war in Iraq’ excuse. It is simply not true. If there were no war in Iraq these extremists would still be targeting the West.
Within days after 911, I thought that President Bush would secure all our borders, and ports, with the military. But instead of securing our country, he sent the country into war, so we could wipe out terrorism. I knew at the time, it was a waste of time, because there will always be people out there with pure hatred, that will do anything to hurt others. Now we have more proof than ever, 2 Doctors, these are well educated people, who are supposed to save lives, not take them, and I am sure there are others with the same hate, waiting to take the Doctors place's.
We cannot wipe out the terrorist, it will always be there, but we can do a better job of protecting ourselves from them, without taking more of our freedoms away from us. Because we already have a military, the cost for our country to move troops to our borders, and ports would be very low. And there is a plus side, we can stop illegal immigration, which would probably help the illegals that are already here, become citizens. The fact is, it is a WIN, WIN situation for all
It is time that we put pressure on our government, and the president, to start protecting our country, and not a year from now, or eight years from now, 'BUT TODAY.'
Even in the US there is talk of allowing educated people the automatic right to work in that country. I always thought that the terrorists would just use that as a loop hole.
And it seems that they have - here in Britain.
We can secure the borders all we want - but if institutions like the NHS are just going to allow anyone in – then the terrorist are given a free pass – to set up terror cells in the UK or western nation.
To the clue-challenged Apologetic One:
It's possible we'd have done well to save Iraq for a better time, though I submit we'd have had to deal with it sooner or later.
But to suggest the terror attacks wouldn't happen is naive in the extreme. Al Qaeda has spent the past decade and more training thousands of operatives. Do you suppose their plan all along was to wait for some American action before they set to work?
Iran and Syria have spent decades developing the situation in Lebanon. Hamas and Hezbollah are both largely products of long-term Iranian finance and influence. Had they all intended to do nothing unless Iraq were attacked? How stupid would we be to believe so?
And there are numerous other players, numerous other 'fronts' in this conflict, virtually all centering upon radical Islamism which dates back CENTURIES.
The situation we now face is not a product of American action in Iraq, nor indeed anywhere. It is a product of long-term planning and long-term fundamentalism that pre-dates any one administration, any one conflict.
Just in an attempt to address the isolationist/protectionist view; this has never and will never work. We must go after the terrorists wherever they may be, undermine and remove regimes which support these groups and oppose the extremist with all the force we can muster. Civilized societies must recognize the intolerance of these groups and not seek to excuse it.
My brothers.. Let me apologise for the actions of my government in continuing to support the Islamic Revolution, and the Export of the Islamic Revolution. This inhumane and dogmatic approach has result in death, injury, misery, fear and reductions in freedoms for millions, no hundreds of millions of people, from Iran itself, through to Iraq, Palestine, Israel, Lebanon, Chechnya and yes, even America and Western Europe. Unfortunately, so long as we are ruled by relgious bigots we have no choice but to continue along this path. Too bad for all of us and our children and their children. They are all expendable in the pursuit of the Islamic Caliphate, especially the non believers, and even the ones with whom we might make temporary alliances of convenience.
If we let these holy huts take over our world
We could forget about everything that is normal - like technology.
Every woman would have to wear black - as God intended.
Although the men may still be able to wear Western clothes – men are special.
Though to clear up the matter with those in the Middle East
Why don't we just send them a couple of camels?
This is traditionally and according to the Shari’a is the best way to sort out problems between warring families - i.e. warring worlds.
Again it needs to be pointed out America does not act alone and never has acted alone . Canada and Australia and many other countires also ' attacked Iraq ' , more than once .
Most of us Canadians are clueless and uneducated as has been demonstrated over and over again by Government and Private institutions .
On behalf of the millions of sound thinking Americans, I’d like to apologize for the embarrassing comments of the Apologetic American. If anyone has rallied the terrorists, it’s the statements of Reid, Durbin, Pelosi and other Democrats who have said that we have lost the war or compared our troops operations to that of the Nazis. These are all part of an embarrassing group of “Americans” that would place their party power above the safety and future of America or if your prefer, they’re just ignorant. Let's see, if we get out of Iraq, they won't blow us up. It seems that they like to target night clubs too. So let's close down Las Vegas and all of our night clubs. Probably Disney and theme parks across the US should be closed, too much fun going on there. They don't seem to like Christians and Jews.....hmmmm. I wonder what else we can do to accommodate them.
all around a pig's ass is pork
The first attempt to blow up the Twin Towers was in 1993, long before the current Iraq war.
Today innocent tourists were killed in the Yemen, by a suicide bomber. Never mind all the attacks in-between, the Bali bombing, Madrid, the attacks on artists and on writers. Were all these done, in protest of American foreign policy in Iraq?
It is clear, that there is a consistent global attempt to ruin everything non-Muslim and allow their suppressive vision of Islam rule the world.
We are becoming like abused wives under Islam – who justify their beatings and abuse – just as we try to explain away the underlying reality of these jihadi attacks.
With Islam comes terrorism, period. The 'prophet' of Islam initiated 75 terrorist attacks so today's Jihadists are just following his example.
Maybe when the Muslims kill millions of Brits with a dirty bomb England will finally outlaw this murderous cult, as they did with the Nazi party. Shame so many will have to die before they finally wake up though...
'Salmond emphasised the need to protect and cushion Scotland's large, mainly Pakistani community from unfair attention.'
Thank you, Salmond. I guess we're just going to have to wait and see if they attack us or not, like good Muslim Jihadists.
'there is no such deed as equals Jihad in reward.'(Bukhari:V4B52N44)
America was attacked on 9/11 and we had not started any war with Iraq. Further, liberals are fond of saying that Al Queda was never in Iraq.
It's time to pick a side. Sooner or later, you're going to have to. Time to revisit Churchill.
We appologise to the whole world because we in USA created the Bin Laden and his crowd to fight Russians. We trained them and now they attack when our president needs his popularity to go up. These stupid pawns do not understand that Al Qaidah is our house servant, their leadrship is at our will.
