Wow, I hope this is a knee jerk reaction.

How about, what can we do to help? How can our country help yours pick up the pieces and move forward? How about tomorrows head line reading "We are all British Today" How about anything but hate? Negative thinking produces negative results!

That thought had crossed my mine this AM too,and this too,

Imagine

Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...

Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...

Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

This one never made it past a single, but it fits.

Ev'rybody's talking about
Bagism, Shagism, Dragism, Madism, Ragism, Tagism
This-ism, that-ism, is-m, is-m, is-m.

All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance

C'mon
Ev'rybody's talking about Ministers,
Sinisters, Banisters and canisters
Bishops and Fishops and Rabbis and Pop eyes,
And bye bye, bye byes.

All we are saying is give peace a chance

sorry to post twice in a row,but had been looking for this,

There comes a time when we hear a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
and its time to lend a hand to life
There greatest gift of all

We cant go on pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We are all a part of Gods great big family
And the truth, you know,
Love is all we need

We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So lets start giving
Theres a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
its true we'll make a better day
Just you and me

Send them your heart so they'll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stones to bread
So we all must lend a helping hand

We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So lets start giving
Theres a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
its true we'll make a better day
Just you and me

When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
But if you just believe theres no way we can fall
Let us realize that a change can only come
When we stand together as one

We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So lets start giving
Theres a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
its true we'll make a better day
Just you and me

We are the world (solipsism)
We are the children (average age near forty)
We are the ones who make a brighter day (unproven)
So let's start giving (logical inference supplied without argument)
There's a choice we're making (true as far as it goes)
We're saving our own lives (absurd)
It's true we'll make a better day (see line 3 above)
Just you and me (statistically unlikely)

My only question is a fraze by a ex- falcon football player, and wwe wrestler (goldberg) WHO'S NEXT

Martin · Novice

dude
what if the london terrorists were actually not arabs or islamic?
London experienced more terrorism from Irish Catholics and
Protestants over the last 30 years than from arabs.
Back in march the authorities caught 8 British citizens with bombs
and they were not arabs or islamic.
There were no Iraqis amoung the 19 terrorists that caused the 911 disaster.
They were mostly from Saudi Arabia (15 of them) and Yemen.
We are in Saudi Arabia but not at war with them but at war with their neighbors....
ironic!

ok , they were islamic , wahhabi which is like "orthodox militant" islamic .
the wahhabi s spawned the organazation known as al-quaeda , those are the people responseble for 9-11 2x and the cole and the american embassies bombed in africa and a long list of additional events . they are the bad guys , they dont have a country or permanent base because they know that that country or base would be destroyed as soon as it was identified .
they are not going to fade away , they need to be killed before they strike again . silly old songs wont slow them down .

Below are some famous quotes. Is this how you view this issue Mike?

“The great strength of the totalitarian state is that it forces those who fear it to imitate it.”

“Generals think war should be waged like the tourneys of the Middle Ages. I have no use for knights; I need revolutionaries.”

“Strength lies not in defense but in attack.”

“The broad masses of a population are more amenable to the appeal of rhetoric

than to any other force.”

"Below are some famous quotes. Is this how you view this issue Mike?"

no , my veiws are clearly stated in my own words .

perhaps you should reveiw the quotes of the prime minister of england that preceded Winston Churchill , his name was Neville Chamberland , in 1939 he made a pact with the devil to betray some of his allies and then told the citizens of his country "we will have peace in our time" within the following year the entire continent of europe [except spain & switserland] had been conquered by the very foe he had agreed to not do battle with , the same foe that he had squandered the lives of some of his allies to. the army of his country had been decimated and left without equipment to defend their own country , the only thing that saved them was intervention by the USA .

heres another neat quote for your self

"those who do not learn by the mistakes of the past are doomed to repeat them"

Oh but Mike I do learn from my mistakes, but I don't stop with just mine. One of things that history teaches us is how not to do things. Over and over we see hate feeding hate. Sorry you don't agree, but I'm just not programed for revenge. You can't make me believe that anything good will come from getting even. Oh sure it might make you feel better for a bit, but then the other side does it. Then you are right back where you started, wanting to get even. Sorry my friend but their has to be a better way. The way we do things now doesn't seem to work, let's learn from that!

I think it might be the Mormon or the Episcopalian terrorists that might be responsible for these acts. Anyone looking into them?

I think I remember seeing that somewhere.

THAT'S RIGHT the FBI can now sit in on the Wednesday night bible study lessons and NOT tell us who they are or why they are there!

I think we should surround Salt Lake City and maybe England--like a naval blackade. Nothin worse than getting your naval all up in a blockage.... That would teach them all.

Yes it would anon, let's do it.
