The London Bombings: How the U.S. and the U.K. Should Respond (Heritage Foundation)

Heritage Foundation ^ | 7/21/2005 | Nile Gardiner, Ph.D., and James Phillips

This is a long read, but really good. Nile Gardiner, the Heritage Foundation's Fellow in Anglo-American Security Policy, is a native of England. Before his current stint at Heritage, Gardiner was Foreign Policy Researcher for former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Working in her Private Office, Gardiner assisted Lady Thatcher with her latest book, Statecraft: Strategies for a Changing World, published by HarperCollins. He served as an aide to Lady Thatcher from 2000 to 2002, and advised her on a number of international policy issues.

Coordinate London and Washington’s Anti-Terrorist Lists. There is a striking discrepancy between the U.S. and U.K. lists of interna­tional terrorist organizations. (See Appendix 1.) The U.K. list omits over 15 organizations classified as terrorist groups by the U.S. Department of State. Washington and London should carefully coordinate their lists of pro­scribed groups and present a united position in the global war on terrorism.

The easiest first step is the coordination of these lists.

I hope "start racial profiling" is an addition.

The easiest first step is the coordination of these lists.

While they're at it, they could standardize their spelling.

"In response to the London bombings, the British government should:"

Profile ....
Not one moslem looking male should be allowed on any bus or train with a backpack or suitcase without being thoroughly
searched down to the shorts.
Walking should become a cost of being a moslem .
If they don't like , go home....

What the U.K. and the U.S. Should Do

Purge civilization of arab/paki islamics. Any others will get the message.

Australia and Canada would be wise to do so, too.

Above all, the terrorists are driven by an evil doc­trine of hatred and loathing, based on an extreme misinterpretation of Islam, that has as its ultimate goal the destruction of liberal democracy across the world, whether it be in the West or the Middle East, and the establishment of a Muslim Caliphate.

I was really enjoying the article until I came upon to that statement.

If the author doesn't know enough about Islam and its history to know that statement is baloney, then I wonder about his conclusions.

[Pyro7480]

Muslim looking male? You mean...

a.)
b.)
c.)

[swarthyguy]

Blah blah blah, more words.

Another article about Jihad that omits Saudi.

Perfect for wrapping fish and chips in.

[Pyro7480]

It's conservative political correctness. I don't doubt his conclusions are sound though.

[expatpat]

Close down all the mosques, which preach hate and murder. If they don't like it, go back to whatever ME sh1thole you or your parents came from.

[Pyro7480]

Saudi Arabia doesn't have anything directly to do with London, other than funding some of the madrassas where the terrorists were "educated."

[expatpat]

Sorry, "....they or their parents came from."

[JarheadFromFlorida]

Its time to unleash the soccer hooligans on these muzzie bastards. Either the muzzies police thier own ranks and get rid of the terrorists themselves or we get rid of all muzzies. Open up your country to these bastards and this is what we get? Over my dead body! Time for all muzzies to put up or shut up (or get out).

[Dark Skies]

It's conservative political correctness.

You may be right about his conclusions but I sure am losing patience with that PC Bu!!sh!t.

[swarthyguy]

Right. Let's keep fighting jihad but allow the purveyors of ideology and funds to keep indoctrinating and funding the people who want to kill everyone.

[newcthem]

I still believe the proper tact is to declare any imam, mosque, or group who preachs destruction of the country or war against the country to be "outlaw" or outside the protection of the laws of the country. Following this, any citizen could then take any action necessary to correct the problem without concern for legal consequences.
Since these pos do not want to recognize or obey our laws, why should they then have the protection our laws provide?

"He served as an aide to Lady Thatcher from 2000 to 2002, and advised her on a number of international policy issues."

I figure if Lady Thatcher was still in charge those children wouldn't dream of playing in tunnels and on buses.

God bless her.

[IM2MAD]

Maybe we could start by "eminent domaining" the terrorist's mosques.
