"This statement (from the linked article) concerns me, because now I have a mental picture of some unfortunate Chinese guy running desperately to try to catch the train, unable to understand the policemen's commands to stop. I really hope this is a PC misstatement, and that the man really looked Middle-Eastern, because I have a VERY hard time trying to conceive of a Chinese suicide bomber."

Asian = Pakistani (The eyewitness expressedly said the suspect "looked Pakistani". The suicide bombers of 7/7 and 21/7 were Pakistani.

"That's true,about our mainstream media. They would like conservatives in America to believe that we're isolated and scorned in this world"

All the more reason for wealthy private citizens fed up with the elite lefts agenda, band together and create more radio and cable tv programs to counter balance the intentionally bias pinko leftist propaganda machine that has manipulated minds in America for far too long.

Given the present situation, I think you'd be a lot happier if your cops carried glocks.

It sure sends a message to other would be bombers.

Let THEM have to look over their shoulders every other minute.

No, but after staying up all night, all I can say is, "I don't make the laws."

The U.K. is teeming with thousands of Islamic militants given asylum under the U.K. asylum laws. Some of their spiritual leaders have called for the destruction of the U.K. and the imposition of Sharia law. They should go first.

Another reason to aim for the head: bullets and unstable explosives don't react well together.

The other day on CNN Soledad O'Brien was interviewing a well-off Black couple whose 15 year old son had been killed by other Black teenagers for his iPOD.

Her first question to them was "DO YOU BLAME iPOD?"

They don't get it at all. They have decided that it's our fault for having succeeded and if we would just quit being successful and providing our children with items that cause others to be envious, the problem would go away.

Keep on keeping on. Behave as normal. That's the only way to keep them at bay.

Don't be too concerned about innocent Chinamen. "Asian" is generally used in Britain to describe Pakistanis, Indians and assorted others.

"'Too early to detail security revamp'"
news.com.au ^ | 22nd July 2005 | Belinda Tasker

Posted on 07/22/2005 4:42:13 AM PDT by naturalman1975

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "PRIME Minister John Howard says it's too early to say how Australia will revamp its anti-terror laws, but he will keep a close watch on changes introduced by Britain.


After London's second bomb attacks in a fortnight yesterday, Mr Howard announced plans to beef up anti-terrorism laws, saying those in place had to be changed to keep up with the threat of terrorists using technology to commit crimes.


British Prime Minister Tony Blair has been urged by police to strengthen their powers to hold terrorists for up to 90 days without charge.


During a meeting with police chiefs, Mr Blair was also asked to consider establishing a special border force, and to introduce a new offence of failing to disclose encryption keys, gadgets used by terrorists to hide secret computer files.


Mr Howard said it was too early to say if such ideas would be part of the Federal Government's review of security following the July 7 bomb attacks in London, which killed 56 people including an Australian man.


He said he had talked with Mr Blair yesterday about Britain's plans to strengthen its laws.


"It's too early for me to make any specific judgments about (possible changes), except to say that when something like July 7 occurs, you need to keep anti-terrorist laws under constant review," he told the BBC's Radio 4 in London.


"We certainly can learn a lot in relation to the security of our mass transit systems.""

A lot do realize it, which is why it's annoying to hear it. Asian describes half the world's population. That doesn't narrow it down very well.

Seems like a good way to be able to do a quick "look-see" of a suspected jihadi armory . . .

No they don't. Now go back forty years before ipods, I had a friend whose father was killed, stabbed to death for his hand held pocket radio. Empty beer cans don't litter people do, guns don't kill people do, pocket radios-ipods don't kill people do, etc., etc.,

They capped a suspected terrorist in London this morning.

Appearently some sort of intelligence agency, (not sure if it was the special "sdhot to kil" squads,) In any case, he jumped a turn style, they ordered him to stop, he didn't, he tripped, two jumped on top of him and then they capped him 5 times.

I know Brits use the word. This time it was a US host of a US TV network broadcasting to a US audience.
