"And Germans are left to wonder why they are the latest target. Why the country's strong opposition to the invasion of Iraq and overthrow of Saddam Hussein didn't inoculate it from terrorism. In short, their question is, "Why us?"" Because the terrorists CAN. That's why.
"One possibility: Although Germans (and their government) vociferously opposed the war in Iraq, the nation is engaged in the war against terror. German forces are taking over more responsibilities in the protection of Afghanistan from the resurgent Taliban."
Here is another possibility: they hate you because you're not Muslim and thus they want to kill you.
Just a guess.

When are the leftist idiots going to realize that the problem lies NOT with the behavior of Britain, India, Indonesia, Germany and the US, but with the behavior of Islamofacists.....

In short, their question is, "Why us?" Because you are infidel swine worthy of only rape, slavery, murder and occupation (says so right in the koran).

(My common ground with terrorists - They want to die for Islam, and we want to kill them.)
To: Onelifetogive
Although the islamofascists are the heart of the problem, the way most European counties have chosen to deal with them leaves them wide open. France, Spain and now Germany are seeing the fruits of their non-actions. No one is safe. The best defense is and always will be a good offense.

Germany isn't getting too worked up about some failed terrorism attempt. You might be getting a wrong picture from this article. And I should know because I am riding that particular train every day.
To: Schweinhund
And "Why do they hate us?" seems like a pretty american question to me. There's a million of reasons to hate us. And I don't acknowledge one of them.
To: Schweinhund
It sounds as though you're fortunate that the bombs didn't go off.
Next time you may not be so lucky.

Germany isn't getting too worked up about some failed terrorism attempt.Swell. I suppose it will take real blood and real mangled bodies on a train platform to get them "worked up".
Then they'll probably blame President Bush.

Yeah. Or I may trip and break my neck while cleaning the outside of my window.
To: neverdem
Wake up you snoozing idiots of Western Europe. the Mooselimbs are after you too. You have what they don't have and that is freedom. They want to impose their hate on you as well as the U.S. and Israel. They are the Religion of Hate. Hell awaits them. An everburning hell from which there is no relief.
To: Schweinhund
Oh brother. In no way shape or form was I suggesting that you should stop taking the train or anything along those lines. I certainly haven't stopped flying because of 9/11.
I think maybe you're missing the point.

I just wanted to let you know that there won't be a Muslim Kristallnacht anytime soon. But I WOULD be for the Bundeswehr on a plane to Iran, not because they are Muslims, but because they are Terrorist-supporting, Nuke-building madmen.
To: Schweinhund
"There's a million of reasons to hate us. And I don't acknowledge one of them."
You sound like my husband. (Part German) LOL.
You could have said,"I don't acknowledge one of them. I know nothing. Nothing."
I had to do it. I just could not help myself. :)
To: ncountylee
Because they're fat, lazy, fornicating, pork-sausage eating infidels?
