After the July 7 London bombings, some in the United Kingdom wondered whether the bombing was in retaliation for the British having troops in Iraq. Perhaps, they suggested, a withdrawal, emulating the Spanish appeasement after the March 2004 Madrid bombings, would prevent further attacks.

The troops caused this tragedy and the blood is on their hands... oh and Bush too... and Rove, did we mention Rove?

It is unfortunate that we are forced to fight morons on the left who argue in effect that we deserve it an morons, allegedly on the right, saying we should nuke Mecca.

God, I hope we can now stop hearing "Bringing democracy and a better way of life to the Middle East will stop terrorism!"
and
"These Muslims need more education and opportunity so they won't decide to be suicide terrorists!!"
and
"If we fight 'em there, we won't have to fight 'em here!"
All of which were shown to be 100% pure crap. The Londoners (hell, the 9/11 assholes too) lived in a free, democratic society. They had plenty of education and opportunity but due to being Islamic still considered and ultimately decided to choose a wasted, loser life of suicide terrorism.
ISLAM MUST REFORM. Without that, this will never end.

thanks.
i think many people after the london bombings are beginning to think that some realistic, powerful response is overdue.

Oh - Pulling out would Probably stop the TERRORIST bombings - At least until they stopped laughing about our Weakness and Stupidity...or until they decided there was Another reason to continue Jihad - Maybe because it is Thursday!!

You would seem to be right.
And what are the chances that Islam will reform from within without several cities annihilated as a compelling factor to change?

It'll take salt of the earth like the British 'soccer hooligans' to craft an appropriate response to this menace while your adored leaders and the rest of overeducated Westerners like this John Howard blabber historically ignorant nonsense in their inconsequential speechifying such as the following from your link:
"this is about the perverted use of the principles of a great world religion, that at its root preaches peace and cooperation".
Yeah, let's threaten to nuke Mecca and let the cockroaches stop and wonder if we are going to do it or not. A threat, and a little test somewhere in a nearby desert might just scare the sunni shiite out of them, which is something of the sort that the great Mark Helprin would probably recommend (look him up.)

Now that the lefties have a good man in John Roberts to kick around and smear, they'll forget about Rove. We'll probably hear in late August that nothing illegal occurred when the Grand Jury comes out with their findings. Anything about Cooper will be very much down played and anything even vaguely pertaining to Rove and Libby will be mis-portrayed as a condemnation of them.
