Reality check: Car bombs in London
Friday, June 29 2007
Reality knocked hard this morning when I opened up my browser; I have news.bbc.co.uk as my start page. I had actually had to do a double-read on the main news story.
A massive car-bomb has been found in Central London and thankfully disarmed. The first reports are saying that a police officer removed a mobile phone used to detonate the bomb and took it out of range of the bomb. Thank you! You did it with your life on the line. Very quick thinking!!
And now, a second car-bomb was found and again thankfully disarmed in Central London.
The first one was definitely set-up to cause maximum deaths, outside a nightclub in West End, late at night when people have been partying = less then good reactions & clear thinking. The second one was aimed for the more affluent area.
There is always a risk to draw lines of conclusions when there might be a coincident, but the date is awful close to the 7 July terrorist attack.
And while on the subject of the 7 July terrorist attack, please while speaking of the dead: it was 52 innocent people that died that day. The 4 suicide bombers cannot be counted as people so do NOT use 56 as the number of dead. Always, always split the number between the people and suicide bombers as it is an insult for the innocent people to be lumped together the 4 suicide bombers.

The Failed London Terrorist Attack Could Happen Here!
Learn what could happen when the United States is hit by another terrorist attack by Islamic extremists that creates an extreme response by Washington in The Final Presidential Executive Order at http://www.swissconfederationinstitute.org/swisspreserve14.htm
This is from a new free online book, “The Swiss Preserve Solution†& how the over reaction dramatically curtails personal, financial, religious and civil liberties in the United States.

Ron – you are close to the line of too much selfpromotion with your comment. I have approved it since you are just not put a link in your comment. At the moment I don’t have my laptop to hands but I am going to read your links later.

And then look what happened in Glasgow!
I agree, Lizze.. terrorists (or other murderers) do not deserve to be lumped together with those innocents who died.
I have never understood why they think that murdering innocent people will endear anyone to their cause. It just makes me angry and unwilling to listen to their story.

It certain looks like UK is under a co-ordinated attack. From people that have been allowed to be free and live in open society … talking about biting the hand that feeds you.
At the end of all this, the Muslim community – assuming that these attacks from Muslims – will be the ones who end up seeing their rights & freedom being severely limited. They are going to look back on this and realize that SHOULD HAVE DONE what they could to stop the extreme elements within their religion.
Not just talking and pretending there are no problems.
