    So the difference between a funny terrorist attack and a tragedy is .... luck? A failed bomb component? The issue that you seem to be missing is that there is a relatively large group of Europe's citizenry that if they don't advocate violence, they at least believe that it might be justified in the name of religion. So while you sit there smug in your assertion that these bombers are incompetent and a source of amusement, there is reason to believe that there may be others who will "get lucky" and wipe the smile of your face.

      And yet they were in support of him before the bombings and against him immediately afterwards. Strange how that works, huh? Just face it. Your people were scared into voting socialist. Terrorism dictated your votes.

      Displaced implies that I'm here through some external and undesirable force. I'm here because it's the best country on earth. A country that is so good, that it can afford to put its criminals behind bars where they belong.

      Never heard of floating voters? O right now I understand, it's a foreign concept for you died-in-the-wool red necks isn't it? You'll take any sh** as long as it's from the same neo-cons and not believe anything to the contrary, ever, and when faced with facts you don't like you'll label them as left-wing propaganda. The PP tried to blame it onto ETA, it was obvious it wasn't them to the floating voter, obviously, so they voted with the obvious outcome.

              Give it up, dude. Your country of wussies allowed terrorists to dictate your election. You might euphemistically call them "floating voters", but the fact remains: Your socialist candidate won because terrorists told Spain to elect him...And you did.

                The problem is with fundamentalism; be it Christian or Islamic. As I've mentioned in the past try reading "Confessions of an Economic Hitman" by one of your very own and you might just see why there is anger against your rule.

                  I wonder when Spain will get bombed a second time? I also wonder what the terrorists will want the Spanish to do next? You know, so there "isn't a 3rd time" or anything... If it were me, I'd just make stuff up at random: Colour your flag purple or we'll bomb ya! Make your politicians dance instead of debate! Shut down all your trains between 3pm and 7:13pm on the third Sunday of every 2nd month or....we'll bomb you!

                    So you would prefer that they had been successful? You have som unexplained need to be proud of your terrorists? As far as I can tell from the reports, the cars failed to explode because they were discovered before they were due... And as for Glascow, well it looks like it did a fair piece of work on the airport terminal... And you should be embarrassed, but for your post, not your good luck.

                    I travelled through that terminal in GLA yesterday. It looks like it'll need a new set of doors and some replaced panels that melted a wee bit. Perhaps a coat of paint. It didn't look too bad actually. It is a reasonable sized airport and while repairs are underway it can be worked around quite easily.

                      Yeah, those Christian fundies. Man, when they bombed that.... oh, hmmm. I mean, when they killed all those...uh, hmmm, Uh, yeah all those Christians who want to institute their will and laws... oh, wait.. Gee, maybe you can remind me of the last act of terrorism by Christians? I can't seem to remember it...

He expects me to believe that he took a 500,000 dollar "bribe" to not publish a book that could have made him a millionaire multiple times over IF IT WERE TRUE?

What you (and that Matt Faithfull guy) don't seem to understand is that conspiracy stories are just that - conspiracy STORIES. They're all like designed with an agenda. Take Perkins - he makes a lot of money, but nothing ever comes of his allegations. Why? Because they're not true...where are the investigative committees? The judicial hearings? The international outcry? Not there. All lies... I'm surprised at how gullible you are.

                        Of all the places on earth to try to scare Glasgow has got to be the dumbest. I noticed there was no shortage of passers by who put a boot in. Probably the only reason they put the men out was so they could continue beating ten bells out of them. I guess we're seeing the down side of suicide bombing. It looks like the stock of competant bombers has run a little low. The serious ones must have gone to Afganistan or Iraq. Strangley this was part of the western strategy: If they want to fight better it's on their land. One thing that really bemused me was the use of gas canisters. There is NO WAY that surrounding them with pertrol would cause them to explode. They're built to withstand that. You would have to strap a good amount of explosive to the side of one to get that effect.

                                  Of all the places on earth to try to scare Glasgow has got to be the dumbest. I noticed there was no shortage of passers by who put a boot in. Probably the only reason they put the men out was so they could continue beating ten bells out of them. I guess we're seeing the down side of suicide bombing. It looks like the stock of competant bombers has run a little low. The serious ones must have gone to Afganistan or Iraq. Strangley this was part of the western strategy: If they want to fight better it's on their land. One thing that really bemused me was the use of gas canisters. There is NO WAY that surrounding them with pertrol would cause them to explode. They're built to withstand that. You would have to strap a good amount of explosive to the side of one to get that effect.

                                  Philosophy: The art of never getting beyond the concept of life.

                                  Gas canisters - the other day UK Channel 5 tv news demonstrated (in a quarry) the effect an exploding gas canister could have. Anyhow, I have lost count the number of times that the Fire Brigade instruct residents to leave their houses when a local garage (or whatever) has a fire whenever gas canisters of whatever kind are on the premises. Even if they don't blow-up, they take an awful amount of time to cool to a safe condition, that is if they don't behave like a guided missile.

                                    Yeah, but it wasn't "organized resistance" against the West...not like Islamic fundamentalism. On another note, I'm learning alot about behaviour on this message board - specifically that it's full of Islamic fundamentalist and communist apologetics. Amazing really. Their Westernculture is being directly assaulted (with the specific intent to destroy it) and they want to start apologizing for things we have apparently done "wrong". Baffling. Baffling. Basically I've learned that if I want something from someone (especially from Spain) I should punch them for no reason, then make my demands and then force them to apologize to me for the non-reason I punched them! Do you find that behaviour as fascinating as I do?

                                        So laughable some of us don't believe it.;)

                                        Nothing is exactly what it seems but everything with seems can be unpicked.

                                          I think self-destruction and self-loathing are leftist traits, though not one that I can understand. It seems to manifest itself in many ways: 1. Environmentalism: It's often suggested that humanity should be subjugated to nature...That humanity' influence (and even population) should be limited. 2. Immigration: Immigrant with cultures specifically different from our own should have preference over those with similar cultures, thus eliminating the predominant culture in the long run. 3. War: Rather than stand up for your country, we should allow others to dictate our politics. If you ask me, I suspect that those feelings come from the fact that leftists reject Natural Law and instead believe that their fundamental rights are derived from society or the state. Somehow, I just think that leads them to believe that they need to completely abandon their personal interests to benefit the state. They don't view themselves as men...But instruments of the collective society. But that's just a guess. I really don't get it.
