Originally posted by ChicoThe logic of the peaceniks is that if we did not go to War in Iraq then there would be no Muslim terrorist threat.
There will always be a terrorist threat in any western country, but when we invaded Iraq it gave extremists another big stick to beat the UK with.

Rubbish
Terrorism in the UK and Spain started after the Iraq War? Oh dear - hmm let me think.... our home grown Nail bomber, the IRA, Spain's ETA etc the British Muslims who went to the Taliban training camps did so long before Sept 11 - they were preaching their hate since the 80's and the only reason no atrocities were committed was beacuse they were prevented. According to the MET 6 major attacks were prevented on UK soil. The logic of the peaceniks is that if we did not go to War in Iraq then there would be no Muslim terrorist threat. A few keywords for you to put into Google - Jihad, Infidel, Abu Hamza, Sheikh Omar Bakri etc etc ... and sort it by date.

Asymmetric warfare
Ever since 11 September 2001, military and political analysts have mooted the concept of "asymmetric warfare" to explain the rise of suicide bombing.
In classical terms, it means that rebel insurgents unable to fight a conventional war have to resort to guerrilla tactics against powerful states.
These methods range from suicide bombings to weapons of mass destruction, terrorism and cyber warfare.
In sum, the current spate of suicide bombings is an expression of desperation by groups unable to reach their political and military objectives through conventional means, analysts say.
Bombers targets symbols of power
And whilst being a cost-effective means of war - compared to a large-scale military operation - many argue that the tactic has usually not brought the desired results.
To illustrate, they point to the election of the right-wing Likud Party of Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon in response to the Palestinian bombs.
But, as the assassinated leader of Hamas once argued, the Palestinian militants would continue using suicide bombers.
"Once we have warplanes and missiles, then we can think of changing our means of legitimate self-defence," Sheikh Ahmed Yassin was quoted as saying in the book Dying to Kill: The Allure of Suicide Terror. "
So see Dodgy, it was not just my view -- I suppose these analysits are anti-West right?

Problem of this century is that a very small determined group of people can seriously disrupt life or even take many lifes in pretty much any place.

That's quite clearly so, but why do you think that is ?
I would suggest that it is because the West perceive the East as a major threat to the West's way of life, and their plans for the rest of the world. Hence, the East are fighting back.
Now...here comes the real kicker..
You see, the East perceive the West as a major threat to the East's way of life, and their plans for the rest of the world. Hence, the West are fighting back.
The bitter irony and simplicity is laid bare.
It's when people of both sides layer reasons and cite this and that as being the root causes, that the waters became muddied.
It can only end when one side destroys the other, which is a less desirable solution than both sides packing up, going home, and not playing with each other any more.

Of corse it's not limited to the west. Hell can see many on the muslim side acting same way.
But problem is in the west is that they have the will, power and mindset to attempt to force their way on others and are currently doing so.

Indeed NSW, but I think you'll find that trait is not just limited to the West.
I am sure there is a power group based on (religious/ethnic/cultural/whatever) views in country X that does not agree with another power group based on (religious/ethnic/cultural/whatever) views in country X, where X = any country in the world.
If it's not religion, it's race, if it's not race, then it's social status, if it's not social status, then it's the colour of your hair, if it's not the colour of your hair, it's the type of biscuits you eat, etc..etc..etc...ad infiniteum.
Way of life, beliefs, whatever, cross politcal and geographical boundaries, and sometimes meet the opposite views head on, coming the other way.

It all boils down to mutual incompatability with each others views.Last edited by Not So Wise; 8 July 2005, 01:38.
