One thing we can count on: They'll do what it takes to root out these terrorist cells.*Doug

Dang right! Over 7 million mini-cams on every street corner in England watching the local punk rockers get it on in the Pubs. Over 40 million British citizens disarmed by their government so they can't defend themselves against the Muslin Hord. Holding and arresting unknown numbers of "persons of interest" in unknown or locations in secret dentention camps. Over 7 thousand British agents in various secret government enforcement units spying on British citizens without warrents.

Yes Sir! Brit Author old George Orwell was right about British citizens. They would surrender their personal individual rights or liberty at the first sign of insecurity.

Gee! Has Dick Cheney move to England?

Doug,

Can you please cite the source you used in coming to the conclusion that this was 'Islamic terrorists'?

Mr. Burch, do you have any evidence that they were *not* Islamic terrorists?

The IRA never shout allah akhbar when carrying out attacks.

I think there are some encouraging signs actually when considering these latest attacks, if one can look for good news in such a thing.

The first two car bombs seemed kind of ameteurish from the accounts given (I don't think the bombs are supposed to smoke first before they explode, but I could be wrong) and the Glasgow attack was just guys driving a car through a window and lighting themselves on fire, which is probably something many people doing the 9 to 5 grind contemplate in the middle of their average work day.

Could this indicate a weakening in the command and control stucture of Al Qida or at least a depletion in the ranks of the more competent terrorists and rank amateurs stepping in?

No doubt about that! If you now believe that the jeep was driven by two teen age camel drivers docs in training, than you are a candiate for the whole DVD's 007 James Bond series at Blockbusters.

Sure they do! As former Knight's Templars, they alway shout out " Belzubub rules" at the King of France.

Well, Mr. Burch, it's been two days and all eight people arrested can accurately be described as "Islamic terrorists." Not that I expected any different.

What's scary is that many of these terrorists are doctors - well-educationed, financially well-to-do people. That's why you can't blame societal conditions for radical terrorism.

Kudos to the British law enforcement for stopping this attack before anyone was hurt.

Apparently, the suspects in Britain are Muslims first and doctors second.
Many Muslims are fanatical, and want to destroy all non-Muslims and their way of life.
Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists involved in attacks such as this are Muslim.

And it can happen right here any day.

Jaycee:

"...but all terrorists involved in attacks such as this are Muslim." If Timothy McVee (Oklahoma City) and Baruch Goldstein (massacre at the Tomb of the Patriarchs) were still around, they would beg to disagree with the Muslim label. Sadly, Eric Rudolph (NC's own) and Ted Kaczynski (unabomber) are around and available to disagree.

If we're talking about suicide bombings, as the attack in Glasgow was intended, jaycee is right. Who else is using these tactics?

To the victims, it doesn't much matter whether the attacker is suicidal (as Goldstein almost certainly was) or not. Being suicidal only decreases the chance of repeating the act (as Rudolph did). As the idiots in Glasgow demonstrated, suicidal intent is not enough to guarantee success.

Unfortunately, Muslims do not have a monopoly on these tactics. Hindus in India and Sri Lanka have also engaged in suicide attacks. There have also been suicide attacks in recent years by Chinese. Although Harris and Klebold used a combination of explosives and handguns, they could be fairly described as suicidal as could Mr. Cho.
