More Americans have now been killed in Iraq than in 9/11
http://news.yahoo.com/s/huffpost/20060912/cm_huffpost/029234
And yet, funny how we are constantly inundated with 9/11 reminders and apparent suggestions that it was the most appalling tragedy man has endured while at the same time the US government and right wing media play down the number of those killed in the Iraq war.
You have to wonder how there can be even a single person in the entire world, let alone a few million, who still thinks Bush is not a useless utter cunt.

It was an attack on Syria, or if not Syria most definitely the Syrian regime. Syria is surprisingly secular; any attack by extremist Muslims with a fundamentalist religious agenda can fairly be interpreted as an attack on that regime. (Hence why the Syrians responded with such vigour).
All decent people were offended and disgusted by 9/11.
The WTC was full of multinational companies; many of those killed even worked for non-US owned companies. Of the dead scores of nationalities were represented. The WTC featured global interests and any attack on NYC, one of the most diverse cities in the world is in practice an attack extending well beyond the US.
You talk as if the Iraq war somehow justifies British Pakistanis blowing themselves up. The simple fact is Britain, like the US was attacked on 9/11. The fanatics are committed to the destruction of the West; they wouldn't even spare France - for the sake of our future security this war that we did not seek is one we must win.
Anybody who thinks terrorists blinded by a truly fanatical ideology are going to suddenly shelve their desire for a worldwide Islamic state if we pull out of Iraq is truly clueless.
Not this crap again.
Not nearly as blind as those who think terrorist attacks such as 7/7 in London, 9/11 in America or 11/3 in Madrid had nothing to do with the double standards of the West and its disgustingly one-sided policies in the Middle East.
Eh?
True. Just as all decent people are offended and disgusted by Israel's attack on Lebanon and by their actions in Gaza.
It was an attack on (a) the US and (b) what are perceived to be the symbols of western decadence
Errr...no he isn't.
Errr...no. The US was attacked on 9/11.

Although of course the 7/7 bombers recorded videos of themselves saying that Iraq was part of the reason for doing it. But hey, you know better, right?
So terrorists should dictate British foreign policy? Our foreign policy is formulated by our democratically elected government; a significant change in direction would naturally come through the ballot box in a democracy. Those that seek to change our foreign policy based on the threats of terrorists wish to surrender a fundamental part of our democracy and further, one has to wonder where they would stop. We could for instance almost certainly markedly reduce the threat of Islamic terrorism if we adopted Sharia law, exiled Jews and flogged homosexuals but no decent person would support such backward proposals to appease the barbaric enemy craving our destruction.
If the attack had been successful it would have incited instability and tensions and caused problems for the Syrian regime. Syria is a relatively secular state, it's basically a totalitarian state too and the regime keeps a very close watch on different groups. An extremist Islamic group (that presumably attacked the Embassy) is going to be hostile to the regime and such groups through their extreme religious agenda challenge the secular nature of the Syrian regime.
even MI5 said before we went to iraq, that it would increase the chances of a terroist attack on britain...... they were right
And we all know how fucking incompetent the Foreign Office are.
Our foreign policy should alter depending on the effect it has in the world, if that's what you mean.
V recent history begs to differ with you there dis. The majority of people didn't want the war in Iraq.
Our foreign policy is based on threats too. Its all a matter of degree really. But tell me - where do you think we'd be with the situation in Northern Ireland today of we hadn't negotiated with Sinn Fein and the IRA?
This is just random gibberish dis. You can argue better than that, come on.
It was an attack on the US dis, its nonsense to suggest anything else.
