Acerz492 1 Posted July 8, 2005 The GLA are definatly fun to play with..however it's a toss up between both the USA and China. Back on topic, If the US military are our only hope..then I'm scared..what about the British, Austrailian, and the European military? Share this post Link to post

Thierry 0 Posted July 8, 2005 Funny as it is, nukes keeps the peace as it is, since no-one wants to wage war with the threat that they might be on the recieving end of one, but if one guy throws one, then its nuclear confetti all around Share this post Link to post
Guest MadBadger Posted July 8, 2005 The toll is only going to go up. The bus was full me and a mate worked out there are 40 people who were in seats that were destroyed and the bus was full so i think this 2 people from the bus just means 2 identified people. As for the tube heres what i found on it London - Police chiefs admitted on Friday that they do not know how many bodies are still lying in the wreckage of an underground (Tube) train following the terrorist attacks in the capital. The instability of a tunnel between King's Cross and Russell Square Stations in central London meant they were having "difficulty at one of the bomb scenes", said police chief Ian Blair. It is now known that more than 50 people were killed in the explosions on three underground trains and a bus and more than 700 injured. "There is great difficulty in deciding or determining how many fatalities because two of the scenes are very difficult in terms of recovery", Blair said. He admitted that police did not know how many bodies were still on the wrecked train. However, he rejected suggestions that the number of victims of the blasts could rise to more than 100. "It's yet to be the case for us to get near the carriage. There is a risk of the tunnel being unsafe. I ask everyone's patience as we progress this matter", said deputy police chief Andy Hayman It dosnt look good it is the worst attack on london since the bliz. Today when I was at east croydon there was just a quietness and everyone still looked stuned and shocked as they read the papers. But im sure london will recover and come back. As they say an eye for an eye, I hope no inocent muslems get caught up in unnessasary violence one of my mates is a muslem and hes discusted with this as is everyone, not all muslems belive in this damn stupid Jhaid crap.

Mina Synd 0 Posted July 8, 2005 if it was dirty bombs the whole of london would have been fenced off by now o.o; luk3us is right. most armies are like a broad sword though the nuke thing is the same. haven't you people ever seen the movie "The Mouse That Roared"? although a comedy it does hold true with many unwritten diplomatic rules. for example the "little countries" don't care if the big ones have nukes. they are going to be wiped out anyway in the longrun so why would it matter if they get destroyed now? therefore they have no fear of them. the armies have the same deal... we can't weed out all the terrorists without mass genocide of the middle east. The only way we're going to stop them is if we all upgrade security to a point that any suspicious person gets arrested. then we've still lost (well... not for those that are law-abiding like me) They may be a small group of relatively poor countries but unless we literally remove them from the map, there is no way you can stop them. and i doubt any goverment nowadays will stoop so low as mass genocide...

There's is another way to defeat terrorism, patience is one thing, we also need to relise that ANYONE at ANYTIME can become a terrorist, the only way we can stop this is either kill everyone or analyse the reasons why they become terrorist. As for the misunderstanding of my last post, I am for getting rid of Al Qaeda, but being obsessed with one and only one particular terrorist organisation will do us no good except overlook the vast amount of other terrorist forces and create more support for Al Qaeda, hence more recruits. I'll say again, I really don't think this group isn't related at all to Al Qaeda except in name, these days its beneficial to a terrorist group to claim it is or associated with al Qaeda as it creates more fear, oh and the fact that this attack was co-ordinated is NOT an Al Qaeda trait, any self respecting terrorist group can do that, ETA and the IRA have done that for example. Fact is, it doesn't matter in terms of defeating terrorism whether its Al Qaeda or not, what matters is that a bunch of pyschopaths have committed horrific genecide and that this must be prevented in future.

Dr lovecraft? o.O guess i must have missed that one... i prefer Dr Strangelove myself gotta agree with hypnotist on the RA3 comment though. Even if only game/media related it would be good to have something to do where we could at least mentally feel like we were fighting back ^^; Share this post Link to post
Waraddict 0 Posted July 8, 2005 Not related but for the madrid bombs ETA had help from Al-quieda Er no, the ETA were not involved at all in that Madrid Train bombing, but what they did do before was a series of organised bombs along popular British holiday spots. And yes Mina, I would say definetly not an IRA attack, the IRA always warns the police before hand and uses much more powerful bombs, of course with a warning they haven't killed anywhere near as this many people, I would also say it was definetly done by radical muslims.
