You're right it does tend to make me more, and more angry that they don't do something with them quicker. Why feed and house them for years. I feel deep down that if you are found as a terrorist, it should be an automatic death sentence. :mad: |

Location: Birmingham. U.K. | i totally agree with you Grilledcheese the only problem here is that here in the UK we have no death penalty and therefore end up having to pay for 25 years (if your very lucky) of upkeep for the bastards. |

Location: Ohio | And now that we're talking about killing terrorists, how about the bastards who have been molesting and killing our kids right here at home. How about that guy in Idaho who just got caught alive. How could that happen. He is a career child molester and murderer. How did he get caught alive?
Again, glad to hear our friends across the pond are safe.
See how you all get me dander up! LOL |

Location: SoCal | Revenge is often an irrational response.
Irrational response is rarely successful.
Force, however, is not necessarily revenge. The statement that the use of force begets more force may be true in some cases but throughout history, security has been effected by awareness, preparedness, security, and (when necessary) men-at-arms.
Aggressors are rarely rational, debate or concession are rarely effective. |

Location: Lake Hiawatha, New Jersey | Let me add my support and condolences to our brothers and sisters in London. I'm glad to hear that everyone on the OFC family is OK. Watching the images on TV brought back some awful memories of 9/11/01. I agree with those who want to see the terrorists killed, but unfortunately, they believe that it's an honor to be a martyr. It only strengthens their resolve. This mess in Iraq is proof of that. |

Location: Cicero, NY | Well said, Tony. I'm in complete agreement with security and discussion at all times, force when necessary. And John, you're also correct which is why this is a more difficult fight than we typically find ourselves in. I think that resolve and global unity against terrorism will prove to be the only source of resolution. |

Location: Barnoldswick, England | Thanks, you guys, for sending your messages to us here in the UK.
Your sentiments of what should be done to the bombers are echoed here by many people.
But I can't help believing that terrorism will never be stopped by simply bringing those responsible to justice, because there will always be someone else to take their place and the violence will never end.
What we need to do is solve the problems at the root of all this, otherwise innocent people of all nations will go on getting killed.
It's too huge an issue to go into here and I have no simple one-line answer to it (unlike cwk2's quotation!). Except maybe that hate never solved anything.
We've had terrorism and bombs here in the UK since the early 70s, from the IRA. While many, many US citizens sent their condolences, there were others in the US who funded this and similar organisations - and the violence continued. When is it OK for innocent people to die? It all depends on your personal viewpoint and religion, perhaps. |
