Terrorist scum.

Our Fault.

I guess France shouldnt have sent troops to Iraq huh?

The alligator eats its friends last. Soon, the alligator will have no friends.

I'm sure it's not Islamofascists, Mark. Couldn't be. Impossible. No way. Has to be someone else.

NYC, I hope that's a joke.

Disarming this bomb was some major provocation. THink of how much time the terrorists took to plant the thing. All disarming it does is make them angrier. There are probably 10 more boms planted out there for every one we disarm. Its in a bombs nature to explode, stopping a bomb from exploding, particularly by force, and certainly without some sort of international approval is just asking for more bombings. Arrogant cowboy French.

Its obviously islamic extremist, France opened up a can of worms when it passed that law prohibiting women from wearing religious headresses. Plus Chrivac had that nice letter sent to a french newspaper last week saying that france should expect increasing terrorist attacks.

johnnymozart: Well, it's obviously not Tony Foresta. It isn't long enough.

You forgot the Arab humiliation of having their bomb disarmed, Mark.

...and think about how much nastier the Nazis got after the Russians closed in on Hitler. Why, that war went on another 8 years!!

Better to hide under the bed with the Spanish electorate and the French bureaucracy.

The general opinion on this side of the pond is that this device (and according to their demands) several others have been planted by criminals whose only aim is monetary gain. Terrorism for profit...hmmmm....with the French Government as the "victims" who says there's no justice?

Speaking of Spain...does anyone know if the following theory has been considered:

ETA wants Aznar out, so does Al Queda.

If ETA bombs, Aznar's get tough policies look good. If Al Queda bombs, Aznar looks bad.

In many news reports (before and after Aznar's claims of ETA responsibility were proven false) the explosives used were reported to be either "Goma 2 Eco" or "Titadine". Both of these are repeatedly described as being of Spanish production and uniquely favored/used by ETA.

Is it a stretch too far to suspect that ETA might have actively assisted Al Queda by providing the explosives, and then let Al Queda take the glory? Both parties get what they want...

Any discussion of this?

..now that would be something but the bombing only changed the minds of the undecided in the election...(any parallels here),just goes to show you fear is such a serious weapon.
Until we understand this total war many are going to die [;0(-<

Mark: I guess France shouldnt have sent troops to Iraq huh?

I don't think so. Why? Because he wouldn't have made a difference.

Seriously. In the end we will all be in this together. And we (the western world) will find its way.

Your right Anthony, French troops would not have made a difference, but not for the reasons you believe. They could not be trusted with military information, since they would have betrayed that info to Saddam immediately. So if France had sent troops, Rumsfeld would have left them in some unstrategic corner to give the marsh arabs fashon advice.
