Home to roost, our sins have found us out?

Please do not misunderstand me, I am not in anyway trying to justify what these two men did in London in any way or shape, but...

these two men will have to stand before a court of law and try to justify why they did what they did.

people are calling it barbaric and horrific but how would we feel if they had put a bomb in a shop and killed 20 people, how would we feel if that was being done every week or even 3 times a week ?

how would we feel in the UK if an army from another country, lets say China dropped a bomb on a wedding party in Manchester killing 56 people, men women and children and the Chines government said, sorry about the mess but one of the guests was a wanted terrorist.

would we in the west except that would we just say, well that's ok then, no we would be up in arms and rightly so but our military along with America are doing this in our name in Afghanistan and Pakistan how can we do these things and then talk about justice and the rule of law

    Basic human nature simply does not allow you to cheer on your government as it carries out massive violence in multiple countries around the world and then have you be completely immune from having that violence returned.

    You are all welcome to sit around a table to decide who threw the first stone.

    We did not start the war in Afghanistan the muslims did, we are trying to bring peace, but it will never work as Russia found out. I don't agree with the war in Iraq that was just based on oil. I think we should not give these 2 any form of publicity and it should be a closed Court. They want to be seen as martyrs which they are not. Don't forget we were bombed repeatedly by the IRA and innocent people were killed.

    Home to roost

    We take so much for granted in this country and the western world in general, and much if not nearly all of we take for granted was paid for by blood, the blood of our past kin.

    You make many valid points which I agree with, but there is always the other side of the coin, the other side being the silent majority that suffer, that go hungry, that go homeless, that have no access to education and health care, that are permanently locked in grinding poverty, not only in the here and now but also in the far distant foreseeable future.

    If people in this country think that this governments only intention is to fight terrorism and terrorists then your being badly let down by your government.

    Its all well and good these terrorists (home grown and foreign) using and highlighting the deaths caused by western bombs but they make no mention of there own atrocities inflicted on their own people (which I would imagine are nearly always intentional.) all in the name of some warped insane ideology that has nothing to do with the religion that they claim to fight for, nothing.

    All they fight for is misery

    These terrorists rule by fear, by intimidation, threats of death and violence to oneself and ones family, we have no idea what the Innocent people in these countries have to cope with, because of these terrorists, no idea.

    And if we decide to do nothing then like a fire in a block of houses it will surely come home to roost.

    Sorry, there has been plenty of warning about this over the years, but I blame people that for decades voted for Labour Liberal and Conservative. Those are the real NUT cases in Britain, as the writing has been on the walls for years, and those voters and nut cases virtually placed the knives and cleavers in the hands of those (homegrown) radicals, that have been 'radicalised' to hate us by the very people that the LibLabCON and it's failed MC PC experiment unleashed upon the rest of us, by letting anybody in, without any checks, without any consideration to the mainly peace loving people of this country, whether they be black, white, green or yellow. No you are simply reaping what you sow. The next time we do a drone attack, it won't be in my name, it will be under the name of all who voted and STILL vote for the LibLabCON. If that is you, then I am sorry if that offended you. Vote for someone that did not create the mess that was made in your name. PEACE.

    Perhaps if the Muslim terrorists had not started this war, they would not have allied forces fighting them in their homelands now?

    We did not start this and taking the fight to their home is better than waiting for them to attack us in our homes.

    This act of terrorism was not related to any military actions in any foreign country, it is just the face of this so called religion of peace once again demonstrating that their idea of peace is to kill all non Muslims.

    You are trying to justify it. It is wrong no matter where you are. They were not justified doing this.
