Here's something for you to think about...an article from a few days ago...
| quote: | 50 Terror Groups Believed to Be in Canada
By BETH DUFF-BROWN, Associated Press Writer Mon Jul 4, 2:07 PM ET
TORONTO - Though many view Canada as an unassuming neutral nation that has skirted terrorist attacks, it has suffered its share of aggression, and intelligence officials believe at least 50 terror groups now have some presence here.
They are from Sri Lanka, Kurdistan and points between and include supporters of some of the best-known Mideast groups, including al-Qaida, authorities say.
Osama bin Laden named Canada one of five so-called Christian nations that should be targeted for acts of terror. The others, reaffirmed last year by his al-Qaida network, were the United States, Britain, Spain and Australia.
The Canadian Security Intelligence Service, counterpart of the
CIA, said terrorist representatives are actively raising money, procuring weapons, "manipulating immigrant communities" and facilitating travel to and from the United States and other countries.
Besides al-Qaida, those groups include Islamic Jihad; Hezbollah and other Shiite groups; Hamas, the Palestinian Force 17, Egyptian Al Jihad and various other Sunni groups from across the Middle East, CSIS said.
CSIS said the
Irish Republican Army, Tamil Tigers and Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and major Sikh terrorist groups also have supporters in Canada.
The Air India bombing of 1985 was the deadliest terrorist attack on a commercial airliner prior to Sept. 11, with the government accusing Sikh terrorists living legally in Canada of taking down the airliner over Ireland, claiming 331 lives, most Canadian.
The separatist Tamil Tigers of Sri Lanka — whose followers helped start the trend in suicide bombings when they assassinated Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi in 1991 — have their political headquarters in a Toronto suburb.
Canada's clandestine Communications Security Establishment, which listens in on conversations and translates messages from foreigners under suspicion, has increased its annual budget by 57 percent since Sept. 11, and Canada has spent some $6.5 billion to beef up security along its border.
There currently are four Arab Muslim men in Canadian jails under "security certificates," which allow Ottawa to detain suspects without public trial or evidence in the name of national security. All four suspects argue they face risk of torture if returned to their native Algeria, Morocco,
Syria and Egypt. A fifth suspect, Adil Charkaoui, was granted conditional release in February but must wear an electronic tracking device and remain in Montreal. Human rights groups have condemned Canada for holding the men.
Canada adopted its Anti-Terrorism Act in the months that followed Sept. 11, yet only one man has been arrested under the act: Mohammad Momin Khawaja.
Born in Canada to Pakistani immigrants, Khawaja was arrested in March 2004 on suspicion of participating in and facilitating terrorist activities in London and Ottawa, according to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
Young men like Khawaja, 26, are representative of the type of recruits al-Qaida is after, CSIS said in a report recently made public by the Toronto Star.
"There is a direct threat to Canada and Canadian interests from al-Qaida and related groups," CSIS said. "Converts are highly prized by terrorist groups for their familiarity with the West and relative ease at moving through Western society."
The U.S. State Department has estimated there are 40 terrorist organizations with sympathizers or supporters in the United States. |

My heart goes out to all Londoners:confused: ...a very sad day & totally wasteful...This will accomplish absolutly NOTHING....haven't these terrorist ******s learned ANYTHING from history???...WHenever Londoners had been attacked by outside forces (I.E.: WW1 & WW2) that they are steadfast & a very proud people and will NOT be bullied:mad:
If these terrorist could put just ONE once of effort towards doing some good instead of destruction then this world would be a WHOLE lot better off....violence just doesn't work because there is ALWAYS a price to pay:sadgreen: |

Winston Churchill was one of a kind.
I say to the House as I said to ministers who have joined this government, I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears, and sweat. We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many months of struggle and suffering.
You ask, what is our policy? I say it is to wage war by land, sea, and air. War with all our might and with all the strength God has given us, and to wage war against a monstrous tyranny never surpassed in the dark and lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy.
You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs - Victory in spite of all terrors - Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival.

I only found out when i got to work. I just said to myself "and it starts". I think a lot of us saw this coming, as did most of England, but when it arrives, you are still shocked and scared.
I know that it could have been much much worse for the people of London, because their subway system does carry so many people every day. I hope most of them are ok, which the reports are now suggesting. I feel sorry for the families that are involved, because almost none of them have anything to do with foreign policy or international acts of war. It is unfair.
I just had a thought: could these attacks have been set up for any of the 5 possible cities going for the games? To me it just seems like too much of a coincidence that these attacks came a day after the olympic announcement. were they planning to attack the winning city and not just London? |

definatly, and you can tell on days like today when they have to give statements on the spot, and they sound nothing like their speaches do. Although that could be attributed to the shock. |

umm, and you think that they didn't have speech writers before?
still, if they have speech writers, shouldn't the speeches be at least semi good? |
