Navaros is posting claims in a different thread that the UK is getting it's just desserts. Now, as I found it entirely inappropriate to engage him there, I figured I'd start another thread to answer him.

Here was his post:

because most of you are shocked. and spooked. exactly how Al Qaida wants you to feel. you are doing them a service by being freaked-out over this. the hysteria on these boards and everywhere else too, makes them feel overjoyed. if you hate them so much, why would you want them to feel that way?

starting a war - as Bush and Blair did - and then expecting that "your side" will not have any major casualities, is unrealistic. everyone knew the type of tactics that Al Qaida uses. by provoking them, it was bound to encourage more of such tactics.
Navaros, if you really believe the Terror War started in October, 2001 , you're crazier than I thought you were.

Let's do a quick running tally:

1993: Al Queda bombs the WTC. They fail to knock it down, causing a loss of face.

1996: Al Queda blows up the Khobar towers in Saudi Arabia. The local authorities, afraid of a backlash, refuse to cooperate in the investegation.

1998: Al Queda blows up the US Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. Clinton responds months later by launching cruise missles at an abandoned training facility in Afghanistan and an aspirin factory in Sudan.

2000: AlQueda blows up the USS Cole. Again, nothign is done.

Sep 2001: Al Queda blows up the WTC (this time, succesfully) and the Pentagon.

Oct 2001: US & UK begin operation to drive Taliban & Al Queda out of Afghanistan and return majority rule.

And from all of that, you get that we started all of this and we're getting what we deserve? If you truly hate the West and Western people 1/10 as much your screeds would imply, why the %!$ are you here!? Act like you got a pair and go move to one of these fundamentalist paradises. Tell them about how all who don't follow Christ's teachings deserve death, and let's just see how long your sorry ass lasts. Cause honestly, speaking as a Christian, we don't need your kind. It's your lot that drives the unbelievers away, because they fear Christ and his followers due to your insane ranting.
