Something tells me Lib never lived in the South... if you do, I challenge you to go one day without meeting at least three people who will, if prompted, go on at length about the War of Northern Aggression, and how Lee was second only to Jesus in the history of great men.

And... why can't we just have a designated "blowing **** up area" of the planet where all the militant political types can go and shoot the **** out of each other, and the survivors from that are officially declared the "winners"? Somewhere nice and remote. Be nice for the terrorist types 'cos then they don't have to worry about, y'know, everyone percieving them as total bastards and uniting to get 'em and hence they can focus on what they're good at, be nice for everyone else 'cause you'd still get all the great dramatic news footage without the hassle.

Yeah, it's impractical 'cause it's not so much fun to kill people when it's okay to do so, but still. I like the image.

No.... we were going to wall up the Isle of Wight and use it for anarchists, weren't we?

We'll give the militant nutcases Milton Keynes - it'll improve the area.  Or Bognor Regis, cos the name sounds crap.

Seriously dude, I'm gonna make 'em do this **** on an island. Like the Isle of Mann, for example

Well, you could always use controlled nuclear explosions to create and island.

For your information I live in Alabama, Athens to be specific.  25 short miles from Huntsville, the Rocket City, down US Hwy 72.

Most people have the misguided impression that the South is the same as it was following the Civil War.  In point of fact we moved on long ago, we are technically advanced, industrially independant and quite content.  I have yet, in my 25 years, to encounter anyone who believes as you say we all do, and I take offense to the implication.  Why don't you come down here and live for a year and see if you think the same way.

Manassas, Virginia, which is actually relatively cosmopolitan compared to most places, all but five years of my goddamn life. Been around the rest of the region, seen if anything far more of the same. Dunno what Yankee-sympathizing aberration part of the South you live in, but everywhere else is, well, I was being downright charitable in my summation. Perhaps you should take a look outside your state, the rest of the region's always looked crosswise at Alabama for one reason or another anyways so it's hardly representative. The very fact that you can "take offense" at the idea of Confederate symps in the South shows how wholly disconnected you are from the area.

Aldo, the trick is to put them all on Skye, THEN use the Nuclear Weapons

Actually, no, use the Isle of Wight, Skye's quite nice

I wonder do the spainish people connect this to Spain's suport for the US? I would imagine they do, but I would hope they would think better than that

[Stryke 9]

Caught a headline on CNN.com said some al Qaeda sattelite had taken credit, but there wasn't anything more than that I don't think...

[Bobboau]

yeah, Brigade of Abu Hafs al-Masri

Geeeeezzzz Karajorma... I said mainly not only.......

About the turist "possible attacks" there's been a lot of speculation on that matter and also....

I've studied history, I've been in the basque region a couple of times and also I listen to the news often. Be sure I know what I'm talking about.

Anyway......It seems now that Al Qaeda is probably the author of the attacks so.... maybe...you might find that some things I said before have meaning.

I'm not disagreeing over whether ETA did it or not. I'm mearly saying people shouldn't be so quick to rule them out.
