Yeah, this whole thing was nuts, it's only a small matter of time before we start seeing attacks like this here.

it really sucks. my grandparents are taking my cousin and aunt to London and france cause she just graduated and she's gonna major in French i think. they just left my house a few hours ago to fly out of JFK into London. i would not want to be going there at this time, and security must really suck

Hell, my aunt's office building (which is the second tallest building west of the Mississippi) was a hot target for a bombing until the govt. found out and stopped it. It's a lot more frequent than the public thinks.

Yeah last summer, I left for London, the day the story broke about the terrorist plot against UK to US flights. The security was ridiculous, I swear we waited on line for 3-4 hours to get through security. The times are a-changin.

I was at one of the locations of one of the car bombs (Piccadilly Circus) the night before they defused it (which was real early in the morning).

i guess i should've been a bit more clear. i meant american. most of the groups you listed werent from the US.
racial profiling is correct most of the time. the government uses racial profiling.
and what do you mean by how we conducted ourselves in the arabic world? we didnt provoke the 9/11 attacks.
the government uses racial profiling against minorities. if arabs should be screened for bombs and such, you should get pulled over every time you get behidn the drivers seat- you're irish, you're people drink.
and besides, terrorists wwill just stop using brown people for suicide bombs. instead, they'll force other people to do it- if they don't comply, they'll hold their families hostage.
