that, and i don't think it's that we don't care about terrorist actions in other countries, it's more that we didn't feel like we were affected by it until 9/11. 9/11 wasn't just about a hatred of americans, it was about a hatred for western culture (as near as i can tell). the world is so much smaller now than it was fifty years ago, so global involvement in the fight against these organizations is imperative to global security and in the hope of global peace.
sorry this is piece meal, but i'm just typing as i'm thinking what pops into my head. now i'll read some of the reviews...
============
Bang!.... the post was put up because of a comment made by another user who stated that if you looked back 10 years you'd be hard pressed to find a single terrorist attck that wasn't perpetrated by a muslim.
This was to highlight the fact that global terrorism operates on a scale far larger than I think MOST people realise.
It was deliberately aimed at baiting American people because there are a LOT of them who visit this site and I wanted to hear from as many people as possible.

No race has proven more stupid and uglier (fat and badly dressed).
As for wealth, it is so badly distributed that chances are that you're just a nigger.

I don't want to contribute to your stupid list you ripped off of a google search.
You didn't leave a real question for me to answer, just some snobbish remark about me not traveling or reading.
I've never left the states because I have no money to do so. Does that mean I am some sort of uneducated hill billy? And for the little reading remark, that trend seems to be applicable towards all western countries. Apathetic youth exist outside of America.
Dumbass.

i think it has to do with the scope of the 9/11 attacks, and how they are so recent in our history. the british have been dealing with the IRA for decades, the israelis have been dealing with... well, pretty much since the beginning of time they've been getting fucked with by someone.
with us, it has been mostly few and far between until this last decade, and even then, it wasn't really ever on US soil. people never want to see 3000 people die in one day, no matter what the cause. they especially don't want to see it on national tv.
plus, the fact that it was a(seemingly) unprovoked act in a time of international peace, contributed to our country's anger.

Of course I was aware of terrorism before 9/11. How do you expect to get anything except a negative rating for pasting some names and dates?
===========
You keep refering to the rating and I keep refering to your refusal to contribute anything other than 'dumbass'.
I didn't ask for a better rating.

It has nothing to do with that. Americans have a naturally imbued sense of isolation. Sure we have Mexico to the south and Canada to the north, but really we feel like an island nation.

Yes, well you should have thought about that before you went all arsey and declared your own independance. You could have been part of the GREAT BRITISH EMPIRE and you went and ruined it for yourselves.

Granted...I was talking specifically about my government but I guess what I mean is any government from a civilised nation.
I want to feel that there isn't the need to listen to ALL the conversations in able to catch a FEW criminals.
Aren't our intelligence and anti terror poliss the best there is? Don't they know WHO are the terrorists and who are not?
There was word all the time the IRA were bombing and assassinating that the British Army KNEW each and every member.
Yet now, in this modern world we have to blanket all calls.
-----------------------
That is the thing they aren't listening to all calls it would be impossible.
They have a guess where terrorists call, and I ams ure some regular people call the same places.
Lets say that a mosque or charity in Pakistan was suspected of being used as a cover for funneling terrorist money. Lets say that the US wanted to monitor calls to it, should they not do it bbecause innocent americans may call? I don't see a legal obligation for the US not to. And I really don't see a moral one (since they have no duty to foreigners, and US citizens have no guarantee of privacy from the US in other countries). I could see why people wouldn't agree, and I do have mixed feelings sometimes.
I think the IRA is a different story because of how much they were intertwined, how close they were, and how similiar the societies were.
I don't think all calls are blanketed, but we have to search a lot harder then we used to if we are looking for plots against us that start in other countries.

Now, I have a real issue with my government, your government, or any fucker for that matter listening into my conversations or looking at my money transfers.
Of course there is the argument that if you are innocent and have nothing to hide then you have nothing to worry about but I say bullshit to that.
The fact that I AM innocent dictates that my phone and bank goings on are MY BUSINESS ALONE.
I'd rather live in a world ..and I say this honestly... whereby I'm threatened by terrorist strikes that have my privacy invaded because I live under a paranoid ineffective government.
-----------------------------------
I agree with you if you are talking about purely domestic conversations/phone transfers etc (whiich I don't think you are). Once it leaves the country your govt can't promise you privacy because they aren't the only group involved.
Do you have a problem with your country spying? Would you have a problem with your govt spying on a conversation between someoen in afghanistan and pakistan, I don't (you might, so my argument probably doesn't work for you). If you accept that, I think you have to accept that any conversation you have outside the country could be listened to.

I also accept that if I was to travel to Russia, Mexico, Pakistan etc and so on.. that yes, in most likelihood there is a serious risk that many of the privacies that I know are protected in my country may not be there.
However I do not live in one of those countries and it is their governments that carry out listening operations.
I'm disappointed (or I would be) that MY government does it.
*being a complete hypocrite..I do want my government to listen to conversations between terrorists in Afghanistan and Pakistan talking about blowing up train/bus.

"Our left criticized George W. Bush when the New York Times revealed that the National Security Agency was surveilling telephone calls from al Qaeda suspects overseas to the United States. Now it appears the United States surveilled the British terrorists, who made phone calls to the United States. The left cried foul when the New York Times revealed that the United States was monitoring money transfers at the SWIFT bank clearinghouse in Brussels. Now it appears there was monitoring of money transfers by the British terrorists in Pakistan. On Tuesday, the left was gleeful that it was scoring political points against Mr. Bush.

However they were caught using tactics that Bush is getting blasted for trying.
I have no problem listening to phone calls outside of the US, I don't think you should have the same expectation of privacy for international as domestic calls. I also have no problem tracking international money transfers.

I have certainly shown you a tremendous amount of respect, others I am sure have similar claims - you don't need to come in to the conversation just to be disruptive do you? I mean you have every right to be an asshole, god knows there are enough of them trolling around this site, but wouldn't it be swell to just have a calm, rational discussion sometimes?
hmmm?
At least respect the discourse, if not the person who began it.

Seriously dude, you are alarmingly bi-polar.
I give you a slap on the wrist and you flip out? Nice work.
I like my high horse, I certainly won't get off it because you tell me to. (...and I will certainly not shove any of your crap up my ass, gross!)
If you want to categorically shoot yourself in the foot each time you happen to run into a conversation that you didn't start and act like a dipshit that's fine by me.
All you prove is that you are no better than the trolls that pollute your discussions and ultimately continue your utter marginalization around this place, and I suspect in life.
Perhaps you enjoy pushing a wet rope up a hill? Perhaps you just enjoy the drama?
I have certainly been wrong about people before... I had been somewhat convinced your intentions were much more pure than just straight attention whorishness, but I am decidedly uncertain now.
------------------
I wasn't talking to you.
...and, a slap on the wrist??? Is that what that was? Oh, thank you. I didn't know I'd gotten out of line.

You weren't?
um...
Well don't I feel like the fucking asshole.
Fine. I take back the bi-polar comment, and feel suitably retarded for jumping to conclusions.
I just get twitchy when people I like say "FUCK YOU". My bad.
Still, most of the point remains. I did chastize you, becuase I think you have so much more to offer to the conversation than just acting like an ass.
Try leading with helpful, polite, and civilized... it can always devolve from there. But if you start out being a dick, its only going to continue downhill from there.

You're damn right, respect is earned, which is why I dropped the -2 in the first fucking place. But you took it upon yourself to "slap me on the wrist" for it.
The fact is, this motherfucker hasn't earned a goddamn bit of my respect. He has consistently ridiculed me when I've tried to have intelligent discussions with people, so I have given him the respect he deserves - NONE.

Forget my countries policies (of which I disagree) and ease at which we stood by yours when they went to war(of which I disagreed). What I don't like to see is someone suggesting that Britain is a cowardly nation who somehow goaded the US into going to war and then slipped out of the side entrance.

How fucking dare you insult a country who has had young men die while fighting some cock arse war that your wanker leaders made up?
As for too pussy to start our own fights?...man I seem to recall you boys didn't complaint when you started a war against the whole fucking world (or at the least an invisible and unidentifiable group of people) and we came running to your aid.
You arrogant cunt.
And if that last paragraph is supposed to suggest that we have slipped out the side door while you continue to bravely fight evil then again...you are a sad excuse of a human being.
====
Why shouldn't he criticise a country that has young men die because they bought into a war that some other country's leaders made up? That's a pretty fucking excellent reason to criticise a country to my mind.
We have sold our own soldiers down the river just so we can cuddle a bit closer to america in the hopes of getting a handout. You know this to be true - we (and I'm referring to brits here) all do. If you find it offensive that's because it IS offensive - it's fucking outrageous and we should be making sure our politicians know it.
There is no need to get upset with someone pointing out our wrongdoing just because that person happens to be american. We're not the guy in the white hat here and you'll notice any criticism of england he makes does not even come close to the bile that he spits at his own country.
Ease off the national pride a little bit - we don't have much justification for it at this moment in time.

Hey Mr. Beano
So let me get this straight: you don't like that someone has allegorically painted your little island as cowards, consistently provides pages of writen material that he considers reference for you to refute and then intelligently defends his position against not only an onslaught of negative pricks that simply don't like him because the think he is fucking nuts- or people like you who without doing the requisite research dismiss what he is saying based ONLY on the way he says it?
Thats kinda sad don't you think?
I don't know about you... but the more I read his links, and watch the movies that get sent out... the more I at least question the possibility of this "radical theory" that there is at least some significant global puppeteering going on.
Now, personally I don't think it as insidious and successful as Mr. Tooth seems to >KNOW< it is (I tend to think things are a little more random than that.) - and I don't think the sky is falling quite as fast as he would suggest it might be... but if you give his arguments and the source material even a fleeting chance- it does contain some pretty compelling elements to suggest there is FAR more going on that us ignorant masses care to know about.
Perhaps someone yelling "WAKE THE FUCK UP!" isn't all that polite... but why don't we pretend it is really more like a gentle nudge and a tactful "you know its really time we started to pay a little more attention to some of the more questionable things that are going on every day that we either dismiss completely, largely ignore or acknowledge but can't be bothered to do anything about"... and then carry on the discussion.
"Wake the fuck up" is just easier... and largely appropriate.

Alright rob, you can take off the tights and cape, palooka. Brad doesn't need you to swoop in and defend his views from those who disagree with them; he's perfectly capable of doing so on his own.
A lot of people here don't have a problem with Brad's theories per se; it's the way he presents and defends them. As such, more users come to his posts to argue with him and he in turn gets more exposure for his ideas, so it abstractly works out positively for him this way.
So, you can strap your reviews with all the intelligence you like but when you slip a juvenile insult like calling his detractors "pricks", you lose the point of why he posts these things here in the first place. You're defending his and your own opinions (key word) while quasi-sophmorically dismissing others, revealing your inherent piety and thus undermining the value of the point you try to make.
At least Brad is entertaining in his defenses, while yours bores me shitless (there's that pesky opinion thing again).

Rob I think SilvrWolf replied to you far better than I am capable of.
I am capable of only this.
Fuck you.
Why don't to you read what I wrote and not get so tangle up in his theories and poking your dick up his arse?
All this 'I don't know about you but the more I read etc etc....'
I have said this before and will say it again (fucking hell...talk about repeat yourself!). I READ MOST OF WHAT Brad spouts on here 2 maybe three years ago...I read, I asses and I decide what to believe. I then tuck my ideas and thoughts away and don't throw them down other people's throats.
My whole issue is the infantile way he called my country cowards and accused us of sliding out of the back door.
I fucking wish we had slid out of the back door. I wish we'd never got involved in the first place. What I am saying is that making general sweeping statements about a nation or a country has to be false.

Terrorism is a tactic of war, not a criminal act.
In 1993, the same group of islamic nutjobs tried to blow up the WTC with vans full of explosives in the underground parking. It was treated as a crime. Great. Five religious fanatics are off the street.

I call bullshit, fella.
If you are going to take the time to wander over from the chaos that is your conversation (as oftentimes interesting and fascinating as I find them) at least try to be fucking helpful, or in some-way meaningful to the discussion taking place over here.
It is exactly this kind of childish idiocy that ensures your complete marginalization amongst the people who agree with most of what you say. Your insistence on acting petty and stupid only erodes your credibility and will eventually leave you all alone on your worn out soap box.
Grow up and actually try to contribute positively - even if it wasn't started by you- or simply fuck off.
It's that simple. It is the same thing I tell all the trolls that come along to muddy up these conversations, ironic someone needs to tell you that as well.

don't the above few not fall into murder/assasination acts not terrorist acts?

I thought you were going to go for the USS cole bombing.
You have a point, but at the heart of every "terrorist" attack you have simpler crimes. I think these can be defined as terrorist because of the reasons for the killings and who he killers were working with (i am amking assumptions here because I don't know the circunstances surrounding all of these).
If someone from the IRA killed a british official, it would be murder, but I think they would also qualify it as a terrorist act.
--------------------
For sure they would, and they'd use the prevention of terrorism act to allow them more time to plant all the the evidence they needed to put them away.
I guess I see terrorism as an attempt to cause large scale fear and death.
When Ken Bigley (GRHS) was killed I didn't see that as a terrorist act for some reason. Just fundamentalists killing someone to make a point/get people released.

It's inaccurate simply because these aren't all terrorist attacks. Many are staged government black ops.

But surely by definition acts of terrorism?

Oh really?
Well define terror then.
Define terrorist.
When your best freind is mutilated by a bomb, or your kid brother is crushed in the resulting debris of one of these 'staged black ops'... how is that not being terrorized?
That is just a silly argument, you can do much better than that.

It has nothing to do with that. Americans have a naturally imbued sense of isolation. Sure we have Mexico to the south and Canada to the north, but really we feel like an island nation. The rest of the world is a poverty stricken, war torn, principleless cess pool that we see when we turn on CNN and go "I'm glad I don't live there.
It's when that stuff spills over to us that we get outraged, almost a sense of "Hey look I know you guys have problems, don't bring it to my house.
---
Don't get me wrong, I understand. I know that Americans seem to think the world begins in New York and Ends at Los Angeles. I have been to France and talked to young people who HATE us. I have seen the "DOWN WITH BUSH" graffiti in Italy (Because "Bush" is recognizable in any language) and I know that people in the rest of the world say "Congrats you got hit once. We've been getting hit for a century."
American's would NEVER point out the real reason that 9/11, for all of the death toll had one key difference. The buildings were extremely expensive.
I know that sounds awful, but not only did we lose thousands of people, we just had our two best toys destroyed. And we can't look beyond that.
I bet if you counted up all of multiple small attacks done in other countries it would add up to 9/11 (I'm not talking about the whole world, I mean like the attacks from Spain added up, the attacks from Britain added up) but none of them singularly adds up to 9/11, which makes us feel we can go to our more "civilized" friends and say:
US: Hey guys look at this battle scar. This sucks. Let's go kick some ass because of it!
Britain: Uh.... *doesn't bring up scars of their own* alright fine let's go.
I know that the rest of the world has been enduring this. I know that this is nothing new. But as a collective, when the stress in your life is what to buy at Wal Mart with your latest pay raise, it is shocking to be hurt like that.
I'm not trying to give excuses, this is just how I believe it works.

WHAT?
Are you fucking kidding me?
There is a civilized, intelligent, rational discourse going on over here and you have the audacity to skip in and drop this little distractive bit of nonsense?
I call bullshit, fella.
If you are going to take the time to wander over from the chaos that is your conversation (as oftentimes interesting and fascinating as I find them) at least try to be fucking helpful, or in some-way meaningful to the discussion taking place over here.
It is exactly this kind of childish idiocy that ensures your complete marginalization amongst the people who agree with most of what you say. Your insistence on acting petty and stupid only erodes your credibility and will eventually leave you all alone on your worn out soap box.
Grow up and actually try to contribute positively - even if it wasn't started by you- or simply fuck off.
It's that simple. It is the same thing I tell all the trolls that come along to muddy up these conversations, ironic someone needs to tell you that as well.

Not doubting at all why 9/11 made such wave. I agreed with you about that.
After 9/11 it was at this point and at this point only that we all had to stand by you and announce that terrorism was bad. Previous to that we had all dealt with it in our own ways.
My point is that SINCE 9/11 everything that happens has to be ABOUT or REALTED to it.
--------------------------------
I get what you are saying, but making 9/11 a focal point for a campaign against terrorism makes sense, in the respect that it was the biggest terrorist attack ever.
I agree there are other attacks, and groups that get over looked, but the next largest attack is what one tenth the size?
Personally the Bali bombing had more affect on me. I was in Paddy's Bar and the Sari club less than a month before. I had friends that were there for a rugby tournament, half of them didn't come back. but even so I can understand why terror conversations, especially for americans would center on 9/11.

What was the Southern Russian School event all about? Chechnya seperatist's killed close on 350 children didn't they?
-------------------------------------------
I think you answered your own question when you called them Chechnya seperatists.
------------------------------------------------------
I used to be for the chechenyans, in 1991 when they declared independence to 1994 they ruled their themselves well. They had their own international airport and were no threat to russia.
I wonder why there was no outrage by the muslim world over the 80,000 killed when russia clamped down on them. I mean is it just easier to come by American flags to burn, or is Russia that much better than the US?

2001 September 11: September 11, 2001 attacks.
2001 September 18: November - 2001 anthrax attacks. Letters tainted with anthrax kill five across the United States. The case remains unsolved.
2002 July 4: Hesham Mohamed Hadayet, a 41-year-old Egyptian national, kills 2 Israelis and wounds 4 others at the El Al ticket counter at Los Angeles International Airport. The FBI concluded this was terrorism, although they found no evidence linking Hadayet to any terrorist group (see[6]).
2006 March 3: An Iranian-born graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill drove an SUV onto a crowded part of campus, intending to kill as many as possible. However, nine people suffered only minor injuries.
----------------
Are these Muslim attacks?
And WTF? The whole Anthrax thing was never solved??

That sure is a pretty list that you posted.
Terrorism is a tactic of war, not a criminal act.
In 1993, the same group of islamic nutjobs tried to blow up the WTC with vans full of explosives in the underground parking. It was treated as a crime. Great. Five religious fanatics are off the street. Meanwhile, five million more were encouraged by it. They used our sensationalist media against us as a propaganda tool for themselves.
There is no way out but to fight our way through it.
Islamists don't see us as American, British, Canadian, Polish, or whatever. They see us as christian infidels, and don't care where you live.

It was a generalisation based on (unsubstantiated facts) alluding to the fact that if you haven't travelled outside of your country or read a book you are not interested in what goes on in the world or cannot be very bright.

Therefore this is OK...to point out 'hey look, the WHOLE WORLD is affected by terrorism and has been for like...welll uhm... forever'
I DO NOT want to cheapen 9/11 ...but it was kind of like the US woke up to world terror only then and the rest of us were saying ...'mmmm, well it's been going on for years you know, but OK, now you got hit we'll all stand up and take notice'.
------------
A number of those terrorist attacks before 9/11 were targeting US citizens.
9/11 made such waves not becuase it was just in the US (wasn't the first attack in the US, or even the first attack by muslims), but becuase it was the largets attack ever.
---------------
Not doubting at all why 9/11 made such wave. I agreed with you about that.
After 9/11 it was at this point and at this point only that we all had to stand by you and announce that terrorism was bad. Previous to that we had all dealt with it in our own ways.
My point is that SINCE 9/11 everything that happens has to be ABOUT or REALTED to it.

It has nothing to do with that. Americans have a naturally imbued sense of isolation. Sure we have Mexico to the south and Canada to the north, but really we feel like an island nation. The rest of the world is a poverty stricken, war torn, principleless cess pool that we see when we turn on CNN and go "I'm glad I don't live there."
It's when that stuff spills over to us that we get outraged, almost a sense of "Hey look I know you guys have problems, don't bring it to my house."

Don't get me wrong, I understand. I know that Americans seem to think the world begins in New York and Ends at Los Angeles. I have been to France and talked to young people who HATE us. I have seen the "DOWN WITH BUSH" graffiti in Italy (Because "Bush" is recognizable in any language) and I know that people in the rest of the world say "Congrats you got hit once. We've been getting hit for a century."
American's would NEVER point out the real reason that 9/11, for all of the death toll had one key difference. The buildings were extremely expensive.
I know that sounds awful, but not only did we lose thousands of people, we just had our two best toys destroyed. And we can't look beyond that.
I bet if you counted up all of multiple small attacks done in other countries it would add up to 9/11 (I'm not talking about the whole world, I mean like the attacks from Spain added up, the attacks from Britain added up) but none of them singularly adds up to 9/11, which makes us feel we can go to our more "civilized" friends and say:
US: Hey guys look at this battle scar. This sucks. Let's go kick some ass because of it!
Britain: Uh.... *doesn't bring up scars of their own* alright fine let's go.
I know that the rest of the world has been enduring this. I know that this is nothing new. But as a collective, when the stress in your life is what to buy at Wal Mart with your latest pay raise, it is shocking to be hurt like that.
I'm not trying to give excuses, this is just how I believe it works

Contrast that with the Brits, (IRA) and Spanish (ETA) and you can see why the reactions are so very different.
