General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

We still don't have an answer to the question - does anybody seriously believe that the UK/USA et al are going to eliminate 'terrorism' by being in Iraq??

This is the War Against Terrorism is it not? Are all the terrorists in Iraq/Iran - NO. Who defines who is a terrorist? The IRA were terrorists were they not, so how come the whole world didn't drop into Ireland/N.Ireland to sort them out?? Spain has Basque terrorists? I don't see USA/Brit troops there.

Ok Saddam Hussein is gone but Osama Bin Laden is still out there roaming around somewhere and all the might/technology/superior weaponry of the USA and its allies can't find him. And even if they do and eliminate him does that mean there will be no more terrorist attacks against the UK/USA?

Re : the release of the 15 Brits by the Iranians - does anybody stop to think how Britain or USA would have re-acted if they thought that an enemy/foreign military craft was in their waters? Would we have just patted them on the back and said, yeah, yeah, a mistake, don't let it happen again??

Just something to ponder over.....
