Doug:

So they blew up people of many ethnic groups?

I think Palestinians suicide-bombing in Israel is a bankrupt tactic, but at least you can figure out the bombers' point. The point of the London bombs isn't obvious.

^^^^ CB: So, you think this was sort of like Columbine ? Just some youths losing their minds, unrelated to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan ?

Do you think it was just a coincidence that it was a suicide-bombing ?

Can you really say with a straight face that you think the British war on Iraq had nothing to do with the motives of the London bombers ?

^^^^^^^^^^

Some were of Pakistani origin, no? What ethnic affliation is there among Afghans (who come from many different ethnic groups), Pakistanis, and Iraqis (not all of whom are Arabs)?

^^^^^^^ CB: So you think this bombing would have occurred anyway even if the British had not been part of the invasions ? You think the bombers didn't identify at all with the colored victims of the white British invasions ?
