The USA has been meddling in the affairs of countries in the Middle East since the early fifties, having taken over from the English, who did the meddling before, using only slightly less force.
Border lines were drawn, dictators were installed, armed, and toppled, and the civilian population suffered greatly because of this.
People were bound to be slightly pissed off having suffered through all this.
If you want to reduce terrorism, look at your foreign policies, not at monitoring your population.
Well said my friend. There are alot of senseless deaths that occure everyday and no matter how much privacy you take away or money you throw at it it will not change it.
Their is important thing to notice that in every terror attack around the world both in present and past, no politician got killed, only common masses suffer!!!!! Strange @doitvoluntarily
Nice post. I think we should just try to stop bombing/going into war countries just because some crazy shit is going on down there or because we want some oil. Whatever the reason might be, we should just leave the country alone. The countries we have bombed is in a much worse state now than before. We as in USA, and every other country that took part in this "war against terror" Might aswell be called "The war for terror".
The war on terrorism has failed from the perspective of decent human beings, but from the perspective of those who directly profit from it---governments, politicians, defense contractors, etc, etc---, it's a great success and that is the problem. It does nothing to keep the population safe and everything to enrich the powers that be. Personally, while I am concerned about the increasing levels of terror attacks, I am still far more wary of government oppression and tyranny----that is the real threat. In fact, far more people have perished at the hands of their own government than by terrorists.
Your post reminds me the terror (and it is also a terror) we live in South America with violence striking everywhere because of traficants and the drug. I just sold my car and I am hostage in my own house so afraid of being on the streets (I know your post is about something else, but I feel so afraid of so many things and this is making my mind blow in fear everytime I hear shouts on the streets and there was nothing happening, just kids playing around). And we have no government to do something, and when population does something, NGOs come and say you can't do this, you have to wait others to do it, but nothing happens. Nothing at all!
Thanks for sharing this post @doitvoluntarily (sorry for venting, I am just scared as everyone else)!
yes they will never be there to save you when you need the help, and we will never catch them promoting self responsibility so that people try to protect themselves either..:/
You are right...but the cycle has entered a phrase that you stopped to punch, you are still being punched...poor human race...
May God bless the victims...and the world

We may be in this circle for a very long time to come. May God have mercy on the human race.

And yet again this morning, before the news has really sunk in, the British Government's first response is "internet regulation"
