7/7 London


To Audiogon members residing in Britain, particularly in London, my thoughts are with you in the aftermath of yesterday's despicable, horrific events. We must all stand firm in our resolve against the actions of a small group of fanatics intent on causing us fear and harm.

Thus far no one has bought up the aforementioned elections except the people who post in favor of bush.

I was rather questioning what he's done since in office, which is clearly not beneficial to anyone right now.

I notice a lot of bush supporters constantly try to turn the argument away from the nightmare that we've made in Iraq, and act like we're still arguing about elections that have been over some time ago. Criticize Bushes record on the environment and you get the same thing: stop whining about the election. Where's Osama: election. What are we doing to help israel: election.

People can yammer on all they want about GW inheriting certain international difficulties from Clinton (and more accurately his father's) tenure, but what he's doing now paves the way for terrorism for the many presidents after him..
Cowardly acts in London,done by people that are absolute excuses for human beings.Pathetic.
My prayers go to those in London.

On this day, we are all Londoners. We all share in the agony, pain, and horror.

Today we mourn and honor those who have fallen. Today we extend our hand to those who need it, picking them up, dusting them off, ensuring they are comfortable.

Tomorrow, we keep them in our thoughts and in our hearts as we return to our lives of freedom and happiness, unbowed by what was designed to do just the opposite. The terrorists do not weaken us, but strengthen us, forging together our resolve and uniting us as never before.
Daddy0 - Well said.

Danlib1 - If you haven't at least accepted the FACT that the justification for the illegal occupation of Iraq WAS fabricated by King George, Cheney, Wolfowitz, Kristol, and Rumsfeld, then there is no point in anyone debating with you. Your head is clearly stuck somewhere.

Mimberman - As you said, the Bush supporters only defense is to deflect any valid criticisms of this administration into another election argument. In the meantime, our country suffers.
My thoughts and prayers are with the people of London.

God bless and protect our troops. God help our government and all those who elected this simple minded corporate puppet.

The war in Iraq has nothing to do with 9/11. The threat that Iraq may have WMD, was bogus. In 1990 we easily entered Iraq, and destroyed their infrastructure and army within weeks. If they had WMD they would have used it. Then for the next ten years with UN inspections and sanctions, Iraq was in far less of a position to develop WMD, then prior to the first Iraq war. They didn't even have the capacity to fire an effective scud missle into Israel (their neighbor), let alone threaten the US.

Somehow, the republicans who bashed Clinton from day one (and continue to do so), can't handle any criticism of GWB. They impeached a president for lying about a consentual affair. But leave alone a president whose lies have caused thousands of innocent peole to die.

The world is not a safer place due to GWB's foreign policies. The earth is not a healthier planet due to GWB environmental policies. And a woman's right to choose is now on the chopping block, as it's payback time to the religious right for electing GWB.

But all is not gloom and doom. Halburton (Chaney's company) and the oil industry have much to gain from our occupation and puppet adminstration in Iraq.
