BF2S Forums Do you think the west will ever be attacked again?

I think that somewhere down the line, we will be attacked again. Maybe not on the scale that 9/11 was, but attacked just the same. just my two cents.

I've heard a lot of neo-cons going on about how 'we're fighting the terrorists over there rather than over here?', etc., etc. As such, they must assume terror attacks are unlikely ever to occur in the west again. Is that the case? They don't extend their logic over the fact that the 9/11 bombers were resident in the US for quite a while before the 9/11 attack and blended in relatively seamlessly and it would still be unbelievably easy for similar folk to sneak across the porous Mexican or Canadian borders to launch further attacks. The drive to commit such acts will also have increased as evidenced by the fully british muslims (born and bred) who have chosen to attack their own country out of sheer anger.
The usual three poll options have been made available.

I know more attacks are inevatible because there are too many terrorist lap dogs in America that are going to make sure we will never use every tool available to expose them. You yourself imply that they are already here, and i agree, however as long as the liberal element is toting the ACLU flag for "rights for everyone" including terrorists we will never win. I.E. We are not allowed to profile for the very people who are today carrying out such attacks. Too risky, we might hurt someones feelings.

Bottom line.....The liberals will make damn sure we are hit again.

my sig, read it

I have, a long time ago....would be a great quote if it really applied here...See, WE have been attacked, and MORE ATTACKS have beem attempted. So it is more of a reality than a scare tactic, now isn't it??

There will be another attack if the corruption in our government continues and the people are complacent enough to allow this kind of false flag operation again.

I voted "Go Fuck Yourself" because I am an asshole, Simple ain't it?

But on a Non-Asshole sidenote, keep up the interesting threads and polls

Yes, within the next 2-5 years. There will be many dead.

The US should invest trillions on a giant energy shield over the us to keep the plane-bombs away!
I just hope that when we get hit again, we actually hit something back thats right, get some real fucking payback. Im not sure attacking a terrorist's home country would work, if they really are heart-less bastards then they wouldnt care.

They'll find some inventive way of attacking, no doubt.

Lowing, lowing, lowing. The Republican party must wet their pants with joy every time they come across someone like you.

You can label who you like what you like in USA lowing, that's the beauty of freedom of speech, the fact of the matter is that it does not diminish the validity of the comments such people make. They are 'traitors' to Republican party policy, not to the USA.

You seem to want to throw up barriers to understanding the problems we face in the world today and tow the party line intransigently and unquestioningly. You don't seem to be able to map out where the current plan is taking America. Unrelentingly marauding through the middle east has created more terrorists and opened up another country as a haven for terrorists, even the CIA concedes that. The policy you endorse so unswervingly HAS FAILED. It is only a matter of time before the US gets hit again.
The fact of the matter is they are getting hit out in Iraq as we speak. This whole 'fighting them over there rather than here' nonsense is ridiculous. You are quite happy to see fellow Americans die thousands of miles from home in a dusty land they have no reason to be in because YOU believe they are preventing terror within the USA? Laughable. Do you see military blood as being of less worth than civilian blood? "It's ok if we are losing Americans over there", is that what you think? The US entered Iraq under false prentences and now every RPG-brandishing mullah can have a pop at YOUR fellow countrymen. They must be thanking their lucky stars - no need for the costly transatlantic flights now. So long as the US is in Iraq, US men and women will die there. Terror attacks on the west are inevitable, always have been and always will be. Don't believe for a second that the war in Iraq is somehow minimising that threat. You only need to speak to the people of London or Madrid to know that.

It is every citizens right to complain about government ineptitude or to voice their disagreement with their policies. The moment that right is extinguished will be the day the west hammers the final nail in its own coffin.

No you know me better than that. It is not "ok" to lose military personel over in Iraq but at least they have weapons to defend themselves unlike the 3000 people on 911, or the 190 in Spain, or the london bombing that killed 50 or so and injured several hundred or Bali bombing that killed 2 hundred and injured as many. who were either, strapped in a seat, or sitting behind a cubacle, or riding trains to work or vacationing  totally unaware as to what was going to happen to them.

This is NOT a USA, Bush, Cheney world. Attacks are happening all over the world, please stop trying to tell me it is the actions of the US that is doing it or, if the USA will change its policy it will all come to an end. What does the Bali attacks have to do with the USA??

I am not the naive one here.

Answer me one question: How is the war in Iraq minimising terror and minimising the risk of terror attacks in the west?

I never said that US policy alone is the cause of terrorism. To believe that would be quite naive, which I'm not. The world is a complicated place - noone should view things in absolute terms.

The Bali bombing was an attempt to get at Australians, who vacation there in great numbers. They also happen to have troops stationed in Iraq, as do the UK and as did the Spanish. It's funny how Germany and France haven't been attacked yet. Or all of South America. Or China. Or a great many other countries around the globe.
