The War Against Terrorism Reviews

Newest Review: ... are constantly told just how likely we are to be killed by terrorists and how much they want us to die. I would like to give a brief list off the top of my head of things that are more likely to kill you in Britain than terrorists. Cancer Aids Car Accidents Murder Heroin Cocaine Ecstasy Falling from a height Heart disease Alcohol Abuse Smoking DIY accidents in your own home Allergic reaction to a bee Allergic reaction to a peanut Suicide Choking to death Starvation Thirst The list would be a lot longer if i was a doctor. Point is, yes, you could be killed by terrorists, but that really would be a rare occasion. Isn't media coverage what th... more

Now, i know i am handling a delicate issue here, and if i offend anyone, i do apologies, but then we do live in a coutry with freedom of the press (well, that's a lie, but assuming we do)  I am not for one second saying that terrorism is not an important issue, i am simply sick of people making it out to be the biggest threat to our lives. Once again today i was on the bus, only to be stuck behind two old woman talking about how they were afraid to go on the local trains because of terrorism. This simply left me astonished...i mean...REALLY! What is the chance of terrorists blowing up the Alloa to Stirling train on a Monday morning? But ... Read the complete review

I think the most disgusting thing about the so-called "War on Terror" is while Britain and America claimed to have invaded Iraq to bring democracy they will be actively working with the likes of the Egyptian and Tunisian governments behind the potplants to put down that current democratic call for change in those Muslim countries, reinforcing the majority feeling that we the west are only interested in regimes that support our oil needs. Theres no way America will support a tsunami of democray over 70% of the worlds oil fields. If third world countries are oil or mineral rich then you can guarantee a superpower will be in their destabalising thinngs. And once . Read the complete review

I have read reviews on here about the recent terrorism threats and feel very strongly that Blair should be here. After all he is supposed to be the one leading the country. Can you imagine the head of a corporate company being on holiday and a major catastrophe occurs while he is away? Would he entrust things to his deputies? I doubt it. So why isn't Blair here? Not that we need him of course, the sooner we get rid of him the better. Britain should not have to face these terrorist threats which are connected with his insistence on supporting his old mate President Bush. As for airport security being stepped up, I think it is time this was done. When ... Read the complete review

**Update - 28 December 2009** Following yet another failed 'terrorist plot', security has yet again been increased on flights entering the US. These include: * Customers to remain seated during final hour of flight * No access to hand luggage and a ban on leaving possessions or blankets on laps during this hour. It seems my 'ideas' weren't quite so wacky after all.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "A terrorist plot to blow up planes in mid-flight from the UK to the US has been disrupted, Scotland Yard has said. It is thought the plan was to detonate up to three explosive devices smuggled on aircraft ... Read the complete review

Before you read any further, I'd just like to point out that some of my views may upset some people. It is not that they are deliberatley offensive, only that it goes against the grain of current opinion. If you continue to read this, please don't blame me for being offended. Terrorism is the latest excuse for governments to scare their populations into giving them the powers that they want but cannot get any other way. The problem is that people, on being told that they are under attack, will request that something is done. We all want our liberties and freedoms to be intact, yet at the same time it is those same liberties that are so freely given away in ... Read the complete review
