Very, very, good post Donut. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

For those with closed minds it was probably never a live horse.

I wonder how people took my post. Some will have taken it at face value, that it was about cancer as a disease, others will have thought that it was complete nonsense and that I had lost my mind.

Obviously some people have recognised it for what it was really about. We can't defeat the cancer of terrorism by utilising only one of the weapons at our disposal.

Living and working in a city that will be near the top of the list for the next massive terrorist outrage is concentrating my mind. It's just a matter of time.

I shouldn't worry, they aren't likely to bomb Enfield any time soon my friend... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

But seriously, I whole-heartedly agree. It seems completely bizzare that we think stopping one group of terrorists will make the others think twice about it. They are already willing to die for their cause... wha can you do to scare them?

And do people really think we can hunt down all the terrorists in the world? This is going to be one major witch hunt for absolutely no gain.

But hey! People already knew my views on this I suppose...

<font color="#ff00cc">I thought your origianl and subsequent posts were a fun and informative use of metaphor [img]smile.gif[/img] or similee or whatever. I recognized what you were getting at from the outset. I also realized that you had some good points, but we see things in a very different fundamental way. So we disagree on the course to take, but I think we both know that any answer is not going to be simple.

People living in London, Paris, NY and DC all have good reason to be concerned.

I am still trying to figure out why, banning all arab peoples from the western world untill they can curb their more radical factions is such a horrible idea.</font>

<font color=yellow> Isolation and segregation - are you suggesting we repeat apartheid and the Berlin Wall? You might argue from some perspectives they were successes, but on the whole, history doesn't seem to think so. </font>

Sorry, it was just my little joke. One in poor taste admittedly...
