Let all of western society slowing break down which would probably lead to the death of thoasands anyway.

I think its a numbers game. How many would die in the Islamic countries to protect our way of life versus how many would die in western countries if we didn't. I think its the same equation used when the USA dropped bombs on Japan.

NO country ever became powerful by being nice to people and the more Britain take the Liberal/humanist approach we become ever weaker and more vulnerable. The moral highground doesn't protect society. Armed aggression does.

Other countries/religions know this and must rub there hands in delight at the prospect of us always being nice, accommodating and soft to them. They know full well that when once their foothold is strong enough in our society they will become the armed aggressor and take what is ours by force.

To prevent that we fight fire with fire. It is the only way theis country has survived.
Yes but the idea that the western governments collude with the media to fake an Islamic terrorist threat is highly tenuous and unreasonable position. It implies and almost omnipotent small nexus manipulating everyone. Like all conspirasy theories it is a scapegoating narrative.

That sounds slightly contradictory. I understand what you're saying, but you must surely think we have a right to oil? The problem with accessing it is foreign government not big on free exchange. I think it 99% of cases it would be beneficial to everyone to produce oil, 'us' and any foreign population. But what would your solution be if the owners of private land in another county just didn't feel like selling the land to be drilled on? Armed aggression?

I think he was defending militarism as a mean to settle political conflicts.

well said ,its all about resources and the Muslims are sitting on it.but some people will never reealise that.

Juggers statement is irrational, the oil has been pumping fairly freely from places like Saudi and Kuwait where it matters. Plus the western powers DID occupy these lands during the late period of empire, but they were relinquished because occupation was not necessary to provide the resources.

funny how I'm yet to hear bin laden saying ithe 911 or the london bombings had anything to do with him.you can call me a womens private part but I don't believe in wars as they cost too much that money pumped in to catch one man could of taking the uk from this recession and we wouldn't be talking about london bombings if we didn't get involved in Iraq or afghanistan. I think it's just an opportunity for the rich to get richer and to keep milking us we are all slave to the system.

I'm happy to pay taxes and vat but what we pay today for what we get is broad day light robbery.

if bin laden really existed I'm sure another one will pop out of the wood work, my personal opinion is the havent even got the guy and it's just so the people don't say what a waste of money and innocent lives lost the they pull out these stunts America are show offs they would of paraded him and put him in a Museum lol

bottom line is politicians are the biggest liars And have a lot of money anything is possible, just think how many promises were broken by politicians!!!

Ok so lets say they haven't killed him or whatever strange theories some of you have come up with. Wouldn't OBL have released a video message to instantly portray the US as the liars the conspiracy theorists believe they are?

Until this weekend, there were many, many people who believed OBL was already long dead, and it's only really served his supporters to try and convince the world of the opposite. That leaves the ball squarely in their court to do one of three things:
- admit he really just died at the hands of US Navy Seals
- provide proof that he really died from kidney disease or whatever years ago in a cave somewhere
- provide proof that he's really still alive

So what's the hope that the conspiracy theorists will keep it buttoned until one of the above happens?

I may well be mistaken, but as I read it this seems a little conspiratorial, f1. Are you of the view that Western populations ought not be fearful of militant Islamism?

Not to the extent the media and the governments would like us to be no. Yes in modern history there have been some terrorist attacks in the name of Islam, but there have also been some terrorist attacks not in the name of Islam. The media and goverments seem to be trying to create a mass hysteria among the Western populations which leads to many people becoming intolerant toward all Muslims and can even lead to people posting on Japanese car forums with emotive phrases such as the "War on Islamism"

Slightly fearful, then?

What do you think the split would be: 50/50, 60/40?

That's an interesting perspective. Are there any Western media outlets and governments not involved in this conspiracy?
