its not a matter of convincing them that thier life is a lie, its a matter of convincing them that there are other ways to approach problem besides explosives.

the real problem isn't what they believe in, its WHY they in it.

unless anyone here actually buys the whole "they hate freedom" argument put forward by the government, its pretty easy to see that tehse individuals are quite pissed about something. the only way to end this cycle is to figure out why they want to blow shit up in the first place, and then work on solving that.

anyway, comming back to the original topic of teh bombing, i haven't checked the news since yesterday evening, but to me it doesnt seem like the work of al-queda. its too random, too pointless. thier targets have always been us embassy's or other political/military targets. blowing up a subway and some double decker busses is stupid, and gets them nowhere.

i think its more likely to be a group based out of one of the war torn african countries, seeing as some very important ppl (and i use the term loosely) were in the neighbourhood for the g8 summit.
