London Police Say Deaths From Attacks Will Rise
Bloomberg.com, July 11 '05

Metropolitan Police Chief Sir Ian Blair said today he's sure the death toll from last week's terrorist attacks in London will rise above 52...

A total of 700 people were hurt in the blasts, with 22 of them in serious or critical condition, police said...

The last major al-Qaeda attack in Europe was in Madrid on March 11, 2004, when 191 people were killed .... Bombers in Istanbul killed more than 60 people in attacks in November 2003...

The murder of innocent people or non-combatants is not justified for any reason. The tactic of terrorism or terror-bombing and the killing of civilians, intended or not, is just as immoral when it is carried out by governments in war. When the U.S. and other nations bombed Afghanistan and Iraq, their bombs destroyed the lives and property of non-combatants.

To avoid killing civilians (and conscripts and people trying to defend their own country innocently), governments should not launch wars of aggression, and they should not support foreign occupations which lead to war.

When there are terrorist incidents, they should be treated as crimes, and agents of law enforcement should go after those who are guilty, and cooperate respectfully with foreign leaders and local inhabitants if possible.

But of course, people will think I'm being unrealistic. Their idea of being realistic is to ignore the fact that there is an imperial occupation of every continent - which often makes local people resentful - and to go along with "conservative" leaders who want to set the whole world on fire in the name of "democracy".

July 7 London Terror Attack: Critics say attacks justify early opposition to Iraq war
Chicago Tribune, July 10 '05

British Member of Parliament, George Galloway:

"We argued, as did the security services in this country, that the attacks on Afghanistan and Iraq, would increase the threat of terrorist attack in Britain," he told Parliament on Thursday....

He urged the government "to remove people in this country from harm's way, as the Spanish government acted to remove its people from harm [after the Madrid bombing], by ending the occupation of Iraq."

The article says that the British government's national identity cards proposal will be more difficult to oppose now.

Home Secretary Charles Clarke told the British Broadcasting Corp. that ID cards would not have stopped the London bombings but that such cards had helped Spanish police identify the perpetrators of the Madrid blasts.

Unfortunately, Galloway's advice is too much like common sense and it makes some people very angry, because they insist on personally identifying with and justifying their own government's wrongdoings.

Jim Cox, July 15 '05:  Comparing Iraq to Vietnam

encyclopedia.laborlawtalk.com  Curtis LeMay

He was promoted to major general and directed the 21st Bomber Command, heading B-29 operations including the massive incendiary attacks on over sixty Japanese cities, such as Tokyo on March 9-10, 1945 during which around 100,000 people were killed.

For months LeMay's bombers went out night after night, relentlessly keeping up their fire-bombing campaign, so that by the end of the war, flames had totally or partially consumed 63 Japanese cities, killing half a million people...

Asked later about the morality of the campaign, LeMay replied: "Killing Japanese didn't bother me very much at that time... I suppose if I had lost the war, I would have been tried as a war criminal....

His very first war plan drawn up in 1949, proposed delivering, "the entire stockpile of atomic bombs. In a single massive attack," which meant dropping 133 A-bombs on 70 cities within 30 days.

Kelly Jane Torrance, Dec 23 '03:   Anti-fat police are ready to bust heads

The American Public Health Association is over 125 years old. More than 60 percent of the full- time researchers and policymakers at state Departments of Health are APHA members. And over 13,500 members attended last month's San Francisco meeting. It was ground zero for planning Public Health's "next big thing."...

Public Health Institute lawyer Edward Bolen provided a glimpse of their Utopia, promoting very specific policy ideas. He called for tobacco-style restrictions on food, including price controls; minimum age requirements to buy certain foods (Does a bag of chips really need to be rated "R"?); zoning limits on the number, density, and location of fast-food restaurants and convenience stores; and even outright product bans.

The article describes direct attacks by these people on no less than the concept of personal responsibility. This story refers to the U.S. but won't this spread to Canada? Canadians should stop busy-bodies like this from feeding at the public trough - so to speak - before it's too late.

Or is it already too late for all of us? Have we completely handed over control of our lives to Kyoto carbon dioxide tyrants as well as food and tobacco fascist freaks?! Is that true? Given up, haven't you?

Remember the Canadian national anthem you used to sing at school: "True North Strong and Free". Those words are destined to become empty pathetic lies unless YOU start speaking up for your personal and economic freedoms! If you don't, we will continue with the endless smothering growth of the bureaucratic state.
