The Talliban have just announced that they are going to "resume" "our" Jihad against the West.

I fear that a huge wave of suicide bombers will now engulf our schools, shops, nightclubs, etc., etc.

BEWARE!

STAY AWAY FROM SUCH PLACES UNTIL THE GOVERNMENT WAKE TO THE VERY REAL THREAT!

Our school is calling an emergency meeting of the governors to discuss protection of the school. If you have kids, I suggest that you do the same thing immediately.

I haven't seen much in the way of tightened security so far

hopefully your post was ironic.

Arthur is sometimes known to be a bit tongue-in-cheek but we can only guess how real the threat is. Let's hope he's wrong.

Something is bothering me - Tony Blair is flying here there and everywhere upsetting a whole lot of people where is Bush - sitting at home overseeing our Tony's trips.

No other PM is doing anything similiar are we going to be the next target or not.

Yes and no.

I don't think that Bush is pulling the strings, just giving him enough rope to hang himself (and us, unfortunately).

Tone sees himself as a (the?) world leader, and is preparing for Presidency of the EU, if not UK.

And he's prepared to do anything, and sacrifice anyone, to achieve her ambitions.

All allegedly of course.

We already were targets.

The terrorists who attacked the US did so because of the it's policies in the Middle East i.e. continuing support of Israel, propping up regimes such as Saudia Arabia, Kuwait etc, and affecting sanctions against Iraq.

These also happen to be the policies of the UK.

We could change our minds and let Israel be destroyed by it's Arab neighbours, allow the Gulf oil fields to fall into the hands of people even less scrupulous than they already are and allow Saddam Hussein to produce nuclear, chemical and biological weapons unhindered.

Or we could, as Mr Blair has reasoned, try and do something about the terrorists. It's not a very nice choice to have to make, but someone's got to do it.
