It will affect your life anyway, even if you just hear about attacks on the news and are never affected personally.

I was thinking in flying to London just to see the subways, since they're war wrecks now and all. Some kind of Yugoslavia.

well there, they have allready affected you: you hate all "terorists" which are probably associated with bearded arabs, and not for example with young well dressed british looking people. you might not notice it, but your view of the world would be much different if not for 9/11...

Hmm this is a pretty stupid poll, due to the gung-ho views on terrorism. So what, there are attacks. What we don't hear is about 60% of the story.

Osama Bin Laden : Trained by the USA, funded by the USA and given weapons by them to fight off the Russians. Taliban helped by them too.

Surprisingly enough, he isn't a particuartly nice person and due to this he 'somehow' turned against his funders.

Why wasn't he killed in the early nineties? The Americans couldn't hire enough people to ensure his death.

Saddam Hussain : Put in by the USA to replace a government who they liked even less. Given money, arms, all of that lot. They also bought him some nuke-proof bunkers too.

Wiped out a lot of the Kurds, but since they had basically been terrorising the region I can't say that it was either unprovoked or underserved. Surprising as this may sound, they too were armed + funded by the USA.

Invaded Kuwait in a completely un-illegal war.

Now held by the USA, almost certainly going to die now in an unfair trial for crimes that George Bush has done.



And Blair and Bush are recognised as heroes by a fair few news channels *FOX NEWS*.

C'est la vie, je suppose...

I agree with A.J.

last year Madrid attacks caused much panic here, everybody thought Lisbon would be next.

No matter where they happen, it will allways cause impact in everybody' s life (unless you are tottaly insensitive )

i think what this pool was supposed to be was something like: "what will be your attitude under the fact your country/city may be the next place they attack"

I hope they hit everywhere else but the Parliament, otherwise they won't have any chance of killing any of our loved politicians.

Hmm that's a bit subjective, that, the same way that you've as much chance of dying on an aeroplane as being killed by an asteroid...

Different things entirely.
