‘Don’t tell me you agree with me, when I saw you kicking dirt in my eye………It don’t matter if you’re black or white!!’ intoned Micheal Jackson in his hit single Black or White. . And as Nugz sang ‘It don’t matter who you are, I’m gonna take you down with a weapon from afar’. Both coincidentally being one of my few favorite numbers, also depict the reality in todays world of mass infiltration. The London blasts were an unfortunate tragedy which, in my opinion was inevitable ever since the stand the U.K had taken with due regards to the Afghan war.
After 9/11, airport security had been beefed up. But essentially the security which was overhauled only related to the major North American airports and also the U.K airports to a certain extent. At that point they had major extensive checks on passengers arriving and departing from the above mentioned airports. But this still posed a problem. For flights coming in from places like Tehran, Dhaka, Johannesburg and Abu Dhabi into the U.S or U.K, the flight security at the departing airports was still the bare minimum. So if the security at those departing airports was less, added security at the U.S and U.K airports wouldn’t be of much help as the terrorists could simply hijack the flights in mid-air and re-enact another 9/11. The difference between what I exemplified and the actual 9/11 was that, the flights of the latter were national flights and so obviously the security agents at the departing U.S airport were threatened or bought (as later investigations proved), so that the hijackers could smuggle the weapons on board.
Afghanistan and Iraq have always hated the Americans, and when they executed 9/11, it was a classic case of spite garnishing the hunger to avenge the people who had been massacred when Afghanistan and Iraq were bombed.
Afghanistan……After 9/11, obviously the U.S was enraged and initiated a war on Iraq. Nothing there…..they HAD to…….. otherwise the US citizens would have had the U.S president by his bs. But then the U.K Prime minister gets into the act and starts to proclaim” We will also fight this war against terrorism. Terrorism being a global issue, fighting against it is our moral duty and the U.K will send its soldiers to Iraq to combat and dismantle terrorism at its core” And so the U.K deployed their troops to the U.S.
Now the main point I am trying to emphasize……
1- What the heck for did you have to send your troops to Iraq, when nobody has attacked your country? (the U.K) and (read below first)
2- If you think the above is unjustified and that terrorism is really a global issue…..what in hell for do you (U.K) need to announce to the world (Afghanistan included) that you, the U.K, who have absolutely nothing do with the current situation at hand are helping the U.S and providing them with soldiers to combat the Afghanis. I doubt the Afghani’s while fighting a war are going to stand up in middle of a gun battle and say “hey….you’re British……you cant fight mate…...what are you doing here?.” To which the Brit would reply “nothing old boy…..Blair just sent us down here against our will……you wouldn’t have a fish and chips inn around here somewhere, would you?”
My point is just that…….if you want to poke your nose into something that doesn’t concern you, and especially if the matter at hand deals with injuring a third party, make godamn sure the third party, much less the whole godamn world doesn’t hear about what you you’re doing. Prime Minister Blair ON TELEVISION should just have expressed his negative thoughts against terrorism and that it should taken apart…..but he didn’t have to add his comments that the U.K Soldiers are also going to help the U.S fight the terrorists in Iraq when the UK had absolutely nothing to do with it
The Al Qaida and other terrorist groups have been to that day blaming the British for helping out the U.S, even though it was no concern of theirs, and out of spite they pledged an attack on U.K which as I said before was forseen and inevitable. Now if the U.K had quietly sent their troops down to Iraq to help the Americans, The Al Qaida simply wouldn’t have known about it and what happened in London wouldn’t have really taken place
The London blasts……..as I maintain…..was an act which was initiated by the foolishness of the British Coucil. Not only did they interfere in matters (post 9/11) which though of no-direct concern to their own country, was still though a matter of great importance. But they also went around proclaiming that they had indeed helped the U.S defeat the terrorists stationed in Iraq by sending in their own soldiers to battle when it was absolutely unnecessary to do so, and even more imprudent and irrational to publicize it to the world.
