Everyone knows what those guys did was misguided and wrong. Why did they do it? Simple answer Great Britain's involvement in an illegal war. There wasn't a similar reaction during the first Gulf war, why was that? The war was legal. I myself gave blood for the troops should it be needed.<BR/><BR/>52 people died on the 7th July 2005 in London due to terrorist actions. The country stops and remembers. What if say Iraq stoppped and remembered every single victim of terrorist outrages. Thats how fucking precious we are!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
