An Attack on our British Brothers and Sisters is an attack on the USA

Donald Iarussi MFA | 07.07.2005 18:39 | Analysis | London

Todayw e are once again reminded taht we in the USA and our closest allie is at war. There are many who would like us to forget that.

The blood and pain in the UK is felt in the USA, even in Chicago.

I can go on and give a Conservative rant. i can scream at the peoplew ho have politicized the war in Iraq and the war on terrorism to try to bring down Tony Blair and USA President GW Bush.

It is not the time, It is time for us Americans to let you
across the pond to know that an attack on Britain is an
attack on our Parents, our family.

United we stand with our closest allie, stronger than ever to
win the war on terrorsim, to bring Democracy to the Middle East and to defend our shores.

We must not lose track of why we are fighting this war on terrorism and why we need to be victorious.
We must not let go of the images of 9-11, of the beheadings of innocent people or the bombings of Spain and now London.

Spain folded like an accordian and surrendered to the terror.
They believed that if they behave, theyw ill be left alone by the cowardly bully.

we the people of the USA and Great Britain know that the only conclusion is a victorious conclusion to the war on terror.

God save the Queen, God Bless the USA/UK

And just who are you looking to bomb this time?

And just who are you looking to bomb this time?

Aggression is NOT the answer.

We do not, as yet, have any confirmed evidence as to who was responsible. No action must be taken in haste - otherwise we face another Iraq.

Instead we must calmly work to understand the reasons behind this and other attacks, make sure we understand them before we take irrevocable action.

An 'eye for an eye' is of no help when it is directed at the wrong target.

Violence is NOT the soloution.

Do not fall under the spell of media and government hype.

He obviosly DID for get about Turkey, Kenya, Indonesia, Sudan etc etc etc... but hey I guess non-europeans casualties are easily overlooked.

And I guess he has also forgotten who gave Al Qaeda a leg up in the first place? Uncle Sam and the Agency... in case there is any doubt.

The situation is truly woeful: we have been undemocratically dragged into an unwanted conflict based on an obvious pack of lies (sourced from a govt that rigged an election headed up by a coke fiend moron deserter) and this guy wants us to rally to TWAT (The War on Terror).

If anything we should be screaming "impeachment" just like he should!

What are you doing on this site? You schmuck. Those people are lying dead and maimed because of your government's policies, and those of the Tory Bliar. You're not in my family - I'm not your parent. Get lost! You're in a family of oil grabbing, power crazed maniacs. Write to them - you'll find them in any transnational corporation or self serving government hierarchy. You think people here care about 'the Queen'? She's a revolting feudal parasite. Your ancestors (who must be turning in their graves) fought against royalty, if you remember? Obviously you're so ignorant you don't. I have relatives and friends in London - I still don't know whether they're alive or dead. All I know is it's all because of ASSHOLES LIKE YOU.

How come idiots like this can't ever spell?

07.07.2005 19:49

I guess it's a little out of order to criticise a statement of solidarity/support but neo-con shit like this is not welcom or asked for. In order:

"i can scream at the peoplew ho have politicized the war in Iraq and the war on terrorism to try to bring down Tony Blair and USA President GW Bush"

Well, we're pissed of with Blair and Bush for any number of reasons. Regarding the war, though, they both lied to us and I, personally, don't think that that's appropiate behaviour for elected representatives. the war was illegal and they lied about it so that they could attack anyway. You might like people like that. if so, you're welcome to them.

"United we stand with our closest allie, stronger than ever to win the war on terrorsim, to bring Democracy to the Middle East and to defend our shores."

The UK stands united with the USA because the PM (Blair) lied to us and when even that didn't get him the support he wanted, tagged along with the illegal invasion anyway, desite the vast majority of the people in this country not wanting him to. The PEOPLE of the UK don't stand united with Bush on this or anything else.

In return for this? Bush recently said that he wasn't going to view our relationship as one of quid pro quo. In short, Blair lets Bush fuck him up the arse and doesn't even get a reach around. "United we stand..." when it suits the USA, that is.

As for bringing democracy to the Middle East and all that, Bush's support of Israel effectively curtails that. this is also opposed by Blair but Bush ignores him. No reach around...

"Spain folded like an accordian and surrendered to the terror. They believed that if they behave, theyw ill be left alone by the cowardly bully. we the people of the USA and Great Britain know that the only conclusion is a victorious conclusion to the war on terror."

Spain kicked out a government that had tried to use the bombings to further its political interests, specifically by blaming them on ETA. It elected a government that had said that it was going to do what the vast majority of Spaniards want, i.e. withdraw Spanish troops unless the occupying forces in Iraq were placed under UN (not US) command. They weren't, so they left. We should be so lucky to have a government so principled.

As for the "war on terror" I've always thought it ridiculous to fight a war on a noun (I think this about the "War on Drugs" also.) A war on Al Qaeda would make more sense - but wouldn't fulfill US aims. I mean, they'd never have been able to invade Iraq if they'd had a war on al Qaeda, would they? The sooner we disengage from it, the better.

Don't Feign Innocence

07.07.2005 19:56

You illegally waged war on another country for no just cause, murdering hundreds of thousands of civilians (Downing Street Memos anyone?). Did you think people would not fight back? Don't feign innocence and play the victim without being honest about your own crimes first. The blood of Londoners is on Bush and Blair's hands.

Reality Check

the left will try to blame deaths on Blair and Bush

07.07.2005 20:05

I wrote the original article and ahve received hate mail from people who hate me for being jewish, ahte me for standing up for freedom in the world. The people who are blaming the bombings in ondon or 9-11 on Americans or England are the same who blamed
German economic problems on the Jews.

The same people who will tell you the holocaust never happened. These peeople are angry, ahteful people who ahte the freedom that USA/Uk give people. We overcame these angry vile
anti semits and anti capitalism cowards in WW2 and we will be victorious again.

These attacks are anti freedom, anti Christian, anti semitic, anti bhuddist, anti whatever supports freedom. Jihad has been going on for many years, Islamo Fcaists
have killed and beheaded Jews, catholics, Bhudists, gays, women, non virgins, women whom they dreamed had sex,

we are at war with the critics as well as al qaida, there are amny brits/americans who speak falsehoods that aid and abet Al Qaida. They want people to be slaves and these activist hate the ten comamndments and hate the Holy Bible

the real citizens of the UK/USA stand together and demand the exposing of the oil for food program, we demand freedom for Israel and condemn anti semites. We acnnot count on
JOCK STROP of France, a contributer to the corruption of the Oil For Food Program.

We will be victorous, we will destroy our enemy!

General protection fault

07.07.2005 20:21

It's now painfully clear that our governments, both US and UK, cannot protect us. We the people are paying for the actions carried out by our governments and their armies. No matter how many cameras they put up, no matter how many rights they alter/take away, no matter how many new laws they make - it's not working. I'm curious to see either what new laws will be made now or what new target gets a bomb dropped on it from the bombings that took place today. That seems to be what the US does and they think it works...My heart goes out to the families that have lost life today, they are the true casualties of the war or terrorism.

In Amerika, both the war on drugs and the war on crime have done nothing against what they were meant to combat. They were nothing more then a public reason to divert more funds to (insert government body here) - in fact we have seen more crime and more drugs on our streets. Now our great leaders have the war or terrorism, does this mean that now we will also have more terrorist attacks? Looking at the current track records of the American "wars on" it's seems pretty clear to me that the answer is YES.

If the world continues on the path it's taking thanks to our leaders, Einstein will be right about world war 4.

Identificational "Hit et Nunc"

07.07.2005 20:34

These anglo-saxon humans have been waiting for such MOMENTS, so they achieve paths to popular argumentation and collectivization of their minds being splited due to industrial society, following a slogan that one nation is one body. Let them pump up words, they survive being bombastic. Hitler pledged a FINAL SOLUTION to all economical problems when eliminating Indo-Europeans and Semits, Americans celebrated economical rise through the 2ww and before a paralleled PROHIBITION era, together they had needed only the import-export of nazis that survived and got rescued to America.
Unhappily, a breakthrough to technocratical solutions of socio-political complexity most of western people and intellectuals find in organicism applying the same qualities to society as are observed in natural life, identifying society as it is a perfectly functioning robot - thus bumping at technocrats excatly there where these appreaciate the most - rewarding them by serving utilitarian causes with a feeling of being consequentialy useful for those who govern, stimulating to have expessed ultimate loyality to the top of hierarchical structure, those who speak, but can always be doubted if they whenever have thought too.
We have seen massive killings already defined as genocydes explained as being causes of democratical interventions in Europe and Asia, it is a question what these anglo-saxons know, tend to know and understand. The war on terror has been lasting rather some decades already. Only, the technocratical solutions have not appeard to be the most practical ones. Let's hope that the crowd behaves as leaders command. Leaders? If we don't like them, we may swap them, cannot we? While this is democracy, isn't it?

Sorry for that guy down in Texas

07.07.2005 23:52

I'm sure he means well, and all Americans' sympathies are with our friends in the UK, but the US is turning into a heavily propagandized nation that is increasingly ignorant of reality. NYTex might do well to read Canadian Prof. Griffin's book, The New Pearl Harbor, so he can see that the images of 9-11 that he clings to are basically a lie. Five of the 14 suicide bombers, for example, have turned up alive. He may also want to study the laws of physics and the structural properties of the WTC in NY.

Let's all stand together and make sure Bush and Blair get imprisoned for war crimes, get to the bottom of what really happened on 9-11, and stop bombing and torturing people who should be considered innocent until proven guilty of terrorism.

They hate us for our freedom? Since the end of the Great War when the Allies betrayed the promises made by Lawrence of Arabia and embraced Zionism through the Balfour Declaration, we've been screwing the people of the Middle East. NYTex needs to look back beyond 9-11 about 100 years if he really wants to understand the problem.

If Donald Larussi truly believes what he so vociferously and earnestly writes, even in correctly talking about the beheadings and terrorist atrocities on the West, he is merely a propaganda-robot! Maybe he means well, but he does need some serious re-programming!

Soon, and perhaps a little later, we will all learn to be honest about every situation, and we will think honestly, write honestly, speak honestly and act honestly, in our everyday dealings with other people and so forth. This honesty will make us better people. However, I have no such belief that governments, especially powerful governments full of people drunk on wealth and (absolute) power will ever trade in any kind of honesty; all governments deal with half-truths, half-lies, disinformation, propaganda, and blatant distortion and complete fabrications. Even the clued-up seem naive to this; all power seems only to have one reality, and that reality is a continual justification for its own survival and holding onto the reins of power, no matter what is needed to do just that. Poor ol' Don Larussi is either a naive dupe, or another propaganda-robot, and only he knows the truth of that, perhaps he even doesn't know himself!

America wants oil! The Western nations started the colonial practise of stealing land and goods from everywhere else! All our western civilisation (certainly a lot of it) is based on this unpleasant, and well airbrushed, history! The ordinary person does not want war, death, etc but perhaps we want cheap goods, and high salaries, and etc! The world has always been cruel and unjust, are you all so blind to that?

If you are English, you owe to me a better explanation of class ideology Brits have ever exported to non-saxon people. And we, out there, had much trust that you, people of England would be more fair and honest. No, your multiplying prime minister was spending probably more time in bed than worrying that as a leader of a labour party his responsibility may be some broader than to the shores of the narrowed land he misleads.

By the way, I recommend that you buy a beginner's English book that has guidance in your native tongue (assuming that is isn't gibberish) and then once you are comfortable with that level buy:
