| Bombings in Amman - Help or hurt the insurgency?
Posted: 11/13/2005 1:02:15 PM | I've given a lot of thought to this latest bombing attack, and wonder if (although a tactical success) this will backfire on them in the international community/media and show them for the evil men they really are?
Thoughts?

I agree that killing innocents is wrong, but to say it never helped any cause ignores history. I would have said it has never helped a good cause, but unfortunately terror has worked for some before, recently we see how the protracted insurgency in Iraq has hurt America in the international community (and Iraqis on all sides).
Also, the VC used many bombings of political, intellectual and spiritual leaders (of all walks of life) who opposed their cause as well as Americans (bars, hotels, etc). They assassinated anyone of leadership ability who worked against them, it was a favorite tactic and usually included their families as well. They did it the old-fashioned way alright - scorched earth and all who oppose put to the sword.

What's so interesting about this attack was the target not being a western or christian one. But rather it was an ordinary muslim population, "their" kind.
Who would support that other than the mentally disturbed terrorists?
I think I call it a mental case what these people have. I read the story of the husband and wife bombers. Who drops their life in Iraq, drive over to Jordan, strap explosive belts around their waist and go suiciadal?
I tell you who, someone who doesn't want to live anymore? I think that's the motirvation more than anything politics.
Also, I think why would they do this is because they can't do anything else. I'm talking about zarquawi or whatever his name is, call him z for zidiot.
This Al quadia in Iraq doesn't have resources to send its would-be-bombers to far out countries.. because bombers have to be sophisticated enough to go through check points and airports to go to US or Europe. Since they can't, they bomb places in Iraq mostly. But that gets old after awhile, so they go Jordan, western sided government. As if the government will be scared into submission. That's z for zidiot.
I'm not complaining though.. they just simply might lose with their stupidity.

Posted: 11/13/2005 6:28:03 PM | | I don't think this was a calculated, strategic move. Just a random expression of anger like the London bombing. Unfortunately the invasion and occupation of Iraq has converted so many moderate muslims to radical terrorists we're going to see a lot more of this everywhere. | |

Unfortunately the invasion and occupation of Iraq has converted so many moderate Muslims to radical terrorists we're going to see a lot more of this everywhere. Have you not read the news? They captured a female bomber who's bomb did not go off. She confessed on Jordanian TV to having been involved with Al Qaeda and working for Abu Musab Al whats his face. Al Qaeda has admitted to the bombings saying it was because they were helping the new army of Iraq. Now the Muslim community is up in arms and speaking out against Al Qaeda. Its appears we are gaining more Arab support. They are tired of being killed by their own and will rise against them. This works good for Democracy and hopefully it will spread through the middle east without anymore bloodshed. Let's hope so anyway. | |
