Not all of us Americans are bad! Any comment stating otherwise is just plain wrong. As no country is full of all bad folks.Dare2 wrote:We're still waiting to hear from rellies in London. However we're fairly confident that they are ok as none of the extended family there have contacted us yet, which would have been the case if there was bad news in that respect.
BTW, Guantanamo is America's gulag or stalag.
Sure, hold suspected terrorists. But do it in a way that is more in line with the US self-perception of being a just, peaceful, merciful and fair people. Then fewer other people would or could be critical. As it stands, Guantanamo is a symbol of how low Americans can sink. So no need to look up to them because - lo and behold! - they're just as bad as (and sometimes seem worse than) the rest of us.

Source: http://www.indiadaily.com/world.aspThe Associated Press reported July 7 that an anonymous source in the Israeli Foreign Ministry said Scotland Yard had warned the Israeli Embassy in London of possible terrorist attacks in the U.K. capital. The information reportedly was passed to the embassy minutes before the first bomb struck at 0851 London time. The Israeli Embassy promptly ordered Israeli Finance Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to remain in his hotel on the morning of July 7. Netanyahu was scheduled to participate in an Israeli Investment Forum Conference at the Grand Eastern Hotel, located next to the Liverpool Street Tube station -- the first target in the series of bombings that hit London on July 7.
The biggest question of the day is British Authorities knew and protected Israeli Finance Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, then why not common British citizens in London?
