f the odds of being in an aircraft crash are in excess of 14 million
to one, the odds of two aircraft departing the same airport on the
same day, within 40 minutes of each other, both involving inflight
catastrophic loss.

i have no idea how many zero's the odds would involve !


The odds have now become moot, with the announcement that explosive residue has
been found among the debris. Its inevitable that the other impact site will
reveal some similar agent at work. We're counting angels on the head of a pin
while Islamist 'soldiers' strike civilians the world over - I have no doubt
they will be found to be the culprits in this case. During the Yugoslav wars
of succession, I supported the hard-pressed Muslim civilians and I still do.
But when I pass a middle eastern man on the street, I see him now as a
potential enemy soldier, someone to be wary of. That this alienates me from a
billion of my fellow men bothers me, however I understand we are at war.
These airliners were downed by enemy action.

not for those damn conspirowhcko's it isnt.

i dont know what that means ?

claimed responsibility included the basis of russian acts against the
chechen muslims.

During the Yugoslav wars
of succession, I supported the hard-pressed Muslim civilians and I still do.


i supported no side and still dont, all made claims against the other
side for doing the same thing as they were doing.

But when I pass a middle eastern man on the street, I see him now as a
potential enemy soldier, someone to be wary of.


thats hardly a sound basis to work on is it, concluding that everyone
from a geographical region is an islamic fundamentalist.

That this alienates me from a
billion of my fellow men bothers me,


i shouldnt think it's that alone that alienates you

however I understand we are at war.


really! at war with who? what is the capabilities of this state, of
whom we are at war with, tell me about their air force, their navy, or
army. what's the history of their military forces and previous
involvements.

These airliners were downed by enemy action.


really! with technology able to provide guided weapons from a
distance, their military forces must be a little underfunded if guided
weaponry has to be hand carried, their ground forces wont serve too
well will they? whats the political basis of this state we are at war
with ? can their forces lobby for increased military spending, you
would think they would have thought about that before getting into a
war.

personally speaking, it has the representation of an act of terrorism.
