More terrorist alerts

Hello dear, nice to see you after couple of days. You have touched such sensitive and important topic. See as real war kind of action the government and other Anti terrorist squads have already hugs jobs, and they are any how manages to reach the goal some times. But as an alert citizen, we can also contribute,,, 1. Be watch full, and should not touch or open some parcel or the thing that seems doubt full. Or we have suspect to have some explosive in it. 2. Keep casual eyes in the activities happening around us, in our neighbor, it may be possible that they are planning and preparing their destructive mission in our neighbor. We must Immediately inform the local Anti terrorist help line about any unusual activity in our neighbor. 3. Just live normally and healthily, never get panic as their main intention is to spread terror in our mind, so always try to be normal, and never react that they are getting success in their intention of spreading terror.

My husband and I have said since the beginning that it is impossible to prevent it. We can try to make it harder, but a determined foe can and will find a way around any safeguards we come up with. Unfortunate, but true. I think many of the actions taken have been more to appease the public, to appearl ike they are doing something, than to provide any real safety. Remember the smug talking heads after the first, unsuccessful attack on the World Trade Center? How they dissed the attackers and didn't take them as a serious threat? I looked at my husband right then and there and said something like, "Way to go. Talk like they are too stupid to do it right. They'll be back, and next time they'll succeed. We just made sure of that. It will be a point of honor for them now." It's never wise to underestimate your opponent.

GOOD MORNING KAREN, haven't seen u on here in a few days, hope everything is o.k. w/u. As for the terrorists i don't believe they can be stopped. Brainwashed people are a danger & they must be brainwashed to commot such awful things. It is very scary to think that people could be talked into to doing such awful things.hope u have a great weekend.

In England they have put up with these types of threats for many years, first from the Irish and now Al quaida in Spain different terrorist but same threats. We may just have to learn to be more aware and accept that this is not going away soon. After all to them we are the arch enemy and they wish to save the world from us. It all depends on your point of view.

There is nothing sad for these alert this show how are intelligence agency are working now days and making us aware about these in advance.

Unfortunately I don't think that we will be able to stop terrorism . The reason why is because we can upgrade our security but I think determined people will always find away around security . I do wish it was stop able though because I think man kind is going to bring about it's own extinction either through global warming , war , or terrorism . Plus I also think it's unfortunate that human beings would turn against each other like that instead of helping each other and making this world we live in a better place for us and future generations .

Hi Karen I don't think they will ever stop it as it has been going on as long as I can remember I was an Army Daughter and also an Army Wife, it is terrifying My Children grew up knowing not to go near the car till I checked it, not to pick up anything that they did not know it was I do not think they will ever stop, if anything they have got worse, it started with only attacking the Soldiers now they do not care who they get and it is very sad, the People who do this can not be normal they really can't if they are able to do this sort of thing

Karen, Terrorism is prevalent and a worldwide issue, today. As such it will need the efforts of everyone starting from the authorities to the common layman. I felt that as far as awareness is concern, I can say for a high percentage of certainty there's no one living today who is unaware. The only issue will be just what are they doing about it. All efforts and counter measures will just be nothing if there is just one slight tinge or quarter that will turn the other way round and become sentimentalists to such deviant networks. People that will see that terrorism is necessary and they will participate wholeheartedly with the movement and organization by enrolling, recruiting, propaganding, financing and even pacify governments and religious groups to their side. I feel that everyone needs to see eye to eye on this issue and that terrorism is one big lie about humanity and preservation. And for this to happen, we should never undermine and discount the importance of education here. Where it will hopefully educate the very minorities that they are not minorities or outcasts of the modern society and most of all the value of life. It is also hoped that extremism be eradicated in this process and hence reduce such networks from thriving. From the previous attacks, it is also indicative that authorities have been complacent and negligent with their duties and implementation of counter measures when it was necessary and mattered most. I just cannot see how 911 would have taken place if the authorities had taken the warnings seriously in the first place. And the recent underpants bomber, if his name was being treated with grounds to ban him from boarding the plane in the first place. Fortuantely, a vigilante was alert and courageous enough on that fateful day, I just cannot imagine what it would be like otherwise. We need a common understanding and a concerted effort here. Have a nice day.

I read an editorial about how Israel handles airport security. All bags are searched before people are allowed into the airport. I think there were also searches and/or body scans. The article pointed out that we in the US were looking for the wrong things, ie metal, when most explosives these day are plastics.

hi karen madam, i am against to terrorism,US must take strict and severe action with the terrorists,not excuses to terrorists,if we control terrorists the entire world will be peaceful,terrorists are spoiling the nations and people around the world,do not worry you will be safe and US will be safe,have a nice day

Hello my friend PeacefulWmn9 Ji, So nice of you for your worried discussion on global problems. Why not one expects 'ORDER OF THE DAY'. It is now there as everyday's affair. It is as per routine, anything which becomes routine is very difficult to remove it. It is not only in US OR Britain, it is all over. I would only say that had drastic action initiated initially against terrorism, this would not have prolonged. Thereis is intellligent network, at teh same time 'COUNTER-INTELLIGENCY NET-WORK' is not effective. Terrorist are equipped with most moden weapory system, whereas agecies responsible to wipe them out have limited resoures and will toeliminatye them. et's not worry. I leave it to Almuighty, it is HIS creation, He is responsible. If HE wants to continue, how one can fish in troubled waters. May God bless You and have a great time.

Hi peacefulwmn - I just had a thought this morning. We've had some strikes of late, quite a few, so much so that the sympathizers of the cause are losing interest in the strike and going about their business, inspite of such call to close all shops and establishment. I think terrorists too are overdoing it. Soon people will start accepting it as part of their day to day lives, and accept the risks associated with it. Then, their cause will lose the steam may be. In any event, put yourself in terrorist's shoes, and think whether or not you would warn? They seem to be doing like some child's play! I think people will realize that this is no group with any cause, and they would be undermining their own cause.

They are everywhere and they are going to do what they want when they want. While our attempts to stop them seems reasonable, we should be more concerned about more important things. I mean the country is facing a bigger crisis, and not being able to trust people isn't helping.
