That crossed my mind. None of my business, of course, but I don't think the EU is good for Britain ... in fact, it seems as if it's good for nothing, unless as a front for German economic domination of Europe. Each nation should be allowed a free-hand in making laws to deal with terrorism. But it seems like there are no "nations" in Europe any more, just a faceless, spineless, bureaucratic blob with a pickelhaube stuck on top.

It's not the one stuck on top that bothers me, Eric.
It's the one they keep forcing us to sit on.

A year ago the New York Times exposed the F.B.I. as 'terrorist facilitators'.
It is looking increasingly likely that Boston bombing was in this category, but I have not yet finished websearching for opinions about it. One particular viewpoint was provided by a retired senior army officer - video below.

"But all these dramas were facilitated by the F.B.I., whose undercover agents and informers posed as terrorists offering a dummy missile, fake C-4 explosives, a disarmed suicide vest and rudimentary training. Suspects naïvely played their parts until they were arrested. "

The question a lot of people are asking is; was this a terrorist incident or just a mass shooting type of incident which are not considered terrorist incidents; such as Columbine and more recent ones.

Because the alleged perpertrators had no links to any terror organisations or made statements to the effect that they were motivated by this. Many are claiming it's only being seen as terrorism because of their ethnicity?

Put whatever shade of evil you want on it, innocent folk died because of their actions.

It could have been because they believe in fairies, it was still wrong.

One description they were given by Joe Biden I like "two twisted, perverted, knock off jihadis"

Seems to fit..they did it would seem have links to terror organisations, tenuous now but links all the same. The knock off bit.

And believers in fairies don't meet on a specified day each week to perform certain rituals,* dont identify themselves as a community of fairy believers separate from fairy skeptics and don't offer to die in defence of their belief in fairies.**

* Freemasons maybe?

Apparently, the Boston bombers were all packed up ready for another atrocity in Times Square when they were stopped. (on the evening news ).

Also the Mothers been on saying she regrets them emigrating to the States. Damned straight she isn't the only one feeling that way, ask those suffering loss or injury.

The parents seem full of self pity. Pity they didn't have enough to go round.!

Here's Canada's new Anti-Terrorism Bill .... not suggesting it as a model for you guys, just out of interest.

Surprisingly there are a lot of parents with the "our Billy wouldn't do anything like that" attitude, its time they joined the real world.
