Fixed. I get the funny feeling that Bush should shut the fuck up. It's almost as if he'll say something, and then the insurgents will stir shit up more than usual to embarass him.

Well, at least the idiot in the car is dead. Reports indicate that the other five or six dead were bystanders around the immeaditate area of the blast.
From what I have heard so far, twas a good job done by the Iraqi security. The car never made it past the first set of blockades. The idiot driver/bomber never got close to the hotel and failed in his mission. I wonder if he'll loose some of his virgins in heaven since his mission amounted to NOTHING.
As too where is the peace?
You really can't stop nutjobs from strapping bombs to themselves. You can mitagate and contain the damgage the nutjobs do with the bombs though and this situation turned out pretty good as such.

I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong
But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

Tis no more dumb than 'suicide bomber' and both role off the tounge better than moronic Islamic dumb ass with C4 strapped to his chest.

Perhaps Vympel's point is that 'bomber' or 'terrorist' would be better descriptions. Personally, 'Homicide Bomber' seems like a bit of overkill to me.Knife wrote:Ok, I'll bite.

Because the POINT of bombing is to kill people. "Homicide Bomber" is redundant.

It's less accurate than "suicide bomber." Technically, every BUFF crewman is a homicide bomber. His purpose is to kill the other poor bastard before he gets killed. "Suicide bomber" makes it far more clear that the subject in question is indeed a moronic deluded* dumb ass with explosive strapped to his (or her) body.Knife wrote:Ok, I'll bite.

*note: I am not suggesting that all Islamic persons are deluded; rather, not all suicide bombers need be Islamic, but I do consider all to be, of necessity, deluded.
