No one would blame the London police if they had not shot this poor fellow. Not a soul, except those perhaps who want to embroil the UK in a general war on the Third World, as they have the US.
What to do now? The US and the UK should stop panicking. They should start assessing what they have done in history and currently to provoke these stupidities, and they should move to redress those things. Only then can the US and the UK start to expect that they will be treated with respect and viewed as contributing members of the international community. I am picking on the US and UK; I should enlarge my comment to include all colonial and neo-colonial powers. Italians, Spaniards, Belgians, French, Portuguese, Mexicans -- the lot. Until this happens, these countries will be under an historical burden and guilt that will jeopardize their hopes to live peacefully in a peaceful world.

I know that it would be nice to avoid grievances and for us all to live in peace and harmony. But at this juncture: What to do? If the police don't shoot they are blamed. If the police shoot they are blamed. arthur -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Harry Pollard Sent: Saturday, July 23, 2005 11:40 PM To: 'Christoph Reuss'; futurework@fes.uwaterloo.ca Subject: RE: [Futurework] London Assassins were Trained in Israel Chris, What would you do if someone in a heavy overcoat on a hot day - someone who was under your surveillance - went into the subway and boarded a train, soon after similar situations in which bombs had been exploded killing 50 people? You needn't answer, for you are never faced with that situation. It's always easy - for a non-player - to complain at mistakes made by those who are trying to save multiple casualties and must think and act quickly.
