The Keystone Terrorists struck London Thursday, injuring no one but themselves. For every 9/11 or Madrid where Westerners marvel at the diabolical ingenuity of the terrorists, there are many examples of bumbling terrorists whose incompetence suggests that they might have trouble executing a stinkbomb attack upon the Saturday matinee. When al Qaeda attempted to blow up the USS Sullivans in the Gulf of Aden, they failed because their overloaded, explosive-laden boat sank before reaching its target. The 9/11 Commission Report detailed hucksters swindling bin Laden in the Sudan for $1.5 million: "Al Qaeda apparently purchased the [weapons-grade uranium] cylander, then discovered it to be bogus." Similarly, terrorist stupidity led to the capture of the 1993 World Trade Center bombers. The 9/11 Commission Report noted how "Mohammed Salameh, who had rented the truck [used in the bombing] and reported it stolen, kept calling the rental office to get back his $400 deposit." Mr. Salameh's greed and impetuousness helped unravel the whole conspiracy. If only we were so fortunate that all our enemies were so stupid.

George Bush could make a major dent in international terrorism with regard to our rail system. With one hire he could eradicate terror on our subways and buses. Hire Bernard Goetz. If he is not available get on the horn to Charles Bronson. Seriously, arm Bernie to the hilt and set him loose. The only one person who would be mad is Ron Kuby. GW hire Berrie now!

It really is a good thing that most of these would be assassins are incompetent. Unfortunately, all it takes is one out of many to stumble into success.

The question is: why do we (and other Western countries) continue to tolerate them living among us in the the first place? Do we take a chance in the name of fairness of allowing potential terrorists to live amongst us?

The footsoldiers who carry out these dastardly deeds and, in particular, the Islamic Clerics who preach hate and Jihad seemed to be tolerated until something like London happens.

I am having a very difficult time understanding why the West doesn't do a better job rooting out and restraining these killers. And in a perfect world, sending those who can be deported back to their country of origin.

Interesting viewpoint sarge....I like it. Whatever Bernie wants BERNIE GOETZ!!!!

Who is they in this statement? Muslims? Arabs? Saracens in general?

Well Ben, one thing we know is that all of the terrorists have been Muslims. So the "they" I would be referring to would be Muslims.

And since there haven't been any six foot tall, blond blue eyed Norwegians doing any terrorist bombing lately, the quicker the West starts with a profiling campaign, the safer we'll all be.

Actually I was referring to the vast impracticability of trying to keep all Muslims, Saracens, or Arabs outside of the United States, but thanks for playing.

Yes cut off trade with a huge portion of the global economy, and refuse to allow members of the world's fastest growing religion within our borders.

If your objective was A.) To cripple the United States economy, Press 1 and a English-speaking representative will be on the line momentarily.

If your objective was B.) To win the War on Terror, please hang up and call again.
