Who gave the right to invade a sovereign country to do whatsoever?
The country with the most guns can do what it likes. The US completely ignoring the UN proves this.
What if a more powerful Russia towards the end of the Cold War had decided that the way workers are exploited in the \"Western Countries\" was not right and decided to \"liberate\" Britain, in a unilateral decision with other nations disagreeing but looking away?
Then I\'d be living in Russia??
Personal feelings, as harsh as it sounds, give you a very subjective perspective and makes people overreact.
True, also not having any experience makes you feel complacent. It\'s easy to talk in hindsight about this kind of thing so lets say this:
if that guy had been wearing a bomb under that coat and the policeman didn\'t shoot him, or shot him in the body so that the bomb went off in the train killing 50 people then would we be discussing why the policeman didn\'t shoot the guy to kill and save those people\'s lives?
Put yourself in the position of the policeman. You see a guy in a big coat on a hot day who you think is a bit suspicous. You ask the guy to stop so you can talk to him and he runs away into tube station, where a terrorist attack took place only the week before. You follow him into the station calling for him to stop but he runs towards the nearest train. You now have a few seconds to react. Either you shoot to kill, or you risk him having a bomb under that big coat and detonating it killing lots of people. I\'d shoot to kill.
so I could have to wear warm clothes
In the few seconds the police had to think, they wouldn\'t have time to consider this possibility.
Photo evidence of mass graves is enough justification to me to invade a country btw. I\'m not saying that the countries doing it did it in the best way, but it certainally wasn\'t a bad thing.
Yes, it was definately 5 shots.
You can\'t shoot in the arms or the legs. Either the shots would set off the bomb or the person would once they\'d been hit.
its impossible to kill someone who is almost 1meter close to you without seeing he has no bomb.
You obviously didn\'t see the size of this coat
You could easily hide something underneath. One of the passengers on the train said he saw wires sticking out from the coat and thought it was a bomb as well, although this turned out to be headphones or something. This guy was only a meter or so away. So it isn\'t so easy.
especially the one who live in countries where the death penalty is absolutly forbidden
Treason carries the death penalty in the UK.
Moreover, if you think killing a criminal will save lifes you are wrong
Sure, killing isn\'t good once they\'re caught. But when somone is potentially armed who\'s in a public place you don\'t really worry about it. This is the problem. You think that bombers actually care about dying?? A lot of people seem to for some reason. If that guy had been wearing a bomb then he wouldn\'t have let himself been captured once he\'s caught. He\'ll just blow himself up and everything around him with it.
I agree that racial targeting isn\'t good.... but lets look at the facts here, most suicide bombers are asian in bloodline. You can\'t deny that.
What would you say if it was your brother, your sister or one of your parents who get killed and not an unknow brazilian?
Would have served them right for running away. Nobody in my family is stupid enough to run away from armed police into an area which was recently targeted by suicide bombers.
The only real way to defend our countries from terrorism is to really help the foreign countries to develop themselves AND to be sure the government are making what people want! (and its not the path we are following today...)
Agreed. Development helps a lot. Unfortunatly you have the leaders of those countries who are more intrested in making weapons with the money we give them.
