By the time we are done with those bastards, a box of Oreos and a playstation will keep them far too busy to bomb anything.

Apparently that particular herbal cancer cure is quakery. At least, it can't be shown to be effective in preventing the cancer. Maybe it does cure it once it starts.

From an ABC story on the people arrested:

Neighbors identified one of the suspects as Don Stewart-Whyte, 21, from High Wycombe, a convert who changed his name to Abdul Waheed.


"He converted to Islam about six months ago and grew a full beard," said a neighbor, who refused to be identified. "He used to smoke weed and drink a lot but he is completely different now."


Ibrahim Savant of Walthamstow, one of the names on the Bank of England list, was a convert formerly known as Oliver, neighbors said.

From the Washington Post...

The number of serious international terrorist incidents more than tripled last year, according to U.S. government figures, a sharp upswing in deadly attacks that the State Department has decided not to make public in its annual report on terrorism due to Congress this week.

Overall, the number of what the U.S. government considers "significant" attacks grew to about 655 last year, up from the record of around 175 in 2003, according to congressional aides who were briefed on statistics covering incidents including the bloody school seizure in Russia and violence related to the disputed Indian territory of Kashmir.

Terrorist incidents in Iraq also dramatically increased, from 22 attacks to 198, or nine times the previous year's total -- a sensitive subset of the tally, given the Bush administration's assertion that the situation there had stabilized significantly after the U.S. handover of political authority to an interim Iraqi government last summer.

So, legalizing pot will cure the world of terrorists. I can deal with that.

Regarding your excerpt, MBC....terrorist acts have surely increased in Iraq due to Iraq. Chechnya, India, the Phillippines, Israel, and perhaps all of the others are not because of Iraq. They are because of radical Islamic extremists who would be doing it whether Iraq happened or not.

I'm not exactly sure what you just said.
