Age of Terror

The past two days has reminded us that we live in the Age of Terror, 9/11 was the start for the USA, in the UK we had 7/7. The attempted and actual attacks of the past two days has not caused any loss of life to the general public, but reading reports it seems that those that planned both attacks where not on the radar screen of the security services, thus I will throw out a tough question, we live in a Liberal Democracy, but at what time do you ask a simple question, what is more important civil liberaties or the saftey of the public. Thus it can be argued that the government should bring back internment for those that it considers to be threat to National Security. Although we have signed up to the European Human Rights Act, this is not a reason for the government to defend the security of the people. If you don't have enough evidence to arrest an individual but enough to make you very worried about the safety of the public there is only one option, Internment.


There will be those that will argue that we ended up talking to the Terrorists in Norther Ireland, and that is true, but we can never talk to UBL or Al - Qaeda , they are opposed to Liberal Democracy in all its aspects, there can only be one winner in this War on Terror. As in 1939 we in the West can not afford to lose, no talks no meetings mid way, Al - Aaeda has to be destroyed. This War on Terror will out last those here present, the difference from the past it can be argued is that UBL and Al Qaeda will use Weapons of Mass Destruction should they get their hands on them, 9/11 and 7/7 showed that human life means nothing to these Terrorists. They would like to kill hundrerds, thousdans or even the millions. Thus VIEWS TODAY CALLS FOR INTERNMENT.


Internment has not worked in the past, USA and UK have both taken this action, but letting people off the hook because there is not enough evidence is not a good enough reason. If you cant bring people to trial but you have enough evidence to be worried it is better to place these people in a place where you can look after them but also investigate their case more without the pressure of having to let them go after 28 or 90 days. It should be noted that although VIEWS is a Neo Con in a real way VIEWS is a Classic Liberal, Limited Government but the role of Government is to protect the people. Thus it is time for serious people to think outside the box, security of all the people of the UK must come first and last.
