Terrorists

So these Islamic ‘terrorists’ that have been arrested in the home counties: these are British citizens. Is anyone clear on what exactly they want us to do? Support the global imposition of Sharia law? Or is it just “not have invaded Iraq”. Or “not have done something or other in relation to Israel”. In which case it seems like a fairly pointless kind of ‘revenge’ terrorism with no obvious endgame. I may be accused here of crassly misrepresenting the terrorists’ legitimate grievances, but if nobody tells me explicitly, how am I supposed to know?

Maybe the ‘terrorists’ have written to the government with a list of demands? I know we never get told anything by the government, but I’d be interested to know what the demands are. I expect it’s all too difficult for someone not experienced in international dimplomacy to understand. Best to leave these things to professional terrorists, dealing with professional ambassadors, like we leave matters relating to the crime industry to professional criminals and the police, because they are the ones who know how to deal with such things in the proper prescribed manner. Incidentally, who is our ambassador to al–Qaeda? George Galloway probably…

Are we all doomed? Can even Inspector Sands save us now?
