Poll question: Was the London bombing in reaction to Iraq?
Edited on Sun Jul-10-05 02:16 PM by TheFarseer
I want everyone to have thought this out before they vote. There can be no doubt the Madrid bombing was in reaction to Spain's involvement in Iraq, but keep in mind they were bombing alot of stuff before Iraq (9/11, Kobar towers, '93 WTC bombing, Bali, USS Cole)

2. How many middle eastern terrorists either blew themselves up or planted
bombs in England prior to GWI (Gulf War I) I would rather Gulf War Massacre I... but I don't want to come across as biased.

3. Too early to tell if you ask me...
There could be multiple 'motives', Iraq could easily be one of them, or they may have just planned on doing that for another reason altogether.

4. You should have had "Other" as a choice.
Like the poster says, it's too early to tell, and we certainly can't just accept what the corporate media reports. I have my suspicions, but will keep them to myself for now.

6. No, they were protesting the way MTV handled the Live-8 Concert
All the stupid cut-aways and such.

It could also be because MSNBC canceled The Dennis Miller Show.
