I made the same observation on a comment on another blog. It seems they are still silent, even the next day.

Yeah, me too...in fact i haven't heard from Dabe,etc... for more than 2 weeks or so...hmmm, maybe they are behind the bombings...LOL Just Kidding

No, she has probably quit in disgust!

Terrorists being held by the U.S. - outrage

Terrorists attacking London - silent

They can't make their "you asked for it" point without destroying themselves, so they just keep their mouths shut. If they villify the villains they show their stance to be the cowardly path that it is.

Exactly.

I'm a liberal, and I'm outraged.

I'm not sure why you have such a pressing need to vilify liberals. All Americans, regardless of political affiliation or political leaning should be concerned with combating global terrorism.

I, an American, a mother, a liberal, and a military spouse, say that the terrorist attacks in London are a tragedy, an outrage, and an alarming reminder of the cowardly and vicious nature of the enemy that America and our allies are fighting all over the world.

I'm not calling for sympathy or understanding or love for the terrorists...I call for obliteration of those who threaten America and the way of life that so many of my fellow Americans have died, and are dying, to preserve and defend.

no yer not! democrat yes, lunitic liberal no tex, no how , no way.

the farleft is not posting because unless they are spreading lies, twisting truth, or bashing Bush and america, they have nothing to contribute!

Hahhahaa...I'm no Democrat, that's for sure.

There's no party that I know of that I want to affiliate myself with, but the majority of my views are left-leaning, so I consider myself a liberal (other things I've been told I might be: Liberal Republican (haha, is that even possible?) and Independent).

Me too!! The London tragedy is hardly a matter for Republican triumphalism. To use this tragedy to justify a bungling policy that, if it does not directly contribute to escalating terrorism, it at least is not doing much to contain it.

i'm only a bit more outraged than i was previously. whatever additional feeling of outrage i mighta experienced if the london bombing had happened 2 years ago, is muted by a growing sense of futility and the inevitability of further outrages.

you may bask in the feelgood warmth of hearing incompetence assure you that 'we're gonna get 'em and get 'em good!'. what i'm hearing is empty threats and false bravado from someone who assured us he'd get bin laden four years ago.

my dad used to tell me if i expected the dog to do what i wanted i had to be smarter than the damn dog. until there's someone in charge who's already learned that lesson, you might as well get used to being outraged until even you can no longer sustain it...until even you finally realize how much time has been wasted playing stupid testosterone power games.

take a look at bosnia and ask yourself why it's different from iraq. why aren't peacekeepers under fire there? why isn't bosnia the new terrorist training academy?

could it possibly be that 300,000 troops in a much smaller arena made the difference? could it possibly be that bush, cheney, wolfowitz, perle, abrams, negroponte and all the rest of your heroes who've been tossing lives and money at the problem don't know shit bout prosecuting a war? could it possibly be that smarter is better than louder?

that's about as outrageous a concept as i can handle at the moment.

I'm not sure why you have such a pressing need to vilify liberals. All Americans, regardless of political affiliation or political leaning should be concerned with combating global terrorism.

I agree that all Americans should be concerned, but the fact is they are not and a lot of people are actively working against fighting terrorism. Those people are mostly on the left.

"could it possibly be that 300,000 troops in a much smaller arena made the difference?"

Damned of you do, damned if you don't. Everyone seems to think the idea of "occupation" taints the whole process, but then they say we aren't occupying them enough. People keep saying we aren't protecting the Iraqi people, and then say we need to get the hell out.

If anything is to blame, I think it is this tangled mess we offer in the name of resolve. We neither do it or don't...

Making all due allowance for the weird way Americans use the word 'liberal', I saw one liberal expressing his outrage in a very forthright way: the Right Honourable Anthony Charles Lynton Blair, MP. American conservatives need to remember that the left of centre (whatever anyone may claim to the contrary) British Labour government is the best ally you have right now and last time I checked the British Conservative leader was persona non grata at the White House.

Standing together: Great idea.
Cheap partisan point scoring: Not helpful.
