Scotland Yard’s Successful Methods

I’ve spent the weekend watching the news from London and Glasgow, Scotland.  You have to give Scotland Yard and all members of the British Police great plaudits for their handling of the bomb plots at Haymarket, near Piccadilly Circus and then Saturday’s terrorism at Glasgow’s international airport. 

            The Brits made good use of closed circuit television cameras all around the country.  They’ve made arrests because they were caught on camera.  At Glasgow, the safety barriers stopped the Cherokee Jeep in which two “Asian” men tried to crash into the airport.  Scotland Yard has arrested at least five of the suspects, one of whom even though critically burned, fought to keep going to

complete his mission of killing innocents. 

            I’ve spent lots of time in London around Haymarket, Piccadilly Circus, Covent Garden and Westminster.  I couldn’t help but smile when I heard a terrorist expert exclaim Sunday just how the Scotland Yard would give the suspects “a clinical examination.”  I know what that means.  I’m for it.  Terrorists don’t deserve the freedom they are innocent until proven guilty.

            Like lots of other people, my thought is how long are we going to put up with the terrorists.  When are we going to get visibly angry and yell to the top of our lungs, we’ve had enough?  Isn’t it time for an even more hard-line approach? And we’re worried about them being held in our Guantanamo Bay prison?  Hogwash.

            My suggestion today, and hopefully not laughable, is that world leaders – read that Western leaders – convene immediately leaders of all the Arab countries, force them to grab hold of the terrorist problem.  The threat should be isolation of all the Arab countries if they don’t intervene in the Muslim fanatic terrorism.  I mean to totally close them off, send them go back to the Stone Age, which they so fervently admire.

            This may be a bit simplistic, maybe even sophomoric.  But terror plots are now big business and threaten the rest of the world. ◄
