British police received information this morning of a van parked in the busy nightlife area of Piccadilly Circus that was smoking. Police responded and later alerted the bomb disposal unit. Turns out the van had another vehicle parked inside that was packed with gasoline, nails and detonators. The size of the vehicle born improvised explosive device and the number of the people in the area at the time would have equated to a large loss of life if it were not reported and disarmed. This specific designed attack matches several others attempted in the UK over the past several years according to MI5.
Europe and the UK specifically is being taken over by Islamic extremism and no one knew it until it was too late. Do we want America to suffer the same fate by not attacking the source of the problem right now? Terror attacks will continually be launched around the world, gaining intensity in Europe and moving into America. Our only hope is the undeniable destruction of Islamic radicalism. Granted, this is not an easy task and I believe traditional war will not resolve it to an end. However, even though this is not the war we envisioned, it is the war we are in. For now, we must kill as many insurgents as possible and leave Iraq with the most secure government we can. This is our hope for now.
