Quote by: Osborn F Enready Killing on suspicion is never right! If that were the case, Bush, all his cronies, and most of both major parties in the U.S. would already be dead. |
Nice analogy, but in the wrong direction.
After all, Bush is the one who launched a ton of killing in Iraq, based on erroneous suspicion. And like Bush, those Bobbies should have, at the very least, pinned down and searched the guy first.
However, I am going to admit, at the bottom of my gut, a certain sympathy (not an excuse) for the London police
and, in the case of terrorism, to racial profiling. As Muslims in the west have been asking their own souls, why is it that Muslims may not all be terrorists, but all terrorists seem to be Muslim?
To quote some guy on a political talk show a couple of years back, responding to an anti-racial profiling advocate who had suggested that a terrorist could just as easily be a grey-haired white grandmother, "LOL... no, it couldn't!"
