An obscure Muslim ethnic group has attacked a border patrol station in China, killing 16 policemen by ramming their dumptruck into the compound and throwing hand grenades. This just days before the Olympics.
Do they really want to tangle with China??

Paul, that crossed my mind and if the mods think it needs to go I'll delete it myself. I look at it as more of a world event than political but will understand if they see it differently.
John, I didn't say it was a terrorist group, but a terrorist attack. That being said, I read several articles on this and a couple of them stated that the Uigurs indeed have been trained by al quada and the taliban. In my book, they just became another terrorist group with this stunt.
And yes, the IRA are terrorists.
It will be interesting to see what China will put up with, how they retaliate,and what they say to the people that tell them they handled it incorrectly. This should be good.

If they were to do to China that they did here, and England, and Spain, and everywhere else they have bombed, maimed, killed innocents, I don't think China will take it on the chin.
It could turn into one of those "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" deals between the world and China. I think nrb is right, they will tangle with anybody and their attacks know no boundaries. They can't take on the whole world though.
Here's a couple of links to the story.

I'd suggest the reason you haven't heard of these terrorist attacks by the network or print media is because they don't want to shine a light on the voracity of these lunatics. The media wants to keep anything about terrorist attacks out of Americas living rooms. They have an agenda and downplaying terrorism supports that agenda.

Well I think that if ------ wants to attack -------- then they're entitled to it since in the year ---- they were ------ by the ------ troops and their rights were violated!!! THIS was definitely only for -----, for a foothold in the ------ markets of ------ and for political gain (OOOPS!! )
SORRY!! I guess if the moderators want to delete this thread because it's "political" then hey.............
What ever happened to being able to discuss gun rights, freedoms and ------- and ------??
Maybe this will become the "everybody agree to hold hands and sing Kumbaya" forum, this way there'll be absolutely NO CHANCE of stumbling into any patriotic or political waters....... NO CHANCE to rejoice in our Second Amendment Freedoms......
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!! ( OOoooops........ )
Ohhh Yeahhh..... how 'bout them skeeters.... wooo-whooooo.....
