Not guilty – for an attempt, guilty – if you will blow everything

A 'not guilty' plea been given to Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab for an attempt to detonate a bomb on a plane flying from Amsterdam to Detroit.



After the 911 attack, more than eight years ago, new security measures been introduced. And it has worked for some time. Till new attempts been stopped. But that brought only new rules up.



But after terrorists and just mad people are released free without any punishment it looks more likely that the only safe place is six foot under ground.



Climate change and Global recession are major news. And now, when Global recession is ending, people will start focusing on other things. And that should be people safety.



For ages Europeans been fighting in wars. Thousands killed and injured and what was that all about? Just a simple government illusion to get more land and to get rid of Jews. But we ended up. Land been divided, people killed and now everyone seems to be happy. War is our history. And history should be remembered. But is there a need to start another page filled with dates of … wars?



After the 911 attack hundreds been killed and injured. And amongst them - couple terrorists. And they can't be punished – they are already dead. But, till now, it seems like nothing been done to find and punish those one who still alive and are planning another attack. Yes, the Iraq war been started and it's still going on. But it was more about the mass destruction weapons that been thought to be held in Iraq territory. But, after the Americans entered the country, more lifes been lost. And people are still dying.



While Iraqis are killing each other just because they can't get together for ages doesn't mean those, who can get on, should be responsible. Endless bomb attacks are taking place in city centres and places where bigger people groups are gathering. And after the attack is made an announcement follows – some terrorist group declines it was their job. And they seem to be proud of that.



Yes, there will be a day when there will be more people on Earth than it will be able to feed. But killing each other isn't a solution.



Civilised nations solved their problems with less innocent blood. Or after solving the problem they became more civilised. But Jews and muslins are still fighting. And they started earlier than most of the Europeans.



During the time, when they been 'getting on', they should have already killed all nation they fighting against. But they haven't. And you know why? They simply doesn't fancy killing their people any more. They found other nations that, according to them, done more bad than their previous enemy's.



And, according to history, there's always innocent deaths. But at least the killers been found and punished. Sooner or later.



Maybe it's time to start acting not just by announcing new security rules. They won't solve anything. They will just slow down the terrorists. Less attacks but they can be bring more deaths. Innocent deaths.



Not guilty – for an attempt, guilty – if you will blow everything up – current system should be understood like that. Terrorists can try as much as they wish and they will be let free till they will blow something up. But usually, by doing this, they die during the attack. If we'll punish terrorist after his attempt, he won't be able to do another one.



Today Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab been let free and it was his attempt. The next one can be lucky for him – deaths may occur. And it can be more than 300 people and a plain.



What's wrong with the system that punish innocent but can't cope with killers? A man, who stole 100 quid, will be found and put into prison for ten year but someone, who killed Mr Jones, will walk free. Maybe for a year, maybe for five, or, as usually, for all his life.
