Discussion is the only way these issues get resolved and for a car forum the open debate here is open and frank without being bigoted or controversial.
any "boots on ground" operation must include Russia otherwise ww3 is here and that must be avoided at all costs .
I was in the US prior to 911 , landed in New York went through customs then on to a connecting flight to Chicago , I can't remember if I had to show ID getting on the plane but getting off there was nothing , I kept walking expecting to go through some sort of security but no, straight off the plane on to the street which really surprised me.
Why? You won't see much getting off any domestic flight in any country - the security about getting on domestic flights is relatively recent, but why would there be any requirement for checking people getting off a flight in-country?
I was lucky when the IRA bombed Warrington , I decided to go to Manchester that day , a friend was about 200m away when the bombs went off, luckily he ran the right way when the second bomb went off
perhaps its always been the norm with internal flights, its the only time i've ever flown internally but this suggests I didn't have to show ID to get on either
In 2003 John Gilmore sued United Airlines, Southwest Airlines and U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft, arguing that requiring passengers to show identification before boarding domestic flights is tantamount to an internal passport, and is unconstitutional.[6][7] Gilmore initially lost the case, known as Gilmore v. Gonzales, and an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court was denied.
I was in Warrington that day, going to Argos, I was in Buttermarket St when the bombs went off. If I had been a bit earlier I would have been in Bridge St, so always considered myself lucky that day.
I think it's time to send troops to Syria and Iraq and root out this cancer.
As long as they continue to hold territory, a semi functioning state and sources of income, this will only get worse.
Airstrikes alone are useless

It's very easy to say 'send in the troops' when you aren't one of them. We have already fought in Iraq and Afghanistan for 14 years which has cost the UK and British Commonwealth in 635 men and women dead, thousands with missing limbs and other injuries and not much in the way of help from the British government afterwards. In fact, the current government were so thankful for our sacrifices they made over 20,000 members of our army redundant. Just my opinion.
Very lucky, I'll never understand how anyone could plant a bomb outside a McDonalds on the day before mothers day specifically targeting children
