[quote="Short Hand":ab2a3]It is easier, more important, why not ? why choose such a target ? I mean when you play COD.... do you shoot for the head or neck ? All this attack has done is rally the British people a bit mre causing the opposite effect of which the terrorist exist for. They are not what they are for being making stupid choices on what & where they do what they do.[/quote:ab2a3]

I think it would be safe to say that they wanted to attack the UK in order to get similar results that they got when they attacked Madrid. They bombed Madrid and Spain pulled out of the Middle East. Maybe they thought if they did the same to the UK, that they would have one less opponent in the middle east. --just a thought
