When I heard details about the bombers, an interesting thought crossed my mind. Now don't get me wrong, the potential capacity humans have for immense cruelty cannot be measured.
However, I found it rather difficult to believe that 4 home grown Brits would wake up one morning and decide to take out fellow humans in a "blaze totally lacking in any glory" - just because they want to prove a point.
It occured to me very quickly that these 4 unfortunate souls might have been fooled (duped if you will) into carrying their lethal cargoes.
They probably didn't even know what was inside those backpacks.
They might have been told to deliver those backpacks to the end of the respective tube lines (that they had been riding on) and hand them over to other "people" who were waiting to collect. The contents might have been undisclosed. They may have even been ordered not to open the packs. They might have been told it was an exercise in loyalty.
They may have been told ANYTHING but the truth.
They may have been sacrificial lambs.
In other words, they might be victims too.
All it takes is one evil soul to abuse the trust of these 4 guys and the rest is history. This is all theoretical, but what if it is true?
Evidently it suits someones twisted purpose to distort the truth.
Or perhaps the authorities haven't officially mentioned a word about this possibility in the hope of luring the true perpetrator into a false sense of security - so he can be caught.
Man is easily the most cruel of all creatures - however, I can't find the belief within myself to accept that 4 guys who had so much to live for would suddenly plot to blow up their fellow Londoners - regardless of race colour or creed, just because they belong to a religious sect (which may have allegedly asked them to do it).
I hope the truth prevails.
We all need to have a little faith of the heart.
