Class snobbery in incompetent terrorism?

UK bombings probably Alqaeda. The one bomb was targeting a nightclub on "ladies night". Can't have immoral women you know.

The joke going around the internet is that these people were so dumb that they used new, expesive cars instead of junkers, perhaps because they weren't the type of people used to messing around with junky cars in their garage: Dustbury and PurpleAvengerBlog note the amateurish bomb suggested they were incompetent with machinery and blame modern "education". But I think he misses the point: Strategy Page notes that the "A TEAM" is dead or in Gitmo, so you are left with wannabees who don't hold jobs, study religion rather than mess around with cars in their back yards or fix machinery.

But the really bad news is that thanks to having to screen for terrorists, there has been a slowdown of visas for Pinoy caregivers.
