So much for fighting them there so we don't have to fight them here...
I have been reluctant to join the chorus placing the blame for the terrorist attacks in London at the feet of Tony Blair. After all, terrorists are terrorists, and this is what they do. But I think I'm changing my mind. Now it seems that rather than "fighting them on the streets of Iraq so we don't have to fight them on our streets" -- a cruel conception in the first place since it supposes that the deaths and misery caused by terror "over there" are less important, and the lives less valuable, than ours -- now, it seems we're fighting them everywhere. And it's getting harder and harder not to blame the whole bloody mess on the disastrous neocon project in Iraq. By invading Iraq, perhaps we really have opened the gates of hell. And now, thanks to Mssrs. Bush and Blair, we're fighting them in...
Not to mention the Philippines, Bali, Indonesia, across the African continent, in Colombia and Pakistan and Russia, Afghanistan and only God knows where else. I've always believed this war was a waste of time, blood and treasure, and a grave, grave mistake. Now I guess I'm with Ken Livingstone -- the blood of the world is on Mr. Bush's hands, and shame on Tony Blair for following him.
