It's horrible, disgraceful and tragic what happened in London - I have friends and family there and shit my pants when I heard it was kicking off.
Would it have happened if Blair had followed Bush on his crusades & illegal wars?
I can't see anyone bombing Finland for example.
And I just don't buy that these "extremists" are terrorising simply to "end our way of life", and these pitiful reasons Blair points out.
I believe George Galloway was the only politician to point out this correlation yesterday.

(Jul 7 05, 23:44)I saw George Galloway on the TV last night too, he's the first politician I've heard who has actually addressed the root cause this terrorism rather than just saying they're crazed extremists jealous of our freedom.

george galloway is either a crazed conspiracy theorist or he speaks the truth... you decide.
i like a lot of what he has to say.

Hey Jamble, I haven't actually seen Galloway's spiel yet - I just heard / read about it.
Cheers for the response, I thought I was going to get bombarded with hateful responses.
Isn't it worrying how now ALL the world leaders are now avoiding the root causes and hiding behind this "they're jealous of our freedom" facade.
Fucking brutal really.

terrorism is a handy political tool, gives them something to talk about, makes us scared and look to them for help. i mean it's kept bush in power for a second term and i'm sure lot's of people are making money out of these attacks.
it's a twisted world we live in that bombs on trains mean dollars and seats.

I totally agree MyDo.
I hate to see BUSH and BLAIR. They are the creators of violence and for god's sake they are so BAD KARMA for their people and for the rest fo the world..
(blair addiotionaly is more pathetic because he is an asslicker and a pseudo-bully)
I hope their people dont give them a third chance.

I think Aussies already got it in Bali. And Aus troop count in Iraq is a fraction of other nations

rename - the people of Britain/England (I don't know what we are these days!) already gave Blair a third term in office!

Well said mydo - agree totally.

I remember when Blair got elected for the first time we all thought " well he is more down-to-earth, more european friendly, and certainly not somebody with so right-wing policies. He proved the opposite. This is why I am more pissed off with him than with Bush. He is a faker.

I'd really like to see what Galloway said. got a link?

Not exactly the transcript of what he said on the tv but http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_po…

it's way too simplistic to say it is blairs fault for joining the iraq war. this type of terrorism has been happening long before the war. it is just most people in our part of the world were blissfully unaware of the realities of the beyond their own.
the iraq war simply stoked an existing situation (outside iraq) rather than created one.
anyway no pointing fingers over dead bodies please.
peace

It's a shame that at some point there will be the inevitable finger pointing exercise but at the end of the day it's good to see that while we've known this sort of attack was a certainty, the time and money invested in rescue and recovery meant that a horrible attack could have been so much worse had the emergency services not been so well prepared to help the poor people trapped in it.

I listened to Radio 4 last night, another politicain spoke after Gerge Galloway had and said something like 'In the absence of the honourable member who having snagged his headlines has disappeared without remaining in the chamber to defend his statements..' (this is a VERY rough transcript of what was said).
Galloway is primarily a shameless self publicist who fopund himself backed into an awkward corner and found a quick way out.
What he spouts does have some hollow truth to it, but it's nothing that you don't hear every fucking wannabe anarchist rambling over their pints and roll-ups.
Ken Livingstone on the other hand stood up and spoke like a true statesman.

*anyway no pointing fingers over dead bodies please.*
I've been pointing my finger long before yesterday, and writing letters and articles on the topic for years. The frustration I feel today is cutting me up - and now I'm reading about suspicious packages being found in my native Scotland, it makes me feel sick to the stomach.
Human lives are the cost for our oil & arms industries.

Galloway - so far - has been the only politician who has attempted to analyse the root causes of why we're being bombed. You really think it's just because "they" don't like our ways??
The muslims and the christians lived in relative peace for hundreds of years.
Galloway is an expert self-publicist. SO IS EVERY POLITICIAN - that's how they got their job.
