I agree that we are now in a quagmire.  And I agree that the Iraq war has 
made the world less safe by creating an unstable environment with the 
potential to become a breeding ground for exporting more terrorism.  But to 
*link* the London attack to the US's incompetance at waging war and the US's 
inability to protect its friends sure seems like laying blame to me.  And it 
also rings hollow as anexpression of sympathy for the victim.
