AW: AW: Not Just About Iraq (Was: London)

[Keith McMullen]

How can American foreign policy, combined with the U.S. 
military-industrial complex, not be part of the dynamic that results in 
terrorism?

Bush and Blair are as responsible for the attacks as the terrorists.

It would be inappropriate too to lay the blame for those attacks on

Blair. Primarily responsible are those who planned and did it.

But I don't think that it has been Rich's intention to lay the blame on
Bush, in my reading he was pointing to all those hollow words we hear 
from
Bush since 9/11.

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.
