the London bombings

Grrrr. Those morons! Could those al Qaeda twits be any more stupid? They want the west out of the Middle East. Understandable. I do too. Most of the Western population agrees with them -- witness the big protests and the ongoing anger at politicians who ignored the popular feeling.

Now these stupid jerks have handed the war-makers a great excuse to go in there guns a-blazing, and have reduced vastly, any support for their cause among their most powerful ally: the Western general population.

What incredible imbeciles!

I have to keep reminding myself that these are not the people who are having their rights trampled in the Western involvement in the Middle East. They are a bunch of restless, privileged, angry young fuckwits who are engaged in the same obscene action as our governments. Unfortunately both sides seem to think it is acceptable to hit citizens. Both sides think they have right on their sides. Both sides think they have a holy imperative. Both sides have religions and laws that forbid murdering bystanders.

The smarter people on the ground in the Middle East must be thinking "Oh no! These fools have just demolished our chances of peace in the foreseeable future."

...and the so we move on to the next stage in murder of women and children and other innocents.

I agree. Well said. We're up to our necks in it now.

Fuck John Howard, George Bush, and Tony Blair for dragging us into this crap.
