PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS nails it again--short but sweet

Sorry if it's a dupe:

Blowback Hits Britain
Londoners Pay Heavy Price for Blair's Deception
By PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS

Do you feel safer now that George Bush's and Tony Blair's barbaric attacks on Iraq have brought barbaric attacks to London?

Coordinated attacks on London's transport system have apparently killed 38 and injured 700. It is a terrible thing but hardly surprising...

<<snip>>

Blair and Bush are on their high horses claiming the morality of "civilized nations" and denouncing the retaliation they have provoked as "barbarism."

<<snip>>

Their hypocrisy plays poorly in the world. Far more innocent Iraqi civilians, especially women and children, have been slaughtered than British and Americans. Why do Bush and Blair believe they should be praised for slaughtering civilians and only Muslims denounced?

Why do Americans think it is heroic and honorable for our troops to massacre Iraqis with bombs, missiles, gunships, tanks, and heavy machine guns, but cowardly and barbaric when our victims fight back in the only way they can?

<<snip>>

No more bluster and heroic talk from the two war criminals. The war is breeding terrorism and cannot be won. Only an even-handed diplomacy that breeds trust and ceases to rule Muslims with puppet governments can isolate and reduce terrorist acts. Muslims are not a few scattered Indian tribes with no place to hide who can be exterminated. America has no chance of imposing its will on the Muslim world. Muslims have their own will.

8. "Bring It On"

and I am sure they will. The question is how long until another attack here in our homeland? The US government, the most powerful government in the world, with all its resources SHOULD be able to prevent this from happening. After all isn't this the purpose of the Homeland Security Department, the reorganization of our intelligence assets, the Patriot Act, etc? All I know for sure is I, for one, will be absolutely outraged if there is another successful attack here at home. With the LACK of real protections here (uncontrolled illegal immigration is only one example of many)I won't be surprised. The irony is no doubt the right wing will spin the story like a washing machine and the sheep will be pissed at the left for the attacks.
