]]>“Terrorism†is certainly a despicable activity…but masochistic self-incrimination isn’t much higher on the moral scale.
After 1944, a certain lobby literally harassed the Vatican and the French government (using guilt by association and other Pharisaic scare tactics) for nearly four decades until they finally got what they wanted: sheepish “repentance†for crimes neither the Catholic Church nor the French government ever committed.
Today, the likes of B-LIAR, Friedman, Wolfowitz, Perl, Cheneybusharielsharon & Co. want Arabs and Moslems to “atone†for sins committed by others! That’s…how shall I say? … err…kind of grotesque to use a polite word!
We should all condemn the tragic events that took place in London yesterday, but Arabs and Moslems shouldn’t forget to put things into perspective: in the past 14 years, British and American pilots flew thousands of illegal “sorties†over Mosul, Baghdad, and Tickrit, bombarding methodically Iraq’s civilian and military infrastructure: hundreds of schools, hospitals, factories were burned.
More than 90% of the country’s water treatment plants and sewage trunk lines were destroyed by Tony Blair and his “brave†Tornado top guns: according to official UN figures, more than 500,000 Iraqi children died of malaria and dysentery as a direct consequence of US and British air strikes cum illegal invasion and occupation of a country that posed no threat to the West (whether “imminent†or otherwise): that’s 10,000 times more than the number of commuters who died in London yesterday…yet these innocent Arab boys and girls got 10,000 times less media coverage in the Times, the Telegraph, the BBC, and other “civilized†news outlets.
You see I’d rather wait for the Brits to do a little introspective atonement first. Then, I would expect them to write blood-lettered excuses on their chest: all of the UK’s T-shirt factories will have to work at full capacity for years before Maryam and other murdered Iraqi baby girls can finally rest in peace.
]]>Even 45-50 mins after the first bomb had gone off the tube lot were still denying anything other than a power failure had occured despite the huge police presence. So people pushed on and tried to get to work causing further overcrowding and major confusion. I was fortunate enough to hear what was going on shortly after the first bus bomb as I was on a bus in Zone one at the time and overheard ont he drivers radio. The amount of emergency services flying round London was quiet astounding (one positive I suppose). My anger that no-one was informed of what was going on so they could make the rational choice to turn round and try to go home rather than push on as if it was rushhour as per norm could have been extremely dangerous had the attacks been more severe. Having busses evacuated while peopel are still trying to push their way on to get to work on time was foolish. People remained calm through their ignorance. The whitewash over tru event coverage has helped to contribute to this.
