The Brits at a Crossroad

It's time for the so called "war on terror" to be reconsidered. It's time for the British government and people to leave the sinking ship of bush and his administration.

Let's be pragmatic and accept the fact that no security arrangements can stop major attacks, unless they were accompanied by the right political arrangements.

If this was an attack by the elected British government on Iraq, it would have been called a "surgical attack" with "minimum civilian casualties". Didn't the first three weeks of the occupation war have such lables while thousands of Iraqis were being killed and injured?

So how come when London, not Baghdad, is under attack we watch blair's dry lips stuttering and bush's little eyes blinking while preaching to us about the value of human life? and about the evil terrorists who interrupted the G8 where the civilized world leaders were trying to protect the environment and support the poor...

What a bunch of crap...

Attacks against civilians and infrastructure are condemned wherever they occur, but they're more condemned when held by elected governments not underground radical groups.

The British government and people are at a cross-roads:

Either believe in the bushit of "evil terrorist who hate freedom": get stuck in the reactionary and violent cycle of US foreign policy, then attack and occupy more countries and wait for another 5 years to see whether more attacks will target your cities or not.

Or believe in Zapatero's pragmatic and rational solution (like the Italian government's decision today): fix the mess you caused in our part of the world and pull out your troops from Iraq and Afghanistan, apologize for the illegal wars that caused the death of hundreds of thousands of people and bring the war criminals to justice, and pay compensation to Iraq and Iraqis.
