Ake - what on earth are you on? I picked up the news a couple of hours ago. Yes, it's horrible in the extreme. Words can't convey.

But what is this link between today's bombs & the Iraq war? At the moment, all the reports indicate that the perpetrators are ETA, Basque separatists, & nothing to do with the Iraqi/ME situation.

I don't like Blair & I'll vote against him in the next GE. It's a bit much to draw a link between him & today's events, however!
