There are some contributors here who are assuming [with some justification, unfortunately] that many people have come to accept the oft-repeated lie as in fact, truth; that the invasion of Iraq was a necessary action in the "war on terrorism". It was a lie then, it is a lie now. That there is al Quaida involvement in Iraq is undeniable now; that there was al Quaida invlovemnet in Iraq prior to the attack was a lie then, and is is still a lie. The fact of alQuaida operating there NOW was forecast by almost every thinking person who did not blindly support the Bush-Blair folly. The dread box has been opened; there will be many more bloody incidents ere it even looks like closing. And blame for the suffering of thousands of innocents can be shared by BOTH sides.
Bush Blair bin Laden and all the subsidiary parasites---it would be a wonderful thing to be able to bring a plague on all their houses. We have little power; we can only wish.
