Keith, if you don't want anybody to blow your kids up perhaps you should stop supporting that which might make people want to blow your kids up. You seem to be indignant that after the UK military has blown up children in Arabia, Arabs might want to blow up children in the UK. I'm not taking sides, but the number of deaths caused by UK/USA forces are far in excess of those caused by the arabs.

This is the politics of fear and jingoism created about 'democracy' (patriotic jingoism doesn't have quite the effect these days) which supposedly means that all is as fair as can be. The purpose of which is to keep the working class (on both sides) down. It's effect is that people are taken in by the logic of taking democratic rights away in order to 'save democracy'. It's madness.
