Perhaps, Keith, you don't have that much affinity, religious or otherwise, with any of those scores of thousands - in fact hundreds of thousands - of innocent Iraqis who died as a result of the Bush-Blair adventure.

For my own part I would probably not have the guts to respond with violence even if relatives of mine were caught up in the collateral. But that's not the point. It should be obvious to anyone that such a monstrous crime would provoke at least a few people to violence. And you are in Cloud Cuckoo land if you think the present level of terrorist threat is unrelated to US and UK interference in Iraq and Afghanistan.
