London bombed

LONDON - Four blasts rocked the London subway and tore open a packed double-decker bus during the morning rush hour Thursday, sending bloodied victims fleeing after what a shaken Prime Minister Tony Blair called "barbaric" terrorist attacks. Two U.S. law enforcement officials said at least 40 people were killed and London hospitals reported more than 350 wounded. A senior police official confirmed at least 33 deaths killed in the subway blasts.

This is really horrible.

I just don't know how to be any more clear. Invading and occupying a couple of Muslim nations is not going to prevent this. You simply cannot kill "insurgents" in Iraq and expect that is going to stop terrorists world wide. It won't happen.

The problem is only going to get worse as the terrorists get more sophisticated, and acquire more lethal means of attack.

The neocon vision of Middle Eastern transformation through war has put us all at risk. There are/were other routes to democratization.

Expect the wingers to use this attack to prop up their positions. They clearly are not above using some one else's tragedy for political gain. Can you say Schaivo?
