Have Bush and Blair increased terrorism?
The statement issued by the Islamic terror organization Secret Organisation Group of al-Qaeda claiming it carried out today’s bombings in Central London is chilling reading and very ominous for the future here in England and elsewhere. I was against the war as were millions of other people. The military action against Afghanistan and Iraq is clearly mentioned in the statement. The bombing of Iraq and Afghanistan was an act of bullying of the highest order, despite having reservations of any attacks on Iraq, the UN were pushed aside by the real tyrant Bush and his poodle Blair and they both misled other leaders with a concoction of poisonous lies and spin in order to lead an unjust and heinous attack on the Iraqi people, I say Iraqi people because Saddaam unlike the people of Iraq is tucked up nice and cosy at a secret location somewhere, where he is being pampered with regular meals, new clean clothes, a nice warm bed, and he even receives free regular dental treatment something even the British tax payers don’t enjoy.
More than 100,000 civilians have probably died as direct or indirect consequences of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, according to a study by a research team at Johns Hopkins University's Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore. Although the paper's authors acknowledge that thorough data collection was difficult in what is effectively still a war zone, the data they managed to collect are extensive: Iraqis were 2.5 times more likely to die in the 17 months following the invasion than in the 14 months before it. Before the invasion, the most common causes of death in Iraq were heart attacks, strokes and chronic diseases. Afterward, violent death was far ahead of all other causes.
The abuse the prisoners faced in the Abu Gharib prison which was photographed with US and British soldiers abusing inmates and torturing them was always going to create some sort of revenge... now we know.
Britain played a huge part in these attacks. The prisoners in those pictures were helpless, but someone somewhere was always going to retaliate on their behalf. Surely we cannot be surprised at what happened today and act all innocent.
Blair first gave the excuse he was after the weapons of mass destruction and that turned out to be a lie. Then he went for regime change, yes Saddaam was a dictator but there are hundreds of dictators all over the world why not go after them?
The truth is hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, amongst them many women and young children; surely we were going to pay for that!
Far from trying to combat terrorism have Bush and Blair increased the likelihood of terror attacks by their actions?
