Are we not to blame for bombs?

While listening to reports on the newscasts of the mayhem caused by the cars used in the bombing attempts, I was amazed by the reporters being so naive as to the cause.

While listening to reports on the newscasts of the mayhem caused by the cars used in the bombing attempts, I was amazed by the reporters being so naive as to the cause.

For are not we, the electors, partly to blame for this type of event?

The people in power have smashed to rubble an ancient culture and expect to get away with it.

To be fair some MPs were against the war in Iraq from day one and I bet others are coming to the same view. We in our so-called democracy can never be totally innocent of the actions of Government.

This is why we are all targets for the people who have been seriously and unnecessarily wounded.

Did Tony Blair think that when the missiles and bombs and bullets died down it was all over? I fear it was only the start. He is now swanning around the world as some sort of saint.

We are all picking up the tab now.
