Blair's Alliance with Bush Bombed
I've often thought about that and felt disgusted with the terms used for our own bombing as opposed to others' terroristic activities. Supposedly, ours isn't terrorism. I can't see a difference.
Blair's Alliance with Bush Bombed
It is easy for Blair to call yesterday's bombings "barbaric"' -- they were -- but what were the civilian deaths of the Anglo American invasion of Iraq in 2003, the children torn apart by cluster bombs, the innocent Iraqis gunned down at American military checkpoints. When they die, it is "collateral damage"; when "we" die it is "barbaric terrorism."
