Looks like MI5 have stopped another terror attack, and if the BBC has got the right details (as of 9am) it looks like a grand total of ten (TEN!) planes were in danger. For some reason, this is spurring me into a rant. I can grasp/understand us being in Afganistan, even if British soldiers are outnumbered and under-equipped for the task (and as such dying, possibly needlessly, due to overstretch); as the Taliban were major sponsors of terrorism, kept Bin laden safe, and were growing opium out of their eyeballs. (Out of interest, what is the stance of Sharia law on class A drugs??) But Iraq? We should never have been there. (I've always said so). There were never any weapons so I don't understand the reasons behind the invasion - and anyone can surely see that it is simply a running sore that is inflaming Arab and Muslim opinion against the West. The only justification was that Saddam was "bad", a pointless arguement as no-one can convince me that more people were dying daily under his regime than are dying daily now. He was bad - and mad - but he kept a secular lid on things and that's what Realpolitik is all about. Less of the white hat, black hat crap. And as a direct result of Iraq (and our slavish toeing of the US line over the Israeli/Lebanon crisis), we might as well paint a great big target on every British Airways flight and London landmark.
Ooooh, I'm furious.

Word.
But not only that the inequality and increasing radicalism of muslims in our own country is creating a nice crop of psychotic brain washed young muslim men ready to kill their own countrymen. Anyone see what muslims want the other day on tv? Was interesting hearing some of the opinions of mainly moderate normal muslims. We're different, and the nation has to do more to integrate. But as Jimmy Jacko sagely put it we also need to sort out foreign policy to take away that source of anger and hatred, to not only defend ourselves but stop all the death over there...Iraq is fucked now hey..which you could argue is how it always was cos these different clans (for want of a better word) have hated each other from year dot anyway...and sadamn did indeed "keep a secular lid on it" Ref: James Jackson 2006.
