Bush & his Poodle (Blair) bomb innocent people everyday in the Middle East!

Davey's East End interviews were the ONLY interviews I heard on radio/tv yesterday -- especially from corporate tv -- that weren't interviews of, typically, white yuppie or older upscale white Londoners. It was also refeshingly different from the otherwise implicitly racist corporate media commentary about how, implicitly, white Londoners react better in such tradegies than anyone else in the world (well, except for, I'm sure, white-Americans): all those white people actually *help* each other in the midst of such emergencies and, if they can't get public transportation home, they'll actually start "bravely" *walking* home. And, of course, the London victims were all humanized -- we all got to hear little stories about who they were and maybe even what their dreams were in life.
I guess that the innocent people who are bombed or shot *EVERY* DAY in Iraq just leave all their fellow human beings there to die where they fell out in the streets and, otherwise, just sit around waiting until the buses might eventually start runing again to take them home. No, instead, Iraqis and Palestinians pick up their wounded civilians and try to drive them to hospitals while, respectively, Americans and Israelis are *SHOOTING* at them from helicopter gunships and tanks.
The dead, wounded, and still missing Londoners were innocent victims of Tony Blair and George W.
Hopefully, the British will do to Blair what the Spanish did to their former head of state.
Martin Luther King said that, "WHAT GOES AROUND, COMES AROUND."
Chalmers Johnson and Tariq Ali simply called it, "BLOWBACK".
Martin Luther King also said,
"WE HAVE A CHOICE TODAY: NON-VIOLENT CO-EXISTENCE OR VIOLENT CO-ANNIHILATION."
