Good to see Teflon Tony and his cohorts, (especially Peter Hain - an ex-terrorist himself, who had to flee from South Africa), once the loudest howlers against Article 29 in South Africa, which allowed the police to detain terrorist suspects for 120 days without charge; now howling equally as loud to introduce the same Article 29 into the UK.
Perhaps I'm missing something here, but what's the difference between the ANC who mined bus roads and killed, mutilated and abducted innocent schoolchildren, and a few Muslims, who are maybe getting more and more pissed off with Britain and America's illegal killing of innocent people in Iraq?
No, I'm not justifying the London bombs, murdering innocent people is not on, but let's be a bit objective about this.
We see the victims, the Press and everyone and his pet rabbit on the TV, mouthing about how terrible it is when people can't travel in safety to work on Public Transport. I absolutely agree. I've travelled on those tube trains many times.
Having said that, what is the difference between living in fear of travelling on the London underground and the fear experienced by an innocent Iraqi family, when their door is kicked down whilst they are sleeping and a bunch of armed thugs, dressed as soldiers burst in with guns, force them to the ground, fondle their women, steal their valuables and then either shoot them or drag them off to a torture camp?
How terrible it is when innocent people can't sleep in their own homes at night in saftey, AND add to that the "win hearts and minds" techniques of the US Forces, who drop bombs on them at the same time and poison their children with depleted uranium.
Teflon Tony saya there were terrorists BEFORE 911, but he doesn't mention how the Israeilis have been killing and bulldozing Palestine back to the stoneage, since years before 911.
Teflon Tony says there were terrorists BEFORE 911, but he doesn't mention that in 1998 and thereafter, EVERY DAY, British and US planes made bombing runs into Iraq and shot and bombed children, pensioners, villages, adults and even the bloody goats! They sent Serbia, Afghanistan and Iraq back into the stoneage, and I'll bet any money on earth that Blair and Bush have already made a pact to do the same to Iran.
The only question is when they are going to do it and who is going to commit the "atrocity" that will give them the excuse to do it. Will it be Mossad, CIA or MI6, maybe all three jointly. Do you really believe that Blair actually gives a shit about innocent people being killed if it furthers his own goals and ambitions?
