The Culprits & the Victims in the London Bombings

The vultures of intervention in Afghanistan & Iraq have now come home to roost. As usual, the innocent pay. Politicians undertook these adventures for purely political reasons -- to secure political support:- political ‘loyalty’& ‘unity’ are greatest in wartime. And it is in wartime that politicians & govt officials gain even more power over innocent subjects; -- this time the figleaf is, ‘fighting terror’. Our democratically-elected despots deliberately stirred up a hornets’ nest; this is the horrific outcome. It will be made the occasion for even greater expansions of power. Necessity is the plea of the tyrant. And it is always the innocent who suffer.
