    New York, London, Baghdad

    I've been thinking a bit more about this London bombing thing and I think Astrogoy made a pretty good point - bombs are bombs and they all kill people. I'm not going to check the stats, but I'd be surprised if more people weren't killed by suicide bombers, snipers etc. in Iraq every week than were killed in London. I'm getting fairly tired of the 'Blitz Spirit', too. (And before you get all sanctimonious on me, my mother grew up in London during WWII. She was standing at the rear door of her house when a V2 rocket hit outside the front door. She hit the garden fence on the full and still said that the belting she got from Pop for not getting into the bomb shelter in time hurt more.)
    And yes, I do know that 20% of all dwellings in England were damaged by bombs. I also know that a greater tonnage of bombs was dropped on Dresden in one night than was dropped on Britain over the duration of the entire war, also the ratio of High Explosive to Incendiary bombs was pretty much reversed so that instead of just lighting marker fires the incendiaries were supposed to consume all the oxygen in the atmosphere; suffocating anybody who didn't cop a direct hit. In a town with absolutely no strategic significance (the only railway line wasn't even targeted). This kind of carpet bombing was carried out all over Germany (albeit not firebombing). Check out the footage of the Allies entering Berlin and compare it to London, then tell me that the pom civilians had more to be stoic about than the German populace. The losers do it tough too, guys.
    Meanwhile in Baghdad, Kabul etc., people are dieing every day. A lot of right wing bloggers piss and moan about the bias of the media when it comes to Iraq and to a lesser extent Afghanistan. A lot of these bloggers posted lengthy and sometimes quite emotional articles about London. The Currency Lad even used Dickens's Tale of Two Cities in what would have to come close to being the most cloying overblown post I've read this year. All of this kind of puts the lie to the rhetoric about freeing the oppressed people of Iraq/Afghanistan/next bunch of uppity camel fuckers. Don't the dead of Baghdad have loved ones? Or is it that they just don't matter?
    Quite a lot of these RWDB types speak about a 'War on Islam' which is fine, as far as it goes; I'm all for honesty. But at least be honest about why you want a War on Islam. It isn't because Islam is evil or that its adherents are, by and large, any worse than non-adherents. It's because they treat you as you treat them - as inferiors.
    You want to know what the answer to all this bullshit is?
    Then you should go read something else, you won't find it here.
