As an American in london who witnessed the hysteria around the bombings that happened today I remember the anger we americans felt when 9-11 happened and the scenes happening on every channel are pissing everyone off to the point that they will demand something be done in response.
First of all there is no way that the English people would be dumb enough to let their government lie them into some totally unrelated conflict in a totally unrelated country where a bunch of the prime minister's buddies happen to make billions off the deal. (See the deal inked yesterday between Haliburton and US military worth 5 billion..one is a series of similar deals)
4 years after 9-11 al quaida is stronger than ever. We havent gotten the guys that did the deed. But the gov parlayed the fear that the event caused into making lots of folks many billions.
Shit pisses me off..
Will be interesting the difference in the English administration's response....if it can withstand the lure of the massive potential for financial gain that has become available to them throiugh now. They've seen america do it..and do it well...make money from fear that is...while totally ignoring and actually fueling the fire of the real problem.
The hard won sheep mentality that the US conservatives have spent years cultivating with the american media dosent exist in england so pulling the wool over the eyes of the Brits would be tough.
My guess is they will do a better job...might even get the guys... and use 1/10000 the resources we are using in iraq to do it.
