Explodin!

First, I'd like to say the usual sorry feelings for the bombings in London. It's shitty, terrible stuff and these people don't deserve this tragedy. I want those sons of bitches who committed this act to pay. But I'd also like to say that this is nothing new. Over the last two years we hear about this stuff everyday. Only the country in reference is usually Iraq. Every day this happens down there and we shrug it off and go, "too bad." Well, no, not just too bad. This shouldn't happen there, or here or anywhere. But that's the big problem, this keeps happening. And it's been happening a whole lot more since this unjustified and unprovoked war began. This has happened because people lost focus, people in high places whose only duty was to simple protect us. They screwed up, they dropped the ball on this. They changed the target after a few short months of Afghanistan. They targeted Iraq and they created a terror playground. And it has done nothing to stem the flow of terror or put Al-Queda out of commission. They have increased hatred for the US and UK by their actions. They purport to be fighting terror there, yet they merely stoked the flames of hatred. This attack in London exposes, not that "we need to fight them over there," but that we have not done enough to fight them here. Terror has gone up, not done since 9/11. We have done everything wrong. We did not find Bin Laden. And the saddest thing of the London bombing is that Bush and company will use this to bolster their position in Iraq. To them this will only justify what they do, when in fact it underscored how royally they have failed. Bush, Blair, you have failed to protect your people. We wanted Bin Laden taken down. We were scared, we wanted hope. And you went after the wrong target. And you told us, over there will make us safe. Well, it clearly hasn't. Today we know that these last few years have definitely moved in the wrong direction.
Even if you don't believe in it, pray for those in London and curse the motherfuckers who brought this on. Maybe we need a war on terror, but maybe it's time to attack the right people.
