Blaming Bush

Many of the links on the right margin of this page are to left leaning sites. I link these sites because I read them and I hope you will too, that way you can compare the ideas and opinions from both places and believe what you want.

So I just clicked over to the Huffington Post where Jann Wenner, publisher of Rolling Stone and US magazines, writes the following:

"Amid all the optimism surrounding Blair, Bono & Geldolf doing Live 8 and G 8, and the award of that most wonderful and pacific of international institutions and global brotherhood-the Olympics-what a grim thing to have happened.

Violence rarely gets us anywhere; the PLO, the IRA, the SLA, among others have achieved so little with their terrorism. If the London bombings are the work of an Al Qaeda offshoot, then you have to fairly say, in the same way we condemn other's terror, this is in part the result of Bush's War on Iraq."

There it is. Today's killings in London are 'in part the result of Bush's War on Iraq.'

Wait how can that be?

First, if you place blame at the feet of Bush shouldn't you also place blame at the feet of Tony Blair? You guys on the Left have been calling him Bush's lapdog and now you seek to marginalize Blair even further?

Second, you have been claiming for the better part of three years that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 and Iraq had no relation to al Qaeda.

Since al Qaeda has already taken responsibility for the London attacks this morning-there's no 'If' about it, Jann. Open your eyes. The War On Terror for the foreseeable future IS Iraq.

Those of us on the Right understand this reality, as do the terrorists.

Now about that 'violence rarely gets us anywhere' comment from Wenner.

[Taking a deep breath]

Think of the inherent stupidity of that statement. What about The Civil War? WWI? WWII? Korea? The first Gulf War? Jann Wenner would not be living in freedom, publishing his magazines, making his millions, contributing to Liberal political candidates and writing absurd comments like he did today on HuffPost were it not for war.
