London

I didn't post anything here yesterday about the tragedy in London, because I just didn't know what to say. Of course I feel terrible for the victims and their families and the agony they are suffering. I hate it that there are people in the world who could do such a thing. It should never have happened, and it should never happen again. But it will, and George W. Bush is, in large part, to blame.

I think about the fact that the innocent people in Iraq suffer terrorist acts on a daily basis. When dozens of people are killed at the funeral of another victim of a terrorist attack or assassination does the world "recoil in horror" in the same way? Why not? What's the difference?

Instead of spending an hour showing us grisly videos of the scene and intruding upon the suffering of the survivors, all the while playing sappy violin music in the background, the networks should devote their time to covering the heart of the problem and asking tough questions of the administration.
