Just to riff on this idea further, I don't personally believe that these bombings were perpetrated by Bush & Co. But they might as well have been. Assuming for the moment that the bombings were carried out by Al-Quaida fanatics, what is their motive? It's to scream, loudly, at the start of the G8 conference, "Don't talk about global warming and world poverty and how to solve those problems...talk about US. WE, and our cause, are what's important here!!!" IMO, the real tragedy of this tragedy is that whoever did it *could* effectively have been working for Bush & Co. They've managed (so far) to derail a series of talks that were supposed to be about the *real* pres- sing problems of our time (energy, global warming, and world poverty) and turn them into a forum for glib one- liners about terrorism, the boogie man of our times. What could have been a grand leap forward, especially with the pressure placed upon the G8 by the Live 8 phenomenon, looks now as if it's going to be a grand leap backwards into rhetoric about fear and revenge and "fighting terrorism." Terrorism is a distraction, folks. It's the misdir- ection of a stage magician who wants you to focus on it instead of what's really happening, and on what he has up his sleeve. The London terrorists and the old rich men who make up Bush & Co. are NOT enemies. They are PARTNERS. They NEED each other, and work together to keep people focused on fighting terrorism instead of focusing on having a viable environment to leave to our children, or on those children having something to eat. Did the London terrorists report directly to George W. Bush? Probably not. But they're certainly on the same "side" as he is.
