68. It is possible that this is EXACTLY the reaction that whoever was
behind this bombing desired. It could be that they need the people to support the occupation of Iraq again. After all, Bu*h, Blair and their bloody war for oil and empire have been immensely unpopular lately.

"Why of course the people don't want war. Why should some poor slob on
a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of
it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally the common people don't want war neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."
(Hermann Goering, Nuremberg, Germany, April 18, 1946)

Personally, I don't believe for a second that it was "The Secret Organisation Group of al-Qaeda of Jihad Organisation in Europe" (*snarf* - That sounds suspiciously like some name a RWer would come up with and put on a dummy Islamic website)

IMO, the odds are 100 to 1 that the PNAC was behind it. They stand to gain the most by the bombing. They made a claim to world empire, they lied us into a war, they desperately want to continue the war, and this is a way to gain support for it. It worked for them on 9/11, and there is no reason for them to believe, that with this bombing, that it will not work again.

And I agree. The murderous psychopaths behind this bombing are very sick people, serial mass murderers, and need to be arrested, tried, convicted, and removed from society forever. But we need to make sure that we get the people that were/are really behind it.

Otherwise, we might be fooled into believing that some sick old guy in a cave in Pakistan was behind it, and then go out and attack some faraway country that had nothing whatsoever to do with this tragedy.
