Welcome aboard, Tim! The UN bombing is a wakeup call to Europe. From "Peaktalk"

What is encouraging though is that many in Europe realize that there is no quick fix in Iraq and that it in the interest of many in the West to pitch in and help rebuild the country. One of the clippings referred to the fact that even the European left is coming to its senses with this great quote from the Dutch NRC Handelsblad:

Even the left-wing parties in Europe are, after a long period of doubt coming to the conclusion that there is a problem if people advocate that a good westerner is a dead one.

The deadly attack on UN headquarters today highlights that the terrorists do indeed not make any distinction between US, UN or UK representatives. The bombing is evidence that if we fail to build up this country and pull out in the face of terror and instability the place may very well destabilize even further and become a breeding ground for terrorism for years to come. We can not flinch, if we do we give Islamist terror their greatest victory on a platter. In a way the attack on the UN underlines the need for all nations that are willing and able to get in and help get Iraq back on its feet again, if there ever is a so-called clash of civilizations then here?s our chance to help avoid and nip Middle Eastern instability in the bud.
