"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword... ...It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry... ...Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so... How do I know? For this is what I have done... ...And I am Caesar." -- Julius Caesar

Bout as popular as the bombers themselves. I can understand why. Anyone with half a brain on their shoulders in Great Britain knows that the main reason they were attacked last Thursday was because Bush and his lapdog Blair decided to got on a killing spree for oil two years ago. Does anyone remember a time before arab terrorist attacks in Western countries? I sure do. That was before 1991 when we started sticking our big fat noses into their business for their oil and started killing arabs. Does anyone remember the clasic horror film "The Shinning"? It had a hidden underlying theme that symbolized the killing of millions of Native Americans by the white man. Even the name of the hotel "The Overlook" was part of the hidden theme (we so easily overlook how we brutalized the American Indians). Well, the same is true of the Gulf War in 1991. We Overlook the fact that we killed 100,000s of innocent Iraqis in that war, and up to a million more with sanctions in the years that followed. Well, that's a whole lot of reasons for terrorists to be angry at us and want to attack us, we just stirred up the hornets nest by going back there and killing more. We're all being manipulated by the wealthy elites who own the arms and oil industries. This war with the arab world has been engineered to feed these two industries. Amazing what they get away with under our noses.
