Stand Firm

STAND FIRM

 

THE Not In My Name brigade are already blaming yesterday’s Baghdad bombings on the Americans — and by association, the British.

 

Let’s get one thing straight. The only people responsible are the people who did it.

 

They don’t care who they kill — Red Cross, UN, women, children. It’s all the same to them.

 

Whether the bombers are al-Qa’ida or the rump of Saddam’s gangsters is irrelevant.

 

If they weren’t attacking Western targets, they’d be stuffing Iraqis into tree shredders, poisoning Kurds, murdering Israelis or slaughtering fellow Muslims for the fun of it.

 

But their terror tactics are having a worrying effect on public opinion in Britain and in America, where I spent last week.

 

The cause in Britain hasn’t been helped by Blair’s habit of lying even when he’s in the right, or by the hounding to death of Dr Kelly.

 

But in the US, support for the war is also slipping as opportunist Democractic presidential wannabes pile in to President Bush.

 

This is exactly what the enemies of freedom and democracy want. They depend on fickle public opinion and fear in the West.

 

It needs to be restated again and again. The war on terror and tyranny isn’t an arcade game. It may last decades. It may never be over. But that’s no reason not to fight it.

 

The current wave of terrorism in Baghdad doesn’t prove that Blair and Bush were wrong.

 

It proves they were right.

Very Short Sighted - It proves they were right, because if we didn't go to war I guess this would of happened anyway!

War breeds hate and revenge!
