Those are dismal numbers indeed.

But do you believe that the majority of people in the UK will associate this attack with the British involvement in Iraq?

Do they lack the basic understanding........given your history of being the victims of terrorist attacks...... that terrorism is NOT the result of reasoned people with clear motives.

Terrorists kill because they want to kill. I would think the Brits would understand that, in spite of how hard the media tries to spin it.

Well, remember, we're used to terrorists who do have reasoned motives and a coherent political agenda. We eventually persuaded the IRA to stop blowing us up with a combination of very precisely targetted police/spook work and a political compromise. It's far from clear how you'd do that with the presumable perpetrators of these bombs though.
