Well, I try to be realistic. Realistically, most of the world was onside with Afghanistan, but the UK was the only major power onside with Iraq. That made us a target just like it made the Spanish targets. We understand that. This isn't the sort of war where there is a front and civilians are in a nice safe rear area. We knew this could happen when we signed up, we signed up anyway and aren't walking away.
Are you not now ascribing rational political motives to these murderers?
It is NOT........I repeat it is NOT because you are allies in Iraq that you were attacked.
It is not "realistic" to say that Iraq was the reason, because there is no reason besides their evil desire to destroy life.
But I'm sure that the terrorists are just fine with anyone in your country who claims that fighting terror is the reason that innocent people were killed today.
Fortunately, your PM is a man of courage who won't fall for the leftist tripe that Iraq is the cause of this tragedy, and back off his resolve to fight terror wherever it exists because people erroneously lay the blame for this on Iraq.
