FP: The Left, of course, will be celebrating this attack. Earlier you mentioned George Galloway. He has even called for an alliance between the Left and radical Islam. The likes of Galloway and Michael Moore and Noam Chomsky – all of them will clearly be rubbing their hands in glee because of this attack in London, and, of course, instead of denouncing the terrorists who have taken innocent life, they will be blaming everything on Bush and Blair. This is clearly a pathology like no other. What is your diagnosis of this mordid psychology that permeates the Left?
Radu: The Left will claim that London was targeted because of Iraq. Galloway aside - he is far more sinister - the others are so alienated from their own society and culture that they have built a conceptual prison of their own, from which they cannot escape. What will happen in The Guardian, Independent, perhaps The New York Times, will be a repetition of the same futile search for "root causes" - Palestinians, Iraq, dictatorships in the Muslim world "supported" by the US, etc. No attack anywhere will change that - they seek to fit the square peg of Islamist religious radicalism into the circle of political differences - and fail into irrelevance even further.

Bump!
No more catch and release programs. There should be no warehousing for captured rats. Only extermination.
These perverted killers never face armed adversaries; they only kill innocents.
For English press one.
What is to be done? Well, some hand-wringing by the masses; some detective work, and a bit of criminal justice. That's what's in the cards.
One of the unspoken aims of the American Left.
". . . the others are so alienated from their own society and culture that they have built a conceptual prison of their own, from which they cannot escape."
A perfect description of the American Left and most of the Democratic party.
As for the French, while I share most Americans' disdain for them, I have always suspected that beneath their faux polished air of sophistication there lies a no-holds-barred-when-we're-pissed approach. Look into how they handled the assassination attempts on Charles de Gaulle during the Algerian war. I expect to see further "assimilate or split" tactics, with militant muslims treated with the iron glove. And Allah help them if Europe ever investigates a Final Solution to the Islamic Problem.
When threatened, even a rat will do what is necessary to survive.
