Under his and Blair’s lead­er­ship the eco­nomy tanks. What does he do? Blatantly tries to divert atten­tion by scream­ing “War on Ter­ror.” Little more than a pro­pa­ganda tool to take away the freedoms of the people of Britain.

“The cent­ral fact is that over­whelm­ingly suicide-terrorist attacks are not driven by reli­gion as much as they are by a clear stra­tegic object­ive: to com­pel mod­ern demo­cra­cies to with­draw mil­it­ary forces from the ter­rit­ory that the ter­ror­ists view as their home­land. From Lebanon to Sri Lanka to Chechnya to Kash­mir to the West Bank, every major suicide-terrorist cam­paign — over 95 per­cent of all the incid­ents — has had as its cent­ral object­ive to com­pel a demo­cratic state to withdraw.”

Accord­ing to Jack Straw, in response to George Galloway’s quite reas­on­able point that the cow­ardly attacks on Afgh­anistan and Iraq increased the threat of ter­ror­ist attack in Bri­tain, “People have to remem­ber that 11 Septem­ber was in 2001 before the mil­it­ary action.” This cheap little chunk of self-deluded spin is an attempt to weave the story that the Septem­ber 11 attacks came out of the blue.
