Why the London Bombing? 'State Terrorism is the Cause, Terrorism is the Effect'
By Yamin Zakaria
July 11, 2005

'God didn’t call America to engage in a senseless, unjust war ... We’ve committed more war crimes almost than any nation in the world.' – Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

We live in a world where Anglo-Saxon civilization assumes the right to unleash its military forces on anyone, but expects everyone else to howl “terrorism,” give minutes of silence, and stand shoulder-to-shoulder when they face retaliation! As expected everyone is howling and describing it as barbaric, an act of terrorism and an attack on humanity because the bombs were detonated in London and not in Baghdad or Kabul!

Fifty-four people killed at a wedding party in Iraq and many similar incidences throughout Afghanistan committed by trigger-happy U.S. pilots and soldiers should have elicited the same response.

The U.S. couldn’t identify a wedding party of men, women and children despite the most sophisticated equipment and training. So, they are either trained monkeys short of brain cells, they were high on alcohol and drugs prior to engaging in their combat missions, or they are terrorists that deliberately killed civilians. The latter is more likely, given that they have been following a policy of shoot first and ask questions later, so they bomb civilians from a high altitude, then apologize for their “mistake.” That gets packaged by media-terrorists as “collateral damage,” just a small price to pay in “the war on terror.”
