London Car Bombing

I think I've figured out the timing of the car bombs in London. The new PM Brown was widely thought to be a lot softer on terror than Blair and this act was to test his response. He didn't disappoint. (BTW, notice how differently Moslem terrorists are treated as compared to IRA terrorists. I never noticed that the media went to IRA leaders for comments.)

The stern Scot's few public statements have been somber, measured and brief. Many Britons welcome the change, saying the lower-key approach may better reassure a rattled nation and prevent racial tensions from exploding.

On Tuesday, the head of the Muslim Council of Britain, Muhammad Abdul Bari, lauded Brown and Home Secretary Jacqui Smith for the "calm and reassuring tone of their responses to the recent attacks. Jill Lawless AP

Nobody was killed this time, I believe intentionally, but now that the ground rules have been set, the games will begin. Brits and Scots will either rise up and say enough (unlikely) or they will see their culture co-opted by that of Islam.

Our newly elected president in 2008 may well be tested similarly. Will the Dems have demonized Bush sufficiently to cause one of them to be elected? If so, our fate won't be different and we'll slouch toward sharia or we'll be fighting them on the homeland. A fate the president has avoided by his policy of taking the battle to the enemy.

Think about that all you Bush haters.

In any case, this is what we need to worry about. Not China, nor Russia, nor Venezuela nor Mexican immigrants. Those are all diversions to keep us from keeping our eye on the main target.
