London

As the day of the London bombings was ending, it seemed to me that some wise heads were finding space on the airwaves.
Among the comments:
* Just as in World War II, the people of London are again showing their courage and their steadfastness.
* Fundamentalist Islamist terrorists do not hate our freedoms and our values as Bush says; they hate our presence in places like Iraq and Saudi Arabia.
* Something like 75 times as much money has been spent to protect US air transport as has been spent to protect ground transport.
* Bush makes no sense when he says it is better to fight terrorists in Iraq than at home. He is producing terrorists in Iraq.
* 10% of what is being spent in Iraq would hugely strengthen true security against terrorism at home.
* Why do so few in the US - and especially in the US media - put the spotlight on the massive death that the Bush war/occupation has inflicted on innocent people in Iraq?
