You have to acknowledge the fact that for the first time ever, a member of
the so called G8 has come out and admitted "we made a mistake" there is more
to terrorism than the west understand. Instead of marshalling up his troops
to invade yet another country, he actually s listening to his people.
And terrorism is in the eye of the beholder.

What is this type of chicken-and-egg speech made by BLAIR!
What are the underlying causes of terrorism? And why is he scared stiff
calling a spade and spade? Indeed, one major cause of global terrorism
is our refusal to desist from having recourse to veiled lingo. Double
speak begets animosity.
