Why can't our government be so sensible?
Jan. 25th, 2007 09:48 pmThe best article I've read in ages, and it's (of course) from The Guardian:
An excerpt:
"He said: "London is not a battlefield. Those innocents who were murdered on July 7 2005 were not victims of war. And the men who killed them were not, as in their vanity they claimed on their ludicrous videos, 'soldiers'. They were deluded, narcissistic inadequates. They were criminals. They were fantasists. We need to be very clear about this. On the streets of London, there is no such thing as a 'war on terror', just as there can be no such thing as a 'war on drugs'.
"The fight against terrorism on the streets of Britain is not a war. It is the prevention of crime, the enforcement of our laws and the winning of justice for those damaged by their infringement.""
Bravo.
In other news, I think my hubby is depressed. Which is depressing the hell out of me.
