APPEASEMENT ROUND-UP

Here’s a selection from Britain; here’s a three-part round-up of surrender-now pieces from the Guardian. Robert Fisk sinks to the occasion with this interesting formulation (for subscribers only):

‘If you bomb our cities,’ Osama bin Laden said in one of his recent video tapes, ‘we will bomb yours.’ There you go, as they say. It was crystal clear Britain would be a target ever since Tony Blair decided to join George Bush’s ‘war on terror’ and his invasion of Iraq. We had, as they say, been warned.

It’s Blair’s fault. But notice one word that does not appear: Afghanistan. That’s a war Fisk also opposed. The solution? Give them what they want. And hope they don’t want more.
