Bombs

In case anyone's still wondering why there's a war on terror, 3 bombs have gone off in Istanbul just now including at the British consulate and the HQ of HSBC. No doubt more details to come but it amazes me there are still so many protesting about George W. and Tony Blair when things like this are still happening in the world. There's a friggin' war on, people. And these enemies aren't worried about Geneva Conventions and morality (courtesy of Gweilo Diaries). George, Tony and co. are standing up for people's rights to protest about what they are doing. The vitriol gets extreme but that there is vitriol at all is a testament to democracy at work.

And democracy doesn't protect itself by being passive.
