Uncle Osama wants YOU...!

oh, ouch...! this is really painful to read but it's not like we didn't know it anyway...

Hussain Osman, one of the men alleged to have participated in London's failed bombings on July 21, recently told Italian investigators that they prepared for the attacks by watching "films on the war in Iraq," La Repubblica reported. "Especially those where women and children were being killed and exterminated by British and American soldiers ... of widows, mothers and daughters that cry."

It has become an article of faith that Britain was vulnerable to terror because of its politically correct antiracism. Yet Osman's comments suggest that what propelled at least some of the bombers was rage at what they saw as extreme racism. And what else can we call the belief -- so prevalent we barely notice it -- that American and European lives are worth more than the lives of Arabs and Muslims, so much more that their deaths in Iraq are not even counted?

yes, i knew that iraqi deaths were not even being counted but, omg, how horrible to see it in this context in black and white... why...? why...? why...? why...? this simply should not be happening... meanwhile, george rides his bike and takes a nap...
