I think this is just the leakage from the slow realization that things are not better. That there is still danger in the world. It is fear being directed as anger. The right hates the left because the left keep bringing reality into the Rosy Bush picture.
Everyone wants to believe that the war in Iraq will have a positive effect, that the dying and suffering was not a mistake and our boys are not dying bravely for the wrong reasons.
The mantra has always been, better to attack them there so they do not attack us here. However this is holding less water after Madrid and perhaps if Al qaida is responsible for this attack today in Britain, the consensus will be the next attack will be here in the US again.
Spain was the third largest presence in Iraq. After the attack they vowed to pull out and their president lost power.
Blair is now in danger of losing power also and may soon be under pressure to pull troops out also.
This will leave the US in a bad way in Iraq.
