Another suicide bombing in Afghanistan: the one on 18 January 2010

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/19/world/asia/19afghan.html

What just happened in Kabul shows the utter futility of waging a "war" on terrorism. Such a "war" can only be a metaphor, and you cannot bomb a metaphor.

You can only deal with terrorists by dealing with their grievances, which you previously thought you could ignore with impunity.

Was there that much justice in British foreign policy in the invasion of "Afraq"?

80% of the Muslims in the world wish the US and UK harm.

Could it be time to acknowledge the error of our ways and resolve to do better in future?

No justice, no peace?

The presence of our troops and the troops of other countries in Afghanistan are contributing to this behaviour.

We have no right to be there, our politicians know that yet do nothing.

What a disgraceful leadership we have.
