Innocent people killed in London, and it is a terrible, terrible thing to attack people who only happen to live in the wrong place at the wrong time. I hope all of you will remember, even as you commiserate with Londoners after this terrorist attack, that tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis have also paid the ultimate price for having committed no sin but being born in the wrong place at the wrong time. The killing of innocent, non-combatants is wrong, period, whether carried out by rogue terrorist groups or governments in the name of anti-terrorism.
That's something that George W. Bush will never understand, and that is why his words from Edinburgh today after the London attack are so offensive and hollow. His sociopathic view of reality prevents him from seeing the awful irony of his declarations, and that is a great danger to us all in this world.
