now it's our turn

on top of common sense, brute facts, cia analysis,
and the saudi and israeli studies discussed below
the royal institute of international affairs [riia]
also known as chatham house
has just issued a report
suggesting the allied invasion of iraq
was increasing the likelihood of terrorist attacks.

the governments of the "coalition of the willing"
have all been called upon to respond.

they all continue to lie
in claiming that their iraq expedition
has done nothing to increase the chances of domestic terrorism

Prime Minister Tony Blair ... has insisted that the July 7 attacks on public transport, in which 55 people were killed and more than 700 injured, had nothing to do with the war in Iraq.

"The United States had done nothing [to make it a target for terrorism] on September 11th when 3,000 people were killed." said rumsfeld

a wall street journal poll of muslim opinion
suggested widespread rage at
"US support for vicious Israeli repression of Palestinians
and robbery of their resources,
and the murderous US-UK sanctions
that were devastating the civilian society of Iraq"

and of course these issues are just the tip of the iceberg
as far as reasons for arabs to be angry at the "allied" crusades

the arguments from the elected officials are clearly specious

"Australia was a terrorist target well before the Iraq operation," Mr Howard told reporters. "We were a terrorist target before the 11th of September 2001."

like that somehow argues that we are now no more of a target

he is basically challenging them to kill us

i won't be surprised when bombs go off in sydney or melbourne
and nor will john howard

the question now is not whether australia is a terrorist target
but when and where the attack will occur
