AP reports: “Prime Minister Tony Blair said Tuesday that Britain would not “give one inch” to terrorists on his policy on Iraq and the Middle East, while police said two suspects in last week’s failed bombings were emigrants from Somalia and Eritrea.
“London is being tested but standing firm,” he said.
Asked whether the British-backed and U.S.-led invasion of Iraq had fueled terrorist attacks around the world and in London, Blair said “there was no excuse or justification” for their actions of the bombers.
“Whatever excuse or justification these people use, I do not believe we should give one inch to them, not in this country and the way we live our lives here, not in Iraq, not in Afghanistan, not in our support for two states, Israel and Palestine, not in our support for the alliances we choose including with America. Not one inch should we give to these people,” Blair said.
“Sept. 11 for me was a wake-up call,” he said. “Do you know what I think the problem is? A lot of the world woke up for a short time and then turned over and went back to sleep again.”
Right-o. Wake up, people.
