Is it just me, or if Pakistan sent three helicopters into UK airspace, without telling us, and assassinated Tony Blair someone without trial, wouldn't we call it terrorism? To be fair he has arguably killed more people than Osama ever managed to. And is (arguably) a war criminal.
Is it fair to say that the US action was against international law? Isn't it also reasonable to expect someone who is accused to be given a fair trial and due process? No coverage of this angle on the BBC, or any other mainstream media as far as I can see. Don't know why I expect anything else. Osama 'refused to surrender' but the US haven't said he was armed...
The problem with Americans is the rules only apply when it suits them, and they seem to actually believe that the world is like a Hollywood film, with only goodies or baddies, no shades of grey, you're either with us or against us. Which means as Londoners we are all in more danger today than we were yesterday. Thanks Yanks!
This is the quote that comes to mind for me tonight:
