A Taste Of Honey


Bush and Blair, the Pooh and Piglet of today's fairy tale, have been selling us on the Honeypot Theory -- i.e., "we're fighting them over there, so we don't have to fight them here." Now, we come to find out that new hives are spontaneously springing up all over the Hundred Acre Wood:

One of the men accused of taking part in the failed terror attacks in London on 21 July has claimed the bomb plot was directly inspired by Britain's involvement in the Iraq war.

In a remarkable insight into the motives behind the alleged would-be bombers, Hussain Osman, arrested in Rome on Friday, has revealed how the suspects watched hours of TV footage showing grief-stricken Iraqi widows and children alongside images of civilians killed in the conflict. He is alleged to have told prosecutors that after watching the footage: 'There was a feeling of hatred and a conviction that it was necessary to give a signal - to do something.'

Smart work, fellas. Maybe you should have pitched this simpleminded plotline to Disney, instead of to the American and British voters.
