632Ce 8 juillet, The Spectator de Londres, l'hebdomadaire de la droite du parti conservateur, met en ligne un éditorial sur les événements tragiques de Londres.
« Yesterday's disgusting attack on London will naturally be seized upon by politicians of all hues to advance their various agendas. Opponents of the war in Iraq have lost no time in blaming Tony Blair and British engagement for the bombs that hit London and killed dozen and injured many hundreds. They have a point. As the Butler report revealed, the Government was explicitly warned before the Iraq war that our involvement would exacerbate the risk of terrorism in this country. But that does not for one moment mean that if Britain had not been involved in Iraq, then London would have been safe. It bears repeating that more British people died in the attacks on the World Trade Centre than in yesterday's brutal outrages, and it must never be forgotten that 9/11 preceded the war in Iraq and the war in Afghanistan, as did the series of vicious Islamicist bombings in Paris in the 1990s... »
C’est une autre sorte d’arguments que ceux qu’on entend en général autour de ces attentats. Mais The Spectator ouvre la boîte de Pandore : pourquoi s’arrêter aux années 1990, pourquoi ne pas remonter au-delà, et au-delà dans l’Histoire, puisque tout se tient. Sans doute aurions-nous des surprises.
