Bush To Be Responsible for Human Extinction
From Independent News via the Drudge Report:
Saddam Hussein paid money to the families of suicide bombers. Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda plotted and executed the largest terrorist attack on any country since the begining of history. All over the globe there are rogue countries and terrorist groups devoting themselves to the defeat of democracy.
But none of that matters to Mr. Livingstone. He doesn't care that President Bush has devoted so many resources to keeping the entire world safe. What would he have us do, leave the middle east alone and watch as the events of 9/11 happen again and again all over the world?
What he doesn't realize is that something has to be done. Its not a problem that can be handled passively.
While President Bush's methods may not be perfect it should be noted that most of the strategies have only been started since 9/11. We are fighting a new type of war against an enemy we have never had to face before. That takes time, and it certainly doesn't get any easier with people like Mr. Livingstone gumming up the works.
Ken Livingstone, the Mayor of London, launched a stinging attack on President George Bush last night, denouncing him as the "greatest threat to life on this planet that we've most probably ever seen".
His provocatively timed comments, on the eve of Mr Bush's arrival in London tonight, threaten to create severe embarrassment for the Prime Minister. They also come with talks under way on whether to readmit Mr Livingstone to the Labour Party before his five-year exile ends.

Mr Livingstone recalled a visit at Easter to California, where he was denounced for an attack he had made on what he called "the most corrupt and racist American administration in over 80 years".
The mayor said: "Some US journalist came up to me and said: 'How can you say this about President Bush?' Well, I think what I said then was quite mild. I actually think that Bush is the greatest threat to life on this planet that we've most probably ever seen. The policies he is initiating will doom us to extinction."
