Saying it like it is
It takes a lot of balls for someone like the Mayor of London to say:
Decades of British and American intervention in the oil-rich Middle East motivated the London bombers … Instead, they had often supported unsavoury governments in the region…”We’ve propped up unsavoury governments, we’ve overthrown ones we didn’t consider sympathetic.” [Source]
And to say that right after the London bombings? That’s like committing political harakiri. I would only expect someone like Chomsky or George Galloway to say stuff like that.
But way to go Livingstone for calling a spade a spade.
