A very common trick of the stupid is a very selective short term memory. The biggest example of this is the whole "Bush lied" about WMDs, which comletely ignores 8 years of Clinton/Gore/Kennedy/Kerry saying the same thing. In reality, if it is a lie, then Bush isn't the purpastrator, but yet just another dupe who believed them.
Jann Wenner, founder of Rolling Stone mag, says, "If the London bombings are the work of an al Qaeda offshoot, then you have to fairly say, in the same way we condemn other's terror, this is in part the result of Bush's War on Iraq."
So she completely (conveniently?) forgests all of the many terroris attacks over the last 30 years. (What was Bush doing in '88 when Flight 103 blew up over Lockerbie?)
