語るに落ちた英外相の戦争リンク否定で英世論の実情判明
ロンドン爆破事件で、イギリスの識者は、アメリカの戦争に相乗りしていることを、基本的な原因として指摘している。
私は、このイギリスの世論の報道に関して、以下の投稿をした。

受信料は一度も払ったことはないが、どういうわけか、自宅の超安物受像器で視聴できるので、さきほど、午後9時からのNHKスペシャル「狙われたロンドン」を、仕方なく視聴した。
基本的には、イスラム、アラブ、テロリスト、ビン・ラディン、などなど、イギリス政府の言い分そのままで、慨嘆久しいが、部分的には興味深い点もあった。
これは、911の時のアメリカの世論にもあったのだが、基本的な条件は、イスラム教徒が、差別されている構造に問題がある。
その点を、いかにもNHKらしく、現地の「イスラム人権擁護委員会」代表などに語らせていた。
思想は現状の反映であるが、ブレアは、「悪の思想」を糾弾するのみで、大英帝国の世界支配、植民地収奪の歴史の反省をしない。
「悪循環」を指摘する論者もいた。こういう点を、もっと深く追求するのなら、受信料を払わないでもない。

Straw rejects war link to bombings
James Sturcke and agencies
Monday July 18, 2005
The foreign secretary, Jack Straw, today dismissed suggestions that Britain's involvement in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan contributed to the terrorist attacks in London on July 7.
Mr Straw rejected a report by a respected independent thinktank on foreign affairs, the Chatham House organisation, which found that a key problem in the UK for preventing terrorism is that the country "is riding as a pillion passenger with the United States in the war against terror".

The foreign secretary, Jack Straw, today dismissed suggestions that Britain's involvement in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan contributed to the terrorist attacks in London on July 7.
Mr Straw rejected a report by a respected independent thinktank on foreign affairs, the Chatham House organisation, which found that a key problem in the UK for preventing terrorism is that the country "is riding as a pillion passenger with the United States in the war against terror".

"I'm astonished that Chatham House is now saying that we should not have stood shoulder to shoulder with our long-standing allies in the United States," Mr Straw told reporters before chairing an EU foreign ministers meeting in Brussels.
"The time for excuses for terrorism is over," he said. "The terrorists have struck across the world, in countries allied with the United States, backing the war in Iraq and in countries which had nothing whatever to do with the war in Iraq."
Chatham House and another think-tank, the Economic and Social Research Council, said the situation in Iraq had given "a boost" to the al-Qaida network's ability to recruit and raise money.
Mr Straw said Saturday's attack at a beach resort in Turkey also showed that terrorists "will seek any excuse" to strike. "They struck this weekend in Turkey, which was not supporting our action in Iraq," Mr Straw said.
The Chatham House report, written by Frank Gregory, of the University of Southampton, and Professor Paul Wilkinson, of the University of St Andrews, said: "There is no doubt that the situation over Iraq has imposed particular difficulties for the UK, and for the wider coalition against terrorism."
They added: "The UK is at particular risk because it is the closest ally of the United States."
Their findings contradict the prime minister, Tony Blair, who insisted on Saturday that the fanatics who struck in London and launched other attacks around the world were driven by an "evil ideology" rather than opposition to any policy, and that it would be a "misunderstanding of a catastrophic order" to think that if we changed our behaviour they would change theirs.
The defence secretary, John Reid, also dismissed the argument that Britain would have been safer if it had not joined the military actions in Afghanistan and Iraq.
"The idea that somehow by running away from the school bully, then the bully will not come after you is a thesis that is known to be completely untrue by every kid in the playground and it is also refuted by every piece of historical evidence that we have," he told the BBC Radio 4 Today programme.
Meanwhile, the government today prepared to speed up its anti-terrorist legislation. The home secretary, Charles Clarke, was meeting his Tory and Liberal Democrat counterparts to win support for new terror laws. Mr Clarke, David Davis and Mark Oaten will discuss new offences of preparing, training for and inciting terror acts.
The new offences had not been expected to come into force until next year, but they could be brought forward in the wake of the bombings.
Mohammad Sidique Khan, 30, Hasib Mir Hussain, 18, and Shehzad Tanweer, 22, all from Leeds, and Jamaican-born Germaine Lindsay, 19, of Buckinghamshire, detonated their charges on board three tube trains and a bus killing 55 people.
In CCTV footage released on Saturday, the bombers were seen strolling nonchalantly into Luton station on July 7 carrying rucksacks packed with explosives.
The headteacher of the school where Khan worked described today how she found him "hard-working, passionate and dedicated in his work with children". Khan, who blew himself and six other people up in the Edgware Road blast, was employed as a learning mentor at Hillside primary school in Leeds.
"All of us at Hillside are utterly shocked to hear that one of our staff had been responsible for such an horrific act," Sarah Balfour said in a statement. "While he was with us, [Sidique] accomplished a great deal in bringing people from different local communities together. It is difficult to understand how such passion and energy could be corrupted."
It was revealed today that a fund set up to help victims of the London terror attacks has raised ｣3.5 million.
"The generosity already displayed by companies and members of the public will make a real difference to the victims of these bombings and their families," said Murziline Parchment, an interim trustee of the London Bombings Relief Charitable Fund. "The fund is there to help people to rebuild their lives following these tragic events. We hope this generosity will continue and that donations will keep coming in."
Over the weekend, two more victims were identified as vigils were held across the country to remember those who died. Elizabeth Daplyn, a 26-year-old administrator from north London, and mortgage broker James Adams, 32, of Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, were named.
The funeral of mother-of-two Susan Levy, 53, of Cuffley, Hertfordshire, was held yesterday at Golders Green crematorium in north London, and attended by more than 100 family and friends.
Inquests into the deaths of 19 more victims of the attacks will be opened over the next three days - confirming the identity of 15 of the dead for the first time. Fifty-one of the 55 people who died in the bombings have been identified by police and these 19 are the last of the 51 to go to the coroner.
