Ken Livingstone: Idiot

To wit:

"If you have been under foreign occupation, and denied the right to vote, denied the right to run your own affairs, often denied the right to work, for three generations, I suspect if it had happened here in England, we would have produced a lot of suicide bombers ourselves," he said on Wednesday.

Second note to Ken: look around the world at all of the suicide bombers. See anything they might have in common? Here's a hint, it's not poverty and oppression (only a fool would be blind to the fact that many of these suicide bombers are educated and doing okay for themselves).

I suppose the four London suicide bombers were having to endure the horrid, harsh poverty and oppression of Great Britain, eh? I believe this is called biting the hand that feeds you.

No, dear Ken, had England been under occupation (like, say, the British did with Northern Ireland), you might have seen a guerilla war, but I doubt you'd have seen suicide bombers. Going to one's glory in Heaven with all those waiting virgins takes something special. It takes fundamentalist Islam.

And you're not an Islamic nation.

Yet.
