Angering the Street

The conventional wisdom among Europeans and Europeans at heart is that Iraq has enraged otherwise peaceful Moslems to kill us with whatever implements are handy.

Noting that our enemies have been killing us for decades prior to capturing Baghdad seems not to have any effect on believing this strange notion.

By the simple logic that Germany isn't fighting in Iraq, we can rule out that Iraq is a factor in the recent bombing attempt in Germany.

But what did set up the excitable little darlings?

Well:

The prime suspects in the failed attempt to blow up two German trains were partly motivated by anger over the publication of Prophet Muhammad cartoons, a leading investigator said in an interview released Saturday.


Germany Out of Toontown!

And my apologies to linking to the NYT despite my policy. But it is just an AP piece so cut me some slack on my embargo. This is the first time I've linked to anything with their domain name since then.
