I'm disgusted that Tony Blair has, to a lesser extent, done the same. A lot of the fear which has been whipped up since 9/11 has been cynically created to allow Western governments to invade countries and bring in draconian laws. What I can't believe is that you're getting so het up about a two minutes silence on the 1st anniversary of a tragedy that killed many innocent people. It's not on the scale of innocent Iraqi's having been killed, but that doesn't make it right.
