What a refreshing article from Adnkronos Int'l... "Terrorism: European attacks 'inevitable' as al Qaeda influence spreads, say experts". By the headline alone, I surfed to the news article, fully expecting the typical "it's Bush's fault for going into Iraq" mantra.
Much to my surprise, Bob Ayers, an associate fellow for international security at London-based thinktank, Chatham House, maintains a clear perspective on reality.
