I can see these attacks exacerbating racial tensions.
Firstly I don't recall the British goverment being overly distressed at the numerous and frequent bomb attacks in Belfast city Centre, but it is easier to be concerned when your home/family might be affected.
Secondly, a point which my brother brought up yesterday. He moved to London with an irish accent and was targeted in school by kids who thought to punish him for being a terrorist. School kids will do exactly the same thing with all asian kids, probably whether muslim or not, so the terrorists are condemning poor little kiddies to a lot of unneccesary bullying.

Re: It is about Iraq, and much more
" Consider the incredible brashness of attacking the US, when it is so much more powerful than they. "
Clearly the US is not more powerful than the Arab Nations otherwise they would surely take action against the true perpetrators of the suicide bombings. I do belive that the main nationality of the 9/11 bombers was NOT Iraqi. Therefore the war on terror is a fallacy. They are waging a war on Iraq whose main connection with said terror is as a victim.
As it is Saudis etc are much to powerful in the oil stakes for George to even shake a stick at. Weapons are not the only form of power.
