London Mayor Defends Suicide Bombers

According to London's mayor Ken Livingstone, suicide bombers killing innocent Israeli civilians is a perfectly legitimate act of protest.

"Given that the Palestinians don't have jet planes, don't have tanks, they only have their bodies to use as weapons," Livingstone told Sky News in an interview.

I suppose that suicide bombers are right to kill innocent British civilians also because, by the mayor's own logic, Al Qaeda doesn't have jet planes or tanks either - all they have are their bodies and a few weapons and bombmaking knowledge.

Maybe if a suicide bomb goes off in London every day for the next year the mayor might change his tune.
