And just so the Muslims can hate too, the Srebrenica ceremony

Is the timing of the Srebrenica memorial ceremony just a coincidence?

Today saw the memorial ceremony in Srebrenica for Muslims killed in Bosnia.
If the London bombings are not quite what the mainstream media and indeed the government, would have us believe they are, then the timing of this ceremony should also be viewed with some caution.

Inasmauch as any war needs the opposing armies to be sufficiently motivated in order to kill each other, then in a week in which we are all once again being urged to fear the Muslim bogey man, it seems to have a warped symmetry that followers of Islam should be reminded that the west was complicit in the murder of their brethren.

While on the sidelines, those who continue to stir the hatred with a well oiled media spoon, sit back and rub their hands in anticipation of the highly profitable conflict to come.

Nothing that is presented to us is ever done without a very clear psychological, political or emotional objective.
