What does Iraq have to do with anything?
Because no motive for the Boston bombing has as yet been established it is perfectly reasonable for the authorities, and for everyone else, to speculate about who might be sufficiently antagonized to do something like that.
My speculation is based on thoughts that passed through my mind while watching the Bush Administration's bombing of Baghdad -- which was done in your name and mine:

This was not a fireworks display. It was the malicious destruction of a highly civilized and sophisticated modern city which was home to millions of innocent civilians, including women, children, and little tots, none of whom did a thing to us or wished us any harm. Without any declaration of war, or any legitimate justification, many hundreds, possibly thousands, of these innocents were crushed and/or burned to death, or maimed, or injured, some while in their cribs.
As I watched this happening all I could think of is how wrong it was, and whether the Bush gang would be held to account for it. I recall thinking there will be a price to pay for the unlawful, horrendously immoral, unprovoked military aggression.
So when I heard about the Boston bombing the bombing of Baghdad came to mind.
What are your thoughts?
