FOX NEWS - F*** The Poor, We Got Usselves Some Islamists To Kill!

Brian Kilmeade, in his infinite wisdom, published this sensitive and measured commentary on the day of the London Bombs, on his Fox News blog. I'll take his questions one by one, shall I?

What should be embarrassing is that terrorism was not even a talking point at the G-8 summit! Global warming and African aid is important, but what about the safety of the western world, on whom all civilization depends?

No, you're right. How could I have been so wrong? Creating equality for the whole world and levelling the playing field for billions of people who you barely give a thought to on a day-to-day basis, will do nothing to bring about a more stable and conflict-free world. I'm such a dunce.

Do you think Al Qaeda is trying to solve anyone's hunger problem?

No. But then, they're evil psychopaths and that's not their aim. I wouldn't expect them to. Have you got any sensible questions?

Can we finally realize that we are at war! Can we please make a global effort against Al Qaeda?

This coming from a country that insists on unilateral action. Yes, can we have a joint effort and not throw our toys from the pram just because some countries who have more experience with terrorism and war on their own soil disagree with your methods?

How bad do you think the people of London feel now for the conditions at Gitmo or Abu Ghraib?

Bloody awful, I would have thought. No one deserves that kind of treatment. If you hadn't noticed, there hasn't been much self-righteous vitriol coming from this side of the pond. People just want to get back to normal, not kill all Muslims.

It’s time for France, Italy, Germany and Russia and yes, Egypt, to realize that terrorists are coming for them next, unless we get them first.

Well, no, they're probably not actually. Al Qaeda are very media-savvy. They're not so stupid that they will attack countries who aren't attacking them because that would be bad PR. There's plenty of targets in "The Coalition Of The Willing" that will give them much better PR back home. Okay, they may go for Egypt, but that's a rather different kettle of fish to London.

God, I love idiots.
