Another possible answer to "Why do they hate us?"

CNN reports that while speaking to Parliament on Wednesday, Tony Blair

urged Britons to react calmly to the bombings that killed at least 52 people, and he condemned attacks against Muslims.

"Particularly with the shock of knowing that those that have perpetrated this were actually born and brought up in this country, I think it is particularly important we recognize the worldwide dimension of this," Blair said.

And just why was this such a "shock," Tony? What, it was supposed to be impossible for anyone British to do such a thing? Is it supposed to be something only "foreigners" could have done? What does that say about how your government views the rest of the world?
