Always our fault
Once again, the "newspaper of record" tells us what is and isn't news. In its eyes, at least. It is amazing to me how, in this entire article, the journalist can find room to quote the grievances of Muslims about the policies of America and England, and how they policies led to the bombing, but cannot quote any of the Muslim leaders and Imams who call for jihad, the domination of the West, and all the other expansionist aims of radical Muslims.
It's always our fault and all acts of terror are defensive in nature. At least as far as the NYT is concerned.
