First, it still has to be determined who is behind the bombings. Second, it depends how Blair "spins" the attacks in the coming days - popular opinion against the war is already high. Third, attention could earily be focused in why the government didn't see this coming - the "foreign dimension" may not carry much currency. (London is a city "watched by the state" without peer in the world). Fourth, Blair should hope that Bush and Putin keep their comments muted - i.e Iraq and Chechnya.
