OK, would the London bombings have occurred if the UK had not been involved in the Iraq War? On the one hand, it's reported that the bombers felt anger towards the UK and US regarding the Iraqi invasion. On the other, JI in Indonesia were quite happy to bomb a nightclub in Bali long before the...

Loved the book when I read it - but it's been a while (7 years?). And now Richard Linklater is making a film of it with Keanu R (boo!), Robert Downey Jr (ray!), Woody & Winona (hmmmm). Looks like he's doing some weird-ass animation over it as well. Which could either be fantastic (ala Manga) or...
