Why Mr. Blair Nearly Lost His Temper

In its report on a July 26, 2005 press briefing by British Prime Minister Tony Blair, The Guardian reported that "Sky News' political editor said "more Iraqi civilians have been killed by U.S. and British armed forces than terrorists in Iraq." Mr Blair says:

"I don't accept that. It's complete nonsense to build some equivalence between what we're doing to bring democracy to Iraq and Afghanistan and what these people are doing.
"And there's no justification for suicide bombing in Israel either - let's just get that out of the way".

"Mr Blair has very nearly lost his temper," The Guardian said.

What about suicide bombings in Iraq, Tony? There were none there before the U.S.-British invasion. Don't the Iraqis count?
