Wikipedia Coverage Of London Explosions

If you don’t already know, several bombs have gone off in London and the subway has been shutdown. Wikipedia has amazing coverage of the situation, as it did with the Tsunami diasaster. All the news from different sources has been summarized and placed into one page, which is being updated continually.

that they would strike at a city i love and live in fills me less with terror than an overwhelming conviction that the fools who did this must be stopped, regardless of cost.

this must be how america felt after 9/11. not just angry, not just saddened, but vengeful and imbued with a righteous conviction.

forgive me for the emotional outburst, but london didn’t deserve this.

No city ‘deserves’ cowardly attacks.

but at the risk of being labeled a sympathiser, the people who did this must really hate Britain, or Britains foriegn policy.

I don’t think people are born hating, so something made them hate.

What troubles me, is the tube trains and tunnels and generally public transport is so big in the UK, and such a soft target.

I remember during the IRA mainland bombing campaign, I remember thinking these trains I riding every day are the easiest targets, if fear and disruption is the weapon.

Of course bombs go of all over the world every day, people walk on land mines, car bombs in Iraq. Every explosion massively impacts the lives around it.

This is in London and we now feel what Irealis feel, or Palistinians feel, or Iraqis.

No doubt it won’t belong before Bush and Blair start spouting messages of conviction, using this to support what they have done, and will do.

Seems to me the war on terror which was supposed to reduce terrorism has backfired and is now causing terror where there was none before.

the world has become a sad, sad place.
