Quote by littlejonny100Everyones intitled to an opinion and i'll listen to your if you don't
go off at mine..... lots of people died....30 something at the
moment.... of 6 billion on earth, not bad odds? I just think it's
selfish that people say it's horrible in londone but if a bus load of
islamics blew up in irag many wouldn't care at all. If your going to
care about people in this world you should care about all of them. I
agree that it's bad that a few bombs went off in one day but how many
bombs are going off in their country all day everyday..... The empathy
people are showing is human nature but unfortunately so is revenge....
It's human nature and unfortunately it will never stop. If you worry
about all the bad in the world you'll spend your life depressed.
"May he who has never sinned throw the first stone"You're correct about one thing. You are entitled to your opinion... but in your narrow-minded haste you missed the fact that it's not the amount of people who died, or how they died. It's the fact that people were killed. Whether it's in Iraq or London, by "natural" causes or man-made. The horror is the loss of life, and the only reason people like you can sound-off so calously without any kind of empathy is because you don't know anyone who has been hurt or killed or effected by it.
I know people who have been effected by both the Tsunami and the bomb on the bus in Tavistock Square. Last night my entire city was evacuated because the police received coded threats about times and places of potential explosions ~ thankfully nothing happened and nobody was hurt. It doesn't matter "where" or "how" friends and relatives were killed ~ it's just that they were killed.
People are in pain and need to grieve. So if you insist on thrusting your ignorant opinion at others at the most inappropriate time then don't be surprised when their opinions to come flooding back at you. You have your right to speak, but so do they. You can pretend you're a jaded know-it-all, but you're not; you'rejust inexperienced. Live life a little, make friends, fall in love, get your heart broken, feel the pain of loss when somebody close to you dies... Pretend how you don't care when you see someone you love lying cold and watching the colour literally drain out of them in the moments after they've died. Then tell us how insignificant it is for one person to die as opposed to 20,000.
It makes no difference, because the pain felt by those left behind is still the same.
Absolutely devastating.

I was actually surprised when they found evidence of possible al-qaeda involvement. I'm not sure why, I suppose I just assume that the culprits would be IRA related. They seemed to be the right idiots for the job.
Speaking of idiots...

Are you some Cro Magnum that stumbled out of a refrigerator? Your ramblings are nothing more than a clear view of what your tiny mind thinks the situation is. You probably don't even know what communism really is, and you clearly have no clue about tactics.
MAD, mutual assured destruction. I suggest you find out what this means and remember this. This, as well as the lack of any true lunatics in command of a countries with nuclear armaments, is the only thing that can protect the world from nuclear war in its current state of affairs.

Ironically, it's the only thing that has historical precedence as such. ...Of course there was loss of life in other coutries like Korea, Viet Nam and Afghanistan... ...All of which ended up grinding between superpowers... ...But it got us through the Cold War. ...I really am grateful to President Regan for all he did in this matter. ...Gorbechev (sp/I think that's the right name) & Regan managed to let people sleep at night once again...

Horrible or not, I logically thought to myself that something like this will happen. Why? because of one major fact, the UK supported the war in Iraq. This event happens to be just like the same thing as the Madrid bombings. Spain supported the war in Iraq, and was a target to unsuspected or suspected "terrorists". Next thing you know, something like this could happen to us in America besides the dreadful 9/11.
Make no mistake, I'm also very sympathetic to the victims of any crisis, including the Madrid bombings and the current London bombings.

I understand that this could have been directly linked to the UK supporting the war on Iraq, but to think that it wouldn't have happened anyway is a little naive.

Quote by Aa-chanIt is a testament to the hard work of the rescuse crews that London is already getting back up and running.
As well as a testament to the resilience of the British people, especially the Londoners.

I'd left London on the previous day, so thankfully i wasn't caught up in the chaos.
There are a few of my friends who are still in London however, one of whom i can't get in contact with. I really hope she's ok.... :(

It kind of affects me... makes me feel a bit sad for them.
I wonder if those UKers even cared about the WTCs being blown up. I live in NY and also my mom works close to where the WTCs used to stand, but w/e. She wasnt hurt thats all i really care about.

I saw it on the news and heard it on the radio since the UK bombings. They interviewed an Australian that escaped the bombings just in a nick of time. I felt sorry for that guy and everyone else who got caught up in that experience. They all have my sympathy. =(
Although I'm kinda skeptical that Al Quaeda did this- its that easy to point fingers and accuse... :\
Best wishes for recovery to the ones that are affected due to this cowardly, inhumane act.

News Flash, 21 July, 2005
Today, 4 more explosions rocked London, in a style grimly similar to 7-7. They were smaller explosions, but 3 were on the Tube, 1 on a bus.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/4703777.stm
Guess they still haven't apprehended all of the terrorists from 7-7. Or this could be a copy cat plot.

According to what I heard, one of the explosives used was the same as the one used two weeks ago, which could mean it's the same people that attacked two weeks ago.

yep.
our daily routine is once again messed up.
i've been scared to go near buses lately.
in my mind... "any dark skin with a beard carrying a rucksack is a terrorist about to go suicide"
the police were really going nuts today.

i had to say this. that is a cute avy, Aa-chan.
one of my dad's friend works in the force of the "shoot to kill policy".
i wish all the police were armed.
unfortunely the police are on horses and leave horse crap outside my house! (on the road)
looks like it's gonna be like the old IRA bombings. those times, people were really scared.
