I don't know if any of our members are in Great Britain but if so I wanted to say I care and am sorry about the stupidity of these bombs. One can only wonder why these perverted men (mostly, sorry but it's true) feel so disgusted with their lives they need to do such things.
I am also sorry our incompetent president has made such a mess of things. What bad luck for the world these jerks came to power in the USA just at a time we really needed someone who wasn't a complete idiot.

Thank you for your sentiment. It'll take a lot more than this to have "Britain burning in fear" |

Our country is truly shamed when we have to apologize for our witless ass of a president. I echo B'gal's sentiments.
I've been following this and hearing a lot of rethoric from people who know little more than I. I'll wait for a while to get better info.
I'm not worried about the Brits hanging in; not after the WW-II bombings. They're tough enough!

True, if the Germans couldn't take them down then, I doubt some (most likely) islamic wack-jobs will be able to do it now...
Though how to "end" this, I don't know. Any ideas?

How to end this? Impeachment hearings for Bush Administration officials who cooked up phony evidence for war against Iraq, for starters... |

I'm sorry, you have my sympathy, my heart and thoughts for those who suffer from this cowardly act.
I'm going to London within a month, on vacation. I'll make a detour to pay my respect for those lost their lives. |

My sympathies go out to the families of the victims of these cowards. As mentioned, the British have endured and overcome much worse than this. They will again. |

An incompetent president that has made the terrorism risks in the world worse. And while I didn't vote for him a disgusting number of US citizens did. |

Do you think that Bush was to blame for the WTC attack? |

Attacking the enemy may make things worse for now, but it does not mean it is the wrong action to take. Time will tell us, I suppose. |
