It also appears that worldwide sympathy and anger with this attack is going to be HUGE. Most people around the world know the history of the London Blitz in WWII and the IRA bombings, and are horrified to see Londoners going through this again at the hands of Islamofascist freaks. It also appears to be very stupid and hamhanded to pull a deadly attack just days after Live 8, when millions came together around the world to support efforts to fight poverty in Africa. The terrorists have really blown it this time IMO.
God save the Queen and Great Britain!
Amen!

No they see it as a victory.
They don't care about poverty in Africa - they hate western civilization and western influence.
The leftist live8ers see the Muslim terrorists as minutemen and freedom fighters. The jihad might kill them last - but it wants to kill them too.

Perhaps the attacks in London will have a greater effect abroad than those in the U.S. since we are reviled more than they are.
Either way, God be with them, and I hope they fight for their lives just as we chose to.
60,000 British civilians were killed by German attacks during WWII. they are a tough lot, very inspiring indeed. As the famous war correspondent (Ernie Pyle I think) once said, when journalists actually were patriots and not traitors--"This is London....London can take it!"
