I don't mean to be cynical in the face of this terrible event. My thoughts and prayers are with the British people in general and the residents of London in particular. But I can't help but roll my eyes at the statements made by many of the "leaders" in Europe.

France will give Britain "immediate, full and complete collaboration" of French intelligence. Spain offers "unconditional help to chase the criminals who perpetrated such a repugnant attack." Germany will fight terrorism "with all the means at our disposal."

Gimme a break!

The Old Europeans are such a bunch of spineless hypocrites in this war, that there words sting my ears. If the reaction of Europe after 9/11 is any indication, they'll act like friends for a few weeks and then begin to attack the victims. Le Monde is probably already preparing tomorrow's front page with an expose on how today's bombings are a direct result of Britain's Imperial past.

In short, it won't be long until they have forgotten the passion of this moment and begin to defend the Religion of Peace and attack the West as the source of all evil in the world. Of course Air America won't be far behind.

France will give Britain "immediate, full and complete collaboration" of French intelligence.

Which means about as much as donating one million dollars in Monopoly money...

[camle]

the world will stand with England as long as England doesn't do anything. the second England takes action against these scum "the world" will turn it's back on them.

[Blue Scourge]

Just like they all stood with us after 9/11....for about a week and a half

World Stands With London After Attacks

Oddly, with the exception of Turkey, I don't see any mention of the Muslim world in this story.

[GulfWar1Vet]

That is exactly what I thought when I read this. All the European leaders are such freakin hypocrites. Since this attack happened in their back yards, they are scared sh*tless.

They don't give sh*t about others but themselves.

We should have left Europe to die after WWII.

[peacebaby]

We've not heard anything from Moveon.org, Michael More, John Kerry, Nancy Pelosi, Ted Kennedy and all those other folks who poo poo terrorism.

Where are they today?

"It is a drama for Great Britain. It is a drama for all of Europe," Villepin said

A drama?? Villepin, your french is showing.

[ncountylee]

Why are the democrat leaders silent? No Kennedy, Pelosi. Biden, Reid, Durbin, Boxer, Schumer, Hillary, Leahy, etc., etc., etc.?

[RoseofTexas]

"But I can't help but roll my eyes at the statements made by many of the "leaders" in Europe."

For sure! Where have I heard that quote before...ahhhh yeah, after 9-11 and look how the USA was treated by those same leaders in the UN...BS! The USA will stand behind England 100% along with Australia and those other countries fighting terrorism in Iraq! UNITED WE STAND!

[RightWhale]

Spain, bitterly familiar with terror after train bombings in Madrid killed 191 people last year, put its security forces on maximum alert

This seems odd. Spain capitulated to Terror, why would they be in any danger now?

[SeaBiscuit]

"World Stands With London After Attacks"

As they should, but if I remember correctly, that's the same tune we heard here after 9/11. A few weeks later, that tune was much different.

[COBOL2Java]

Spain, bitterly familiar with terror after train bombings in Madrid killed 191 people last year, put its security forces on maximum alert, posting army and police units to watch over airports, train stations and shopping centers.

Huh? But they pulled their troops out of Iraq! < end sarcasm >

In this "drama", we know who is espousing words only.

World Stands With London After Attacks

Titles like this make me barf. What exactly does that mean? "We agree, those attacks were bad!"

[ZULU]

"A similar response came from France, the object of attacks in the 1990s. Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin ordered the alert level raised and promised Britain the "immediate, full and complete collaboration" of French intelligence."

They went that-away!!

[Soul Seeker]

Maybe the world will get their head straight now that's this has occured twice in their own home turf, but even if they don't, Tony knows what they face. Our President know what they face. Our allies understand the risks. WE'LL stand with britain as an attack on them is an attack on us.

[modest proposal]

the union jack is flying on my front door in alabama.

I love england and i cried when i heard this news

[ZULU]

One Brit is probably worth Fifty Continental Europeans in a foxhole anyway.

[peacebaby]

Dear Senator Durbin:

Any London blood on your hands today?

Sincerely,

Peacebaby

[capydick]

Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin promised Britain the "immediate, full and complete collaboration" of French intelligence.

Tony Blair: Gee - uh - thanks. We'll get back to you.
