US President George Bush is attending the G8 Summit at Gleneagles, Scotland, which unfortunately was disturbed today due to the terrorist attack in London. British PM Tony Blair left Gleneagles to return to London briefly to assess the situation though returned to the summit later in the evening.

The summit will continue tomorrow but it is expected to end probably a little earlier than originally intended to allow Tony Blair to return to London tomorrow afternoon

Vice President Dick Cheney will undergo a routine exam Friday to check the condition of a high-tech pacemaker that was placed in his chest in June 2001.

Cheney spokeswoman Lea Anne McBride said the tests at George Washington University Medical Center would include a physical exam, an electrocardiogram, an echocardiogram and a stress test. The vice president planned to be back at work later in the day, she said.

"It's a routine physical," she said. She said the vice president also would have a colonoscopy later this month.

Here are a few photos of the London bombing which I think is topical for this thread because it impacted the G8 conference that GWB is attending

Note the shopper in the background almost looking unconcerned.

The mangled bus

I'm in!

Good on ya! I don't know why that made me smile, but it did. Hard to think of something witty to type when you're trying to make the cut, huh? : )

I'm surprised (but very glad) that more people weren't killed. The multiple bombings on the trains in Madrid killed almost 200 people.

A sad day.

"It's important ... that those engaged in terrorism realize that our determination to defend our values and our way of life is greater than their determination to cause death and destruction to innocent people and a desire to impose extremism on the world."

"Whatever they do, it is our determination that they will never succeed destroying what we hold dear in this country and in other civilizations in the world."

"We know that these people act in the name of Islam, but we also know that the vast and overwhelming majority of Muslims, here and abroad, are decent and law-abiding people who abhor this act of terrorism every bit as we do."

"When they try to intimidate us, we will not be intimidated … we will not be changed. When they try to divide our people or weaken our resolve, we will not be divided and our resolve will hold firm. We will show by our spirit and dignity ... our values will long outlast theirs."

 ~~~Tony Blair~~~

GOD BE WITH OUR BRITISH FRIENDS IN THIS TIME OF SORROW!

Yes I managed to get a friend to down load my old email address so that I got password details for snugs. Have now changed the password to something I will not forget.
