we're thinking about you guys back here in America....I hope and pray nothing more happens over there....

Hey all, Pics are from the pub the Viaduct Tavern, which is near to the Old Bailey and City Thameslink.

Thanks for the good luck wishes for the wedding and promise to post some pictures of Louise tonite! She is shy though!

Anyone can use my pics, I post pics of what I see and im with Rich, we are the home of not being afriad, not even slightly.

I think it's time our respective countries started to profile, round these dirtbags up and send them back to from whence they came. Being compassionate for Muslims who supposedly face intolerance in their home countries is at an end. We in the United States understand completely. We stand with the UK in our resolve to eradicate terror and violence.

Um, back to Leeds?

That's a stupid thing to say in light of where the 7/7 bombers came from. And you certainly can't umbrella Islam in that way.

Walt, who the hell is 'we'? --Speak for yourself, Buster. First we rob them, then we support a dictator who tortures them, then we bomb them and kill them by the thousands--and then,we're surprised that they hate us?
Violence begets violence. Those who fail to study history are bound to repeat it. Get wise instead of belligerent!

I don't know that I've ever read anything more wrong-headed Walt - do you know that these terrorists were British? Raised in Leeds? How exactly do you fight a war with yourself? How exactly do you fight a war against an idea?

Our governments are incapable of mounting a defence against what amounts to a meme, we're at a time of great cultural upheaval, and if you're going to be of any help in changing the world for the better, you should do some more reading into why our current global political climate exists.

wow Andrew good job in turning a blog about terrorist attacks in London to a right wing left wing argument....I commend you.....how stupid are we really these days...shouldnt terrorist attacks throw politics out the window?....but oh well........I think the important thing is making sure London is safe for now.....then we can worry about all the political crap.

Muchas gracias por las primicias.

Incredible photos, I found a link to this moblog on another London blog.

As an American putting political issues aside, I can't begin to describe my feelings and respect for all Britons in this terrible hour.

Some people are arabs, some people are Muslims, and some people are dirtbags. But those groups don't overlap as neatly as one might think. In fact, if "dirtbagness" consists of espousing extreme solutions to social problems (real or imagined) and the willingness to attack people who certainly aren't guilty because they might be, in some way, superficially similar to people who may be more legitimately worthy of hatred, then that tars you, Walt, with the same brush.

Over here in the United States, we used to believe in equality and justice for all.

Oh yeah, we want to ignore all that piffling political crap.
*facepalm*

Always sickens me how the armchair generals pop out of the woodwork at times like this, trying to disguise their little floppy semi as they think about battalions of tanks rolling across dusty deserts blowing the hell out of poor people. As Alfie pointed out, these people are British, so we'll deal with them according to British laws. As to whether we should be excluding or deporting imams who stir up hatred that's another matter entirely, but I don't think that kneejerk gun reactions are really going to help matters.

Read this.

Ignore the politics? Why the hell should we do that? And it's not left-wing/right-wing crapola when we're talking facts.

It's not partisan to say that the United States trained Osama bin Laden to provide resistance against the Soviets when they were invading Afghanistan. That had King Saud's backing, too, because it got the militant fundies out of his tidy little human rights backwater kingdom and got them blowing up stuff in Afghanistans instead of his palaces. We fed him anything he needed—money, drugs, weapons, technology—as long as he was blowing up the Russkies.

To help out in that fight, we trained Saddam Hussein and both of his demon-spawn sons (at a school that was spitting distance from where I spent my childhood—and my father taught there) so that they could threaten the Soviets from another angle and also keep Iran in line. We didn't care who Saddam gassed when we were the ones giving him the gas. Now we care? That's bent.

Bin Laden bombed Wall Street because we stopped giving him his cut when the Soviets collapsed—and then we supported King Saud in pinning down Al Queda as well as he could. I'm sure that left bin Laden scratching his head, because ideologically, Al Queda is closer to democracy than what King Saud has to say. But wait—King Saud has oil to sell us.

So now it all makes sense. Hussein is no longer our friend because the Ayatolla that deposed the Shah is dead and the new government there is (relatively speaking) moderate. So we stopped paying and arming him, too.

Not that Hussein and bin Laden would have ever teamed up together. Hussein thought bin Laden was a zealot freak, and bin Laden thought Hussein was a godless tin-plated dictator with delusions of his own godhood.

Leaving out the politics also leaves out the fact that this mess started back when GHWB (the elder) was Director of the CIA, and much of this mess dates back to when India was part of the British Empire.

This has nothing to do with the odd fundamentalist nutbag with a pocketful of semtex. This has to do with charismatic leaders convincing their followers and tribesmen and distant relatives that wealthy and powerful Westerners will use them up and throw them away like bloody condoms for the purposes of lining pockets and stuffing bank accounts and oil tankers, and there's no way for them to survive unless they fight back in whatever desperate way they can.

The only militants, even the firmly fundamentalist ones, that believe that "72 eternal virgins" crap are the fourteen-year-old fresh recruits—the ones that still think blowing themselves up is romantic. Everyone else is in it because they believe their thousands-of-years-old way of life is about to be subsumed by Hollywood and Coca-Cola and McDonalds.

They are afraid of us doing to them exactly what the USA did to the Native Americans. They see no romance in Shi'ite, Sunni, Sufi, and/or Bedu reservations, of having it be illegal to learn their native languages, in having to build casinos to attract tourists dollars.

I'd love to say that we don't do that kind of shit anymore, that they don't have any reason to fear or despise us, that if they want to all get together and buy up houses in Lansing and work out how to get along by there rules and our rules at the same time, they'd be perfectly welcome. Maybe some of them already have. But the ones back home don't get to hear about it, and I'm sure as hell not going to advocate rounding up all the peaceful ones we have here and sending them back at gunpoint so they can explain our largesse and religious freedoms to their old third cousins.

Sheesh.

Well put Laszlo... succinct - not too far off the mark - and about where the world is poised.

Nuff Said

Yes I agree with Laszlo. American foreign policy tends to promote an us and 'them' mentality where there are only 'good' guys and the 'baddies'. Their leaders don't seem capable of understanding the differences in other cultures and appreciating the other cultures. This has led to a lot of bad feeling toward Americans as a whole. Recent events in Abu graib prison (? correct spelling) and the lies regarding the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq only go to fuel more resentment on the part of marginalized people
