London

My deepest feelings and sympathies go out to the citizens of London, who were the victims of multiple terror bombings today. Al Qaeda has claimed responsibility and it is probably in response to both Iraq and the G-8 summit.

London was struck by a series of four apparently coordinated terrorist explosions in subways and buses during the morning rush hour today, which killed at least 33 people and wounded as many as 1,000 others. The explosions ripped apart several subway trains and at least one double-decker bus and caused officials to close and evacuate the entire subway system.


The final death count will be much higher than that, they're still doing triage so it's still unclear. The one thing that is clear is that this is indicative that we are on neither a correct nor sustainable course of action, in regard to our 'war on terror' in Iraq and elsewhere, global and national energy policies and the implementation of globalization. It's time to really start thinking about these issues.
