London Attacked!

I hope that all of our London friends are safe.

Terrorists of one organization or another have set off bombs in the English capital this morning, causing deaths and injuries. The perpetrators of these violent tactics must be eliminated to preserve civilization.

HAving spent 20 years working in London, I'm glad I now work in Oxford.We put up with this in the 80's and 90's from the Irish ,so these mad men will not affect us.

Heart felt sympathies to families of the victims.

Its definetly a tragedy, but I think its really annoying how all world leaders blame it on the terrorists, who's to say it couldnt be somone/group from the U.K??? I think this is why the east indian terrorists continue to make attacks since they always get blamed for it anyway.

I personally think it was somone from London trying to start a civil war, but my thoughts and prayers go to those involved in these horrible attacks.

My thoughts and prayers go to those who were hurt. I have trained and fought side by side with great soldiers from the UK. Today we are all British.

And that "someone/group from the UK" wouldn't be considered terrorists? Not all "terrorists" are foreigners. We Americans remember Timothy McVeigh all too well.

Our prayers are with our UK friends.

Outside the US & Canada, London is the only place I've been to (twice). It's a great, great city. Like many Americans, and peace-loving people throughout the world, my thoughts and prayers are with our UK friends today.

The more I think about it the madder I get. I have seen up close and personal the destruction that terrorist can do. Now do I think that it was an forgien terrorist group...looks that way so far. Could it have been a domestic terrorist...sure. However the first group to claim responsibility was the “The Secret Organization of Al Qaeda in Europe". Time will tell who did it but terrorist are all the same. We have to make the fear us worse then they hate us. Then we have to exterminate them.

My thoughts and prayers are with my UK brothers today. Physical things can be rebuilt but my hope is that the death toll doesn't climb.

Hart felt prayers go out to all those in London and to all people of the world that try to live a free life. Folks let us not forget that the same thing can happen right here in our own backyard it has happen before on a larger scale and it can happen again on a smaller scale in any city here in the US big or small. It may not happen again with planes because there are only a few ways to board a plane and the security is very tight but a bus, car or train there are many ways, just remember that no matter how safe we feel there are people out there ready to prove us wrong.
God be with all who live free and those that fight, have fought and those that have given there all for the freedoms that we have.

My condolences to all of you in London. Not only have people been killed and injured but their families must now live with this and the population as a whole will now live each day with a heightened sense of vulnerability. I hope the culprits are found and justice is forthcoming. My prayers are with you all.
Jerry
ps-On a brighter note, congratulations on being selected for the Olympic Games.

I am appalled by the attacks on our friends in London. My condolences to the families who have lost their loved ones and those who have suffered injuries.
