And in a separate post: I know I'm late with this, but I extend all sympathies and thoughts to Londoners. I don't think there are any on my flist, but I guess that's not really the point, is it? I'm thinking of you all.
However. I am kind of sickened by, well, Tony Blair. So Britain won't let this destroy their way of life. Fabulous. 33 people (?) have died. This is horrifying and nothing excuses it but (c) ten thousand people have died in Iraq since the begining of the war there. Civilians. People living in Iraq have been living with conditions like they are in London sicne the beginning of the war (and probably somewhat before it, but not to the same extent.) So I'm glad Britain's not going to let this affect them, but this just seems like such... hypocrisy to me that... I'm sort of speechless.
