Ironic after a day of Olympic celebration. My brother, a regular commuter, called me early on
to say he and his family were OK, but communication has proved difficult with mobile networks overloaded. Our thoughts are with the families of the bereaved and injured.
We're having a laugh!

London is indeed a strong city and will endure as they always have. They took a pounding like no other in WW2 and rose above it.

These are terrorists, they are linked to the people who performed 9/11, Bali and Madrid.
Brits. are the last people on earth to be intimidated by anyone. I reckon these guys who placed the explosives have now got very serious problems. Steven
Bates wishes you well.

Just got back and couldn't wait to check in and make sure everything's alright here. Anyone from the Café involved in the blasts?
From the mobile phone video shown on the news, I am assured that the Brits are very courageous, strong-willed people and can get through the situation with ease. Peace and Love, Daniel |

In 1992 I was in Jerusalem and was in an area (a Palestinian market) that was bombed by Jewish terrorists. Later that day I was in a cab that was turned over by a group of Israelis protesting the outrage as a result of the bombing. They really thought it was okay to kill other people and took to the street when others called them on it.
I don't condone the violence in New York, Madrid or London. But vengence and anger just add ammunition to their arguements and worsen the problems. I understand the anger here but use it create something good instead adding to the destruction. Mark

Our sincerest sympathies on the harm visited upon your streets and the fear that is surely hovering just out of sight. Our British friends have certainly experienced far more of this sort of thing than we have and pulled through it with great pride and dignity. I am forever grateful to the men and women who place their lives on the line daily to do so and to the national leaders with the fortitude to command the necessary responses. My deepest respects.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and their families in London. Here's the info that I copied from our local newspapers -
WASHINGTON -— The State Department has set up an emergency telephone line for people to call if any Americans were injured or missing in the series of explosions in London today. People with information should call 1-888-407-4747.

The use of violence to disrupt the lives of so many people who have no part in any ideological or political conflict is simply disrespectful to human life and the basic tenets of civilization itself.

My closest friend who is muslin was injured in the explosion but not seriously (although very shaken). This act has not deterred him from promoting peace (which is true Islam). Many thanks for the support/prayers from across the pond. Thanks

There are alternative theories, I accept this. But are we talking about the ramblings of alternative news media like http://www.whatreallyhappened.com or similar sites? Why, Aljazeera.com even makes the odious suggestion that the US military planned the attacks. Maybe they would like to see the onset of World War Three, but I believe that not one living soul in Britain would believe this appalling fantasy. If it was planned to hit the Country that won the 2012 Olympics, boy these guys certainly can move fast! Please remember you are talking about a Country here that is the master of terrorist surveillance. To get past these guys they must have been very clever and determined murderers. Possibly having been "sleepers" for years. London and the rest of GB seemed to have just gone about it's business as usual today. The financial markets have steadied again. Even the Queen said that nothing will alter the British way of life. I just feel so desperately sorry for those and their relatives who lost life or limbs.
Bates wishes you well.
