37 Dead London Bombings/700+Injured

Good morning,

Why does the fact that 4 bombings in London (3 on subways and one on a double decker bus) send more chills down your spine and make you far more scared and angry than when it happens in Iraq? Answer, because we like the Brits, and we feel close to their culture. They feel like part of our family, and this attack on them feels a *****little******* too close to home. Now the US has stepped up the terror alert on its own transportation/subway/ train/bus systems. How does it feel?

When I first started this blog, I pointed out how US citizens are just numbified about the slaughtering of innocent victims/civilians in Iraq. Almost 2,000 Iraqis have been killed in bombings, etc.. since April 28th, 2005. But, for some ODD reason, many here feel that the Iraqi people there have made a sacrifice for their own good. Sacrifice for having a new democracy. Their sacrafice is for the US. Their sacrafice, as it turns out, is for Mr. Bush who's reason for attacking Iraq was to fight terrorists who hate the United States on "Their own soil" instead of on US soil.

As with the Iraqi victims, I am very sorry for the loss of innocent Brittish lives. This is yet another example of the horrifying fall out and prediciment Mr. Bush (And Tony Blair), has gotten it's citizens into as well as the citizens of Iraq.

Hey Mr. Bush. Happy day after your birthday. I hope all those little cuts and bruises are feeling much better today.

I'll keep the blog updated with fatalities and injuries from todays London bombings as well as any others that occur. Again, it is difficult to put a number on those dead until all the body parts have been counted for and assembled.

Count to now is 37 dead, and 700 injured. This figure will go up.

Have a nice day.
