    Angry With Deepest Sympathy

    You have my greatest sympathy. You have two choices now:

    Blame it on your involvement with the war on terror.

    Blame it on the terrorists and take whatever means needed to see that the terrorists come to know that vengance is swift and terrible.:angry:

    May you have the courage to make the right choice.

    Don't worry Chip. From sept. 12 the brits have had our back and have made it clear that they will take no crap! They made the right choice a long time ago.

    Thanks people, I am OK we are 100's of miles away so my sympathies also to anyone affected by this.

    It enrages me in particular that it is today, when the world leaders are together talking about how to end the suffering and starvation in Africa.

    This is so true, our neighbors have been great to us and we to will be great to them. My prayers and our thoughts are very much with you. I am sorry for your pain, I remember the feelings that took so long to wither away. I am sorry for you.

    lets hope.........

    we can catch the bombers quickly.
    hopefully get back to normal as quickly as possible and not let the terrorists think they can disrupt our way of life.

    It is by universal misunderstanding that all agree. For if, by ill luck, people understood each other, they would never agree.

    This is heart-breaking, London is my (and probably many folks) favorite city. Question: maybe I jumped to an erroneous conclusion: were the bombers not suicide bombers? Meaning beyond "catching".

    My heart goes out to the people caught in the Underground tunnels, I just can't imagine how terrifying this would be. Well, London has been through worse, I'm sure these folks will rise to the occasion once more.

    according to the latest news i heard the bomber on the bus may have been a suicide bomber but at least one of the train bombs was remotely detonated

    A daisy cutter a day in a well placed terrorist stronghold or training site, might give whole new meaning to the term "Suicide Bomber."

    The only way to be same from an enemy is to destroy the enemy.
