London has pretty much just picked itself up and gotten on with it.


Not a bit surprised, evidently the British don't scare easily.
You have our best wishes, carry on.


You might consider this:

You might also consider the source.

To say Britain *invited* this is pretty much the same as saying that the USA
invited 9-11.

To Faux News, every democratic state in the world, ...who does not throw its
citizens into jail on mere suspicion but who actually follows rules of
law.... is "harbouring terrorists and inviting disaster".

Faux caters to those who want to live in its own little walled community
with the machine guns bristling outward at all others, ... and perhaps even
inward at their own, just to keep them in line.

Simplistic, oppressive, and not necessarily any safer.

Doomsday cults live like something like that.

After sitting on our thumbs for 20 years prior (not to mention the 50 years
that the trail goes back, or merely to the first WTC bombing) that's not a
completely wrong assessment.

I'll leave that inane one alone.

(Are the rest of your pals as ignorant as you while claiming everyone else
is? Von Mises pointed that tactic out back 60 years ago.)

And the others tell us that we should kiss up and make up with al Queda. :~)

Simplistic, oppressive, and not necessarily any safer.


And what, to you, would be "safer"?

Doomsday cults live like something like that.


Take that crap and shove it.
