Although I'm not sure of the times and whatnot there was a terrorist attack in London today, AM I think their time.
Read more about it at Black Five and on this site.
Normally I don't mention political happenings. There are no words that can express my sympathies for the British people who lost their loved ones.
Already there are those blaming the war in Iraq and I saw some mention of it being Bush's fault. Umm ok, that made no sense. I don't really follow political happenings as it's quite hard to find news other than what you find on the MSM. On the Today show, I switched because Charmed was at commercial, I noticed they were reporting about it. At 8:30 am central time there was already an asshole blaming the war in Iraq. Oh my. This was before anyone took blame for it. Katie was interviewing him. I could swear she was encouraging him to blame Bush and the war for it. FACTS PEOPLE! It's simply too early for the investigations to be concluded. At the second link I posted there are a lot of links. An al-queada(sp?) affiliate has claimed responsibility. PLEASE NOTE: "As retaliation for the massacres which the British commit in Iraq and Afghanistan, the mujahideen have successfully done it this time in London." That is part of the little note claiming responsibility. The only links I've visited are those at blackfive. Some are not so nice, some are good resources. He posted a balance of links. Already there is blame being placed. Let them bury their dead before there is finger-pointing. We should support them as they supported us.
I can just imagine what the conspiracy theorists are gonna say now. AGH! From what I've read, they won't take this lying down. Either show them support without snide political comments or shut the fuck up! You wouldn't want someone saying those kinds of things after the loss of a loved one, would you? Personally I'm disgusted by those already trying to gain political advantage of the situation. |
