I just would like to point out a major difference between London and NYC during yesterday and 9/11 respectively
The british don't freak out. did you notice that? a bomb goes off in their subway (or three for that matter), and they stil ride them where they can! they are still on the mass transit system half an hour later (when the news is bound to have reached a lot of them)!
It took four BIG bombs and a few hours to stop the mass transit. In NYC, four planes crash, half a n hour later, the US is no-fly zone for a week. the tube was running today where the line wasn't screwed over.
Is it just me, or is this a huge difference?
I am willing to bet, the Brits will hunt down the killers and make some security stuff better, but they aren't going to go duct tape their windows, stockpile food and lock themselves inside for three months! or invade anyone! I can't say the same for us though...
Why? I don't know. But I have a feeling it is because the British are somewhat used to this. They didn't think they were living in an impenetrable bubble.
This is a curiosity, but why was America attacked at 9/11, but London was attacked yesterday? Why wasn't it NYC or Britan/UK attacked?
Whatever

yeah... good point
the thing that we need to remember is taht you can't declare a war on terrorism because its impossible to win. you can't defeat a tactic. i want to know who's responsible and what their reasoning is for attacking london... i guess i just like to understand peoples motives...
You're right, except there is one big difference: The 9/11 attacks killed (correct me if this is wrong) over three THOUSAND people. The London bombings killed at least 33 people and probably not more than 100. A BIG difference in scale.
My point is, the Brits don't alter their way of life. They just go on. WE, however, run in circles screaming "We're all gonna DIE!"
Another thng to prove tht the brits just keep going was that the germans killed 25,000 ppl in london, and they were still going, drinking tea as robustly as ever.
that was WWII
Jesus, alan! Haven't you seen the videos? EVERYONE on the fucking trains was freaked out and pretty much screaming we're all gonna die. The leadership didn't waver, of course. Then again, neither did Bush.
You're right, though. It is better to drink tea and ignore the threat than to respond to it.
