London is hit

This was an attack waiting to happen.
Most people expected it, and even expected it to be the underground.

Personally, I think it could have been much worse, in rush hour traffic I think the death toll could have been thousands in a co-ordinated attack.
I am so very glad they did not go for the scale and precision I expected.
I realise that this is a poor consolation for those who were injured, those who died and the loved ones they left behind.

This attack I lie at the feet of those who planned it, and also at the feet of Bush and Blair.
This is their perfect little storm.

Once again, it's the little people, the working folk, that are hurt.

And, I believe they will keep on hurting.
Bush and Blair will grasp this attack to intensify their "war on terra"
Pushing for more intrusive legislation, more financial means to fight, less oversight when it comes to prisons and interrogation methods and perhaps, who knows, even the draft in the USA.

Secretly, some neocons must be gloating.

I wonder which western country is next.
Poland?
The Netherlands?
Italy?
Australia?
