Or a different day, like the Victory celebrations, when thousands were in the Mall.As a nation, like Spain (this seems not too dissimilar to the Madrid bombs), we've lived with terrorism before, and we knew that it was only a matter of time until such an event happened, it's just always been a case of when and on what scale, we won't give in to fear.For anyone in London - hope you and yours are safe.

You guys have far better terms than we do.A prediction: This kind of thing will continue to escalate worldwide, until there is a crackdown or a Big Brother-style environment. Unfortunately, most of the world's citizens are soft and weak. Let's say a rule was implemented such as this: If you are involved IN ANY WAY with terrorism, and are caught, your trial must be completed within 30 days. If you are found guilty, you and every member of your immediate family are put to death by immolation. Children, women, the works. See how quickly shit like this ends.Any religion or set of beliefs that deems it acceptable to kill noncombatants is fucked up to begin with.Keep in mind that it was not necessarily Al-Queerda that engineered the explosions. There are many groups out there who would, in their eyes, stand to gain from them. It most likely is AQ, though.This gives me an idea for a module series....
