Let’s hope the morning’s events in London will not start a new wave of terror for Europe.
Our prayers should go to everyone across the big pound.

This is a none political post!

 

I hope those responsible are found and justice is served.

 

I woke to hear this on the news. Its a sad day for the world. My prayers go out for the families

 

I agree with the above, with the added prayer that England does not go the way of Spain and pull out of Iraq and Afghanistan. I doubt they will, Blair is a terrific leader, and has stood by the US up to this point. I know we won't leave their side, either.

Ditto. Hope they can run down the group that is responsible..

 

best wishes to our brothers across the pond

 

I was shocked and saddened by the news out of London. My thoughts and prayers (along with all of us here.)...go out to these people and their families.

 

These acts were disgusting, absolutely unforgiveable. I'm tired of hearing this crap constantly on the news.

 

It is horrible- it breaks my heart to watch the news. This needs to stop. Val

 

i am freaking out right now. my sister is in england with the army. i heard about it at work and called my house right away to tell my g/f to call my sister. my sister shares a phone and the line's been busy since i heard about it at 1600 this afternoon. i've called the department of defence foreign personnel line as well as the canadian mission in london and keep getting answering machines.

she's actually working outside london but she's been sightseeing a lot lately and i'll feel a lot better once i hear her voice and know she's ok

 

Best wishes to all those in England, and hopefully these gutless suicidals will cut it out. what a horrible waste.

In 2001, as now, there wasn't a lot that I could do. I think that ate me up a bit. Before it was over, I promised myself to just shut up about it online because I went a bit far over it.

There are useful things we might really be able to do - one is to be prepared to give blood if there is a call for it. I would not rush right out and donate immediately because a sustained supply is better than a massive dump followed by a shortage as happened at the time of 911. Plasma keeps for several weeks, and can be airlifted overnight. We don't even know how much has been used, and I don't even know how many casualties there are.

I am certain there will be all sorts of aid pouring in from all over the place. But keep an eye out for things like that. Like I said - there might be something we can do.

But like 911 - I see no reason to waste words on what I think of those responsible. Condemnation of these acts is surely universal and rather than wallow in anger and disgust I feel that it is far better to think in terms of what kind of positive things could be done if there is a need for them.

I pray that websthes's sister is alright, and comes home safely. She is most likely involved in rendering assistance even as we speak! I have yet to hear of a disaster natural or otherwise where US troops didn't jump in and help any way they could. When she does come home, I think websthes will be proud of her.

Lets try to stay positively focused, I realise it isn't easy.

a sad day indeed, hopefully we will band together with more countries and find those responsible for 911/spain/england/any other terrorist acts....

 

I just found out about this about 20 minutes ago. And that was because someone told me about it. I never watch news anymore because it's so depressing, it goes back to the saying "no news is good news". My prayers go out to everyone, affected directly or not because, somehow this will affect you.

 

I wasn't alerted until five minutes before I posted on this thread. I'm out of the habit of listening to AM or other news sources - I should fix that.
