Careful............

Had to comment on the events of the last 24 hours...Bombs on the London underground and bus system...Really baaaaad stuff. At least not many were killed/injured as in the WTC but that's not the say it wasn't bad. Now Blair is in a spitting match with who ever did this, with his poor attempt to equal Churchill with insipid, pseudo inspiring speeches. You have to be concerned given we have the Commonwealth Games next year, but it seems that it's not events being targeted but daily activities and times when maximum damage can be caused . Just hope things don't go overboard with retaliating within society. People need to understand that factions such as the ones who caused this, are in the minority...So if they are Irish,Islamic, Arabic, Jewish, Koorie, whatever they do not necessarily support the ideals of the majority.

Society need to be aware of tarring all and sundry with the same brush. I do not believe in the continuing English rule over Ireland, but do not support the killings and bombing of the IRA, yet I believe that Gerry Adams can change Ireland for the better. Evil can be found throughout history in all facets of all religions/ beliefs/ideals, but it is the evil acts which scar the belief, leaving it forever for all to see, causing judgment as to how it occurred when all memories of its birth are forgotten.

Those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it .
