Well, the big story of the morning, unfortunately, is terror...thank God the attacks appear to have been relatively non-lethal (small comfort to the families of the two dead). Of course, no nation deserves this, but it's a safe bet Great Britain was targeted because of its support of the Iraq war. Once again, a dismal reminder of the evil in this world; we must show no mercy in this fight, for none will be shown to us: what if those explosives had been laced with chemical, biological, or God forbid, nuclear agents? Next time they very well may be if we lessen our vigilance...
The Instapundit has a good roundup...
UPDATE 8:02 a.m.: Gerry of Daly Thoughts makes the excellent point in the comments that it is safer and probably more accurate to say Great Britain was targeted for its support in the War Against Terror, particularly as it relates to Al Qaeda, rather than specifically Iraq. I totally agree and stand corrected.
Also, our good friend Fargus gives us this link to a story about an Islamic group claiming responsibility...no doubt more news on this story will trickle in throughout the day...
UPDATE 8:30 a.m.: Sadly, the toll rises, breaking news alerts have over 40 dead now...let's pray it doesn't continue to rise further. Needless to say, our hearts go out to our British allies...
