Nothing more needs to be said. At least 3 separate incidents according MSNBC right now.

I'm hearing a total of 4 on CNN - 3 train stations and 1 bus. How screwed up can people be?!?!?! This is such a sad world that we live in where people can't cope with differences. How long before it comes back here on our soil???

My brother was there when it happened. He's spending the summer doing an intership in London until law school resumes.

We are going to keep having the problems as long as the "NEWS MEDIA" keeps giving the terrorists credit for the bombings. Now I know that it is news but if the terrorists weren't getting the coverage, I don't think there would be near as many. Just my humble opinion!!!!
Looks like they killed one potential bomber inside the station. Don't @#$% with the bobbies!!!

Turns out the guy had nothing to do with the bombings. Oops.
And now they've bombed a resort in Egypt.
Forgive me, but I really think I might turn into one of those armageddon nuts standing on a corner with a cardboard sign that reads "the end is nigh!"

All in all, just another sign of the end.
What kills me is that there was an article on MSN last night that says most people think that the "War on Terror" will turn into another World War.
All I can say is what makes it not a World War already? We have our warriors in combat in two theaters, attacks around the World (Bali, Egypt, London, Madrid, Kabul, Israel, and Baghdad), and a World wide economic impact. Exactly what makes this not already a World War? :bang: :bang: :bang:
People are so oblivious to the world around them.

You mean to tell me not everyone in the U.S. can dig a hole and reach nothing but mud?? Is that why we put our loved ones in concrete before they go under ground when they die?

I didn't know you guys still put your dead below ground. I thought it was all above ground down there. Or is that just specifically New Orleans?
- Greg
New Orleans and surrounding parishes put their loved ones above ground. They are truly below sea level. We have swamp-like marshy ground. that contributes to our below standard roadways. We can have a small amount of rain here and the yard will hold water like a sponge. You need a week of sunshine with no rain to dry it up. we put our loved ones under ground in our parish, but you have to line it all the way around with concrete.

If this stupidity continues, terrorism, We all will have to consider where we will be buried. I think constantly about the threat of going nuclear and the results. We are all going to have to learn to like the color black, It's how we are going to end up, BLACK and CRISP.:lol:

The only thing I can really say I truly worry about is what the world will be like when my children grow up. I hope things are "fixed" by then. So we have time since my kids are 12, 10 and 4. But the sad fact is, the middle east is never going to live the same lives we do. So this is never going to go away. Terrorism has been there since my children were born. Andrew was born the year of the Oklahoma City bombing, Paige was born the year of David Koresh at Waco and Lauren was born the year the World Trade Center fell along with so many Americans. I think we all need to face the fact that we are going to spend the rest of eternity trying to control cultures we can't understand. Nor can they understand us. It's sad. In the words of "Miss Congeniality", I pray for world peace. I truly do. I have six incredible reasons to do so... all of me and Steve's children. I can handle what happens to me, what I can't handle is something happening to our six beautiful children.

I'll second that one Ros. I think we should just have left the middle east alone in the first place. You're right, they never wll be the same as us. It doesn't matter whether it is now or a hundred years from now. I have 3 reasons myself...My 2 and boyfriends daughter.

It's sad, words like Taliban and Al Qaeda are commonplace in our vocabulary now. 9/11 will never again be just another day. War isn't country versus country anymore, it's ideals versus ideals, ethnicities versus ethnicities, values versus values. The battlefield has shifted, from the beaches of Normandy to the streets of New York City, London, Madrid, Israel. The Geneva Convention is merely wishful thinking now, an archaic remnant of a more idealistic time.
I don't like the world that we live in very much anymore. Unfortunately, we seem to be well on our way to destroying it anyhow. :(

Let's not forget what a joke the United Nations has become. What was once a good idea really needs to be re-organized. Their contributions to this world-wide problem has been a disappointment to me...unless I am misunderstanding the purpose of the U.N. If anyone can clear my thinking on that issue, please do so!
Yep. It sure saddens me to see what the world seems like through the eyes of a child. My younger children are headed for a disappointment.

I thought the U.N. was simply to provide garish fashion advice, arguing for the inclusion of baby blue berets and helmets with woodland and desert camouflage uniforms...

That may be what it appears to be now, but I assure you, the intentions in the beginning were otherwise!

Eh. I could give you my real opinions on the U.N., and what's gone wrong... but I might use it for my master's thesis instead, so I'm gonna hold onto that for a while. :D
Suffice it to say, they want to remodel the U.N. building now, but I think more than just the building needs an overhaul.
- Greg
Well, I'm not saying that any terrorist activities are good, and it sucks that people were killed, BUT at least it has now happened to someone else as well and some of the liberal heart bleeding crap from some of the other countries in our coalition are thinking less about pulling their support. I don't mean to start a debate or argument on this, I'm just saying that I was a Marine and I have friends over there right now who have felt some of the burden created by countries pulling out or cutting support. If we have guys over there, then I want them to have all of the support possible so that more come home the way they left, thats all.
Amen Champ! We all have got to pray for the troops.
