Expect that and worse. We didn't call them 'poor IRA terrorists' when our time with them was at its height.

What annoys me, sometimes about some of my fellow citizens is how blasé they get about the past, as if there were to be no lessons to be learnt from it.

We failed to whip the IRA's ass, and after 30 odd years of trying to, we end up talking peace with them.

When it does happen next time, it will not be the 'poor IRA terrorist', who thankfully weren't in the business of suicide bombings, or letting loose chemical and biological attacks.

I would batten down the hatches in double quick time, and try as far as possible not to be so bloody smug about the whole thing.
What does a suicide bomber care about 'increased security?
Is London as well defended as Isreal?
Is it half as well defended?

The words 'sitting ducks' come to mind
