There is an uncanny resemblance to the Irish-American Clan-na-Gael attacks on tube stations in 1880s.
I lived in Birmingham when bombs were goingoff, I worked in Regent's Park when the bandstand was bombed (but I was in central London that day) and when the Old Bailey bomb went off I could see the smoke from my ofice in New Cross. I've been lucky and I no longer have to travel into the city but like everyone else I still will when I want to. Attacks on "soft" targets like this may be easy for the bombers but don't advance whatever twisted cause they have one iota. G8 goes on, Olympics go on, the allies still try to bring normality back to Iraq (I din't support that war but I do support the reconstruction which the bombers now target).
