Lunch: 7/7/2005

Sorry, limited lunch offerings today. However, you're invited to bring a covered dish. Details at the bottom of this post. For now, let's talk about what happened in London today.

Somebody set off some bombs. And killed some folks. By the time you read this, perhaps the culprits will be known. Perhaps not. But you know what? It doesn't matter much. Because bombing London isn't an effective way of waging a war.

Hitler tried it. And failed. Oh, he bombed the hell out of London. Killed lots of folks. Destroyed lots of property. Affected lots of lives. And the British survived it.

The British are survivors. And fighters. Oh, now they'd rather not fight a war. No one in their right mind would want to fight a war. But, when they have to fight, they kick ass. Nearly kicked ours twice.

Speaking of which, aren't they the only nation we ever beat that didn't need us to go in and rebuild? You know why that is? They are survivors. And they'll survive this.




Like I said earlier, no list of links today. Actually, I have a few. Lots of bloggers are following this. You can always find good roundups of major events at InstaPundit, Michelle Malkin, La Shawn Barber, and others.

If you're a blogger, consider Feisty Republican Whore's suggestion to fly the Union Jack. And if you're covering the attacks, you're welcome to leave a TrackBack here.

    London is under attack. Keep them in your thoughts. Makes me glad we have our fighting men and women on the first line of defense against terrorism everywhere.

  4. London Under Attack

    Perhaps the most awful thing about terrorism is that you can spend your morning joking around with your friends and when you turn on the radio, you discover that all hell has broken loose in a new and unexpected location....

  5. Done. Of course, if I had any sense, I'd also remove the request, wouldn't I? :)

  6. Terrorist Attacks in London

    Four explosions in London today are being ruled terrorist attacks. It amazes me how these groups brag about their exploits. They scramble to take responsibility for horrific acts, like their worth is measured in the number of civilians killed throug...

  15. Does anyone know of any forums where people involved in the blasts can chat to one another? Seems like lots of blogs, but it would be great to share some experiences with others that will be going through the same. Thanks

  16. If I knew, I would gladly pass the information along.

    By "forum" are you excluding blogs? They mean different things to me.
