The entire city center in Birmingham has been evacuated and there are reports that the police have conducted controlled explosions. The evacuations were the result of "intelligence." The controlled explosions suggest that it was not a false...

Weekly BlogScan: Live from the London Blasts
When the purpose is to create terror, nothing works like having a mundane, every-day environment suddenly turn deadly. That's what happened this week in London—in the midst of pleasure about the selection of the city for the 2012 Olympics, mayhem...

We need leaders who prevent terrorism, not cause it
There is a massive failure of leadership in the U.S. and U.K. When our people die, what we get from blowhards Bush and Blair is nothing but therapy, about how the terrorists hate our freedoms, and that we will stand...

In Wake of London Bombing, Senate Republicans May Take Rail Security Seriously
Of all people, it was Joe Scarborough who may have said it best. On the July 7 edition of MSNBC's Scarborough Country, the conservative broadcaster said: "(U)nfortunately, friends, too many of us are not serious about this war on terror." The Bush...

Thanks Eric.

It certainly seems to me that the left's idea of letting the terrorists alone and embracing them with hugs and kisses isn't going to do much at keeping them from trying to kill us.
This one area I strongly support Bush - it is clear that while al Quaeda might be clever, they aren't very smart.
Making enemies around the world isn't doing much for their general popularity. I hope Blair hunts down every single one of them and vivisects them and leaves their corpses rotting in the streets.
Savage motherf*ckers.

appeasement is surely not the answer
5 - SFC Ski
This is terrible news, I hope the Brits will find the terrorist cells quickly and take them out.
One thing I doubt the Brits will concern themselves with is, "Why do they hate us?"

As a lefty, I can honestly say that I've never advocated hugging or kissing terrorists, or even just leaving them alone.
But I can see now how going after Saddam has taken care of all those terrorists around the globe.

we might as well just give them back Spain and get it over with

They want the world.

couldn't we non-Islamists just move to Mars or something and let them have earth, which clearly Allah has deeded to them?
10 - Andrew Ian Dodge
The interesting irony of course is that there is a major lead-up going on to this Sunday reminding people of Londoners who stood up to Nazism and made it through the blitz. I think it might have an effect on Londoners determination to continue. (Not that bombs are a new thing in London.)
11 - SFC Ski
Well, I can only speak of the Brits that I know; I really this attack making them back down the way the Madrid attacks affected the Spaniards.
12 - Matt
As long as my iPod works on Mars, and you can get Sirius Satellite radio there, I'm game.
13 - Eric Olsen
perhaps this will encourage us all to get over whatever our political reticence is to capture and/or liquidate bin Laden
14 - Eric Berlin
Dawn -- Who on the left is "embracing the terrorists with hugs and kisses"? No one I know, in person or government or public life...
Woke up this morning to the news of the London attacks. Ever since 9/11 (when I witnessed the attacks occur from a San Francisco television station control room) I wake up every morning half-expecting to hear abominable news.
This morning I did.

Perhaps it IS time to stop being politically correct, & just start shutting down mosques & deporting muslims back to the middle east they all come from. BTW, I haven't heard a peep from any muslim news source concerning any muslim authorities or organizations whatsoever condemning this latest outrage. Therefore I infer they approve. More reasons to turn them into sheets of nuclear molten glass.
16 - Eric Olsen
I would say Dawn's message is aimed farther left than most anyone around here
17 - SFC Ski
In Iraq, the kidnappers of an Egyptian envoy released a video claiming that the killed him. Probably won't get much press due to the events in London.
18 - Aaron, Duke De Mondo
hang on, though, have any of the claims of responsibility actually been verified? an hour ago they were saying that a loada fanatics and groups had claimed they were behind it, but no-one knows yet.
19 - Eric Olsen
perhaps the G8 aspect of this will actually aid the coordination between the nations in the fight against terror - the proximity to the attacks might inspire a few leaders as well
20 - Dawn
My comment is aimed directly at the apologists who think that these attacks are our fault ("our" being Western civilization) for doing what we do best: thriving and being successful.
Unless you are apologizing for that, then clearly I am not talking to you.
21 - Eric Olsen
I say coopt the fuckers even more aggressively than in the past
22 - Eric Berlin
Dawn -- ANYONE who says that is obviously on the fringest of the fringe and barely seems worthy of discussion.
23 - Dawn
Eric B. - Please - there are millions of people who say and think that way, surely they can't be ignored.
24 - Jon Sobel
"the apologists who think that these attacks are our fault"
There are such apologists, but they are a fringe. The problem is, anyone who proposes actually thinking things through and figuring out why things are the way they are - in other words, actually using their brain - is labelled immediately by the knee-jerk Right Wing as being an "appeaser" (cf. Karl Rove's recent ridiculous and offensive "therapy" comment).
25 - Andrew Ian Dodge
JS: You can try to figure out what hell is going on with Islamists without being called an "appeaser". It does help if you don't start by giving them excuses for their behaviour. Trying to understand why people do such things is fine but excusing them is not.
