Only one thing to say

I have refrained from writing anything today about the London bombings. Everyone else has been writing about it, and not surprisingly it didn't take long before people were politicizing it. In fact, some started their mornings off by politicizing it.

Roger Abramson has apparently been feeling the same way as myself. His post is right on the mark...

I realize I sound like I'm on a high horse here, and I guess I am. But I mean--cripes--couldn't everyone just give it a rest for 24 hours? Are politics and the "who shot John?" arguments that go along with politics that flipping important?

Do you think George W. Bush is the greatest thing since sliced bread? That this is but another bump in the road in the War on Terror? That this should put some stiffen in the spines of those noodle-backed Europeans? Well, whoop-dee-do for you. Tell it to some of these people. I'm sure they'll appreciate your input.

All I have to say is this...

Today we are all Londoners.

That is the best tribute I can think of, Blake.

Well done.
