USA 9/11; UK 7/7
4 bombs (2 duds?) in London today: 50+ killed, 700+ injured, many seriously.
Raises a couple of questions: if Paris had been awarded the 2012 Olympic Games yesterday, would the bombs have gone off there today? Will Brits react like the Spaniards?
In the GWOT (Global War on Terrorism), did the terrorists just galvanize an ally or create a fearful friend?
My take? Brits will rally: "Death to terrorists."

I agree. This is, after all, the same nation that produced the likes of Drake, Nelson, Elizabeth I, and Churchill, among others too numerous to mention; and as Churchill himself once remarked, the British people did not become what they are by being made of sugar candy.
