London Bridge

Another bombing in London, though not as serious as those on 7/7. Although Blair is denying these attacks have anything to do with Iraq, I think they do. Perhaps there would still be bombings if Britain didn't support the Iraq war; maybe they would be bombed just for being industrialized and democratic. But I do think these specific bombings are related to Britain allying themselves with America in this war. In the mind of an aspiring suicide bomber, it would make sense to try to weaken your enemy by breaking one of her allies, like a domino affect. However, I think these terrorists' and copy-cat terrorists' scheme is failing, and if the dominos do fall, it will only be back on them. Perhaps these attacks on British soil will awaken the people to a patriotism, much like the united spirit of America after 9/11, and fire of intolerance for terrorism. Maybe these assaults on freedom will be for good in the long run. Time will tell...
