Six Bomb Blasts Around Central London

M3rk1n_Muffl3y writes "There were six explosions around London this morning. Information is still emerging, but looks like there were bombs detonated on a bus near Russel Square and several others on the Underground around the City and King's Cross. It's been difficult to reach people on their mobiles."

    Al Qaida existed before the invasion of Iraq. They exist after the invasion. And they will continue to exist for quite some time. They hated us before we invaded Iraq. Regardless of whether or not we had invaded Iraq they would still want to kill us all. You can claim Bush was wrong for going into Iraq all you want (and I'm not saying I disagree with you), but you cannot blame this specific instance on the fact that the US invaded Iraq.

    The audacity and seeming ease of the attack once again demonstrated that all it takes is a small group of determined individuals to create such damages and chaos. Forget about WMD, shock&awe bombs... with no war declared and no shot fired, this is TERROR that strike at the whole country all at once. How can anyone, anywhere, ever feel safe again?

    There really is something morbidly funny about people willingly stuffing themselves into holes in the ground from which there is no possibility of escape in the event of a catastrophe. And then the catastrophe happens. Same goes for 100+ storey buildings.

    So what's the basis of your statement that 100,000 people have died in Iraq?
