Attacks on London, Our thoughts and prayers... Options

[hershey]

To all my Elenarda friends in England, all words seem somehow lacking, but my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your countrymen. Here in the US we know all too well how such ruthless actions touch the lives of all whether or not you are directly connected to someone involved. My heart goes out to any who know someone lost or injured. I will keep you (as always) and the people of your country in my prayers.

With deepest regard,
~H~

Yet again, those who feel they can change the world with violence have struck out again. It's not big, it's not clever, and it certainly doesn't want anyone to be on their side. What we have seen, read or witnessed today in London has been a set back for intelligence among the pathetic minority who think they alone can rule the world.

No-one rules through striking fear into their subjects. No-one even attempts to cause misery and hope eveyone will run happily to their cause. No-one would be stupid enough to contemplate ruling in a world where even the rulers' safety were at stake.

Yet, in these trying times, they strike again. Hoping to make a difference.

Well, they have.

They have made people stronger, united against such tragic scenarios. They have made people more aware of those around them. They have refuelled the battle to stamp out these types of people who spoil things for all else.

They have shown us that they are envious of the peace elsewhere in the world, and like children, they take the attitude of no-one being allowed happiness if they themselves cannot have it.

They are terrorists, and such people thrive on causing mayhem and terror in everyday lives. Our best stance is to carry on as normal and show them that they are wasting their time.

But my heart still goes out to those who have friends or relatives caught in the blasts. I hope we can return to normal soon. I hope those responsible are caught and tried.
