London

It can't be ignored. London got attacked by terrorists. I don't know what I can say to be honest, except my heart-felt sorrows for anybody hurt.

It's odd to see an attack in England, even after all the scares and what we've seen around the world. It was somewhat inspiring to see how quickly we managed to leap into action to counter the threat, and the eery calm of the londoners, it's nice to know we won't be reduced to panic like the attackers wanted.

It's also painfully ironic that the attack disrupts the G-8 summit that could have ended poverty and the unfair treatement of the third world. I'm hoping it'll all go on eventually, and hopefully the right conclusion will still be reached. Making poverty history was a dream that hunderds rallied behind, and now there's been this big attack that could disrupt and destroy it all. I'm sure Al Queda have their beliefs, but surely they can see what they might have done. This was the time we were supposed to bring aid to those countries, but instead they've risked ruining it all.

Nothing can bring back the dead, but I can only hope that the summit meeting will work out and we can still achieve our goal despite this.
