I can't even find words to talk about it really. Anger probably works. We are lucky to not be directly affected here in Chicago, but we could be, you know? (And you in NY, obviously!!). I agree with you about denouncing the violence. I mean, who else can get through to these people? Apparently, death as a consequence means nothing to them. And if life isn't valuable, what is?

yep tommy - they are EVERYWHERE and its scary. they built a mosque around the corner from my parents house and suddenly the whole area is full of them. on 9/11 they were handing out celebratory leaflets with pictures of the burning towers. it is sickening. the liberal law in england is tooo kind - they get money, cars and houses from the social security. Grrrrrr.

Thanks for thinking about me everyone. I just can't believe this has happened. I was reading in the paper only his morning about the last dead person id'ed from the King's Cross blast - an Afghan student whose parents had been killed by the Taliban and who had fled here for safety.  They should NOT be doing this to us.
I'm not shocked today, I'm just so sad.

that this doesn't surprise us anymore, isn't it. Really says something about the state of the world.
Glad your okay, Linz.

I made my constitutional law professor very uncomfortable during my first year of law school when I said I'd much rather have my arab-american brothers locked up all day on unproven charges than blown up in a building. My older brother worked in the world financial building (part of the WTC complex) on 9/11 and was deeply affected. You better believe I'd rather have his constitutional rights violated (and mine) than risk losing him or anyone else. I'm generally a libertarian but when you have nothing to hide, searches shouldn't be a problem.
On that note, I was actually asked to step aside during the carryon baggage check on my way back from Montreal. I'd been selected to have my belongings thoroughly searched. She went into everything, including my makeup pouch and every little container. I stood pleasantly and didn't say a word, as she kept on apologzing for having to do this. She asked where I was from and I said New York. She said ah, so you understand. I wish I didn't have to understand so much, but there is nothing wrong to consenting to a small invasion of privacy (which is not, contrary to popular belief, a constitutional right), for the sake of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
I hate this though, and I feel so vulneralbe, like noplace is safe.
