London Terror Attacks

Filed under: General, Terrorism — Patterico @ 8:26 am

The London terror attacks are a stark reminder that the war on terror is global. Our thoughts are with the people of London today.

  2. Well,

  3. al Qaida claims London explosions

    Here’s a comment I just posted to Dan Darling over at Winds of Change.

    2) I did the judicial activism post before I’d even heard about the attacks.

    That’s why I added the caveat, but it still made me laugh.

  7. Terror in Albion

    Both sides of this contenscious debate need to cease their firing (at each other)… Now is the time to show unity with the British - and with our fellow citizens as well… Regardless of our personal viewpoints or geopolitical perspectives. I agree wi…
