London

Bugger.

My friend Mike says that since Islamic militants want to die a martyrs' death, and the rest of us want them to as well, we should put them all together in a large field with bombs and we have a win-win situation.

The world is tough enough as it is without this sort of tragedy. Ok Iraq's invasion was awful, and so was Afghanistan, and lots of innocent people died but ..... the problem with this stuff is that trying to balance out what is the lesser atrocity and what constitutes a just war is all bollocks.

It's all wrong... the Taliban were nasty oppressive tyrants, as was Saddam Hussein, and so is George Bush. The thing that infuriates me so much about the Islamic fundamentalists is that they would use our relative freedom to take it from everyone if they could. It's almost as perverse as bombing for peace.

But the deaths in London were just nasty.
