In the comments section, “camojack” made the following observation about the London bombings: At least they didn’t time the attack in such a way as to influence Blair’s recent re-election. Had that happened, it may very well have had the … Continue reading →
The coverage of yesterday’s London terrorist attacks has shifted somewhat from facts about the bombings themselves to reactions and analyses of those reactions. Many express solidarity with the British and make references to their history of courage in the face … Continue reading →

Some disjointed thoughts from me on the abominable bombings in London, which were timed for rush hour to maximize the loss of innocent life: Dennis Ross on Fox News just now. He expressed something that many of us have been … Continue reading →
