One man's reaction to the London bombings

I meant to post something about the bombings yesterday, but never got a chance to do so. But the Guardian has one columnist's impressions of being in London after the bombings that does a good job of putting you in the middle of the chaos, or at east little off to the side of it.

As I mentioned previously, Londoners never cease to amaze me. If such an attack occured in Canada, I don't know what would happen. But I hope they would be a stoic as the British.

I doubt it. We'd probably be running around in shock, then blame ourselves for it. "Did we offend those nice Al Queda fellows by being in the way of their bombs? We'd better draft a strongly worded letter of apology, in English and French."

The letter of apology would HAVE to say "I'm a big fat French idiot" at the very end of the English version... :)

Well, that goes without saying. In fact I'd like to have it after all French, that includes on money.
