Yeah, saw it on the news...

Pretty scary stuff.

[Red Sentinel]

low death toll.... wasnt it like 2?

[Kowboy]

Maybe it will make more people understand that terrorists can attack their country too, and then they will be more supportive of the war.

To bad we couldn't isolate all the terrorists to one island, then nuke it.

The death toll is around 40
There are possibly 1,000 people injured
150 people are seriously injured

This was done not just to kill people, but to hurt the global economy (The DOW, NASDAQ, and S&P have already shown evidence of this. I'm sure other markets around the world are down as well.).

Maybe it will make more people understand that terrorists can attack their country too, and then they will be more supportive of the war.

^Exactly what I'm thinking

yeah... or put them in the middle of the pacific ocean with a bag of concrete tied onto them. (the kind that got rained on then hardned)

[Hax the Cook]

Thats not good...

[Neraphym]

The terrorists' aim was probably to knock the british support off the US campaigns in the middle east. Might just end up strengthening it.

[Jake]

37 dead
700 injured...

thats the new count...

[Fabolous]

I hope all the injured Engish will recover good.

What the terrorists don't understand is that when they attack a civilian target or military target, they think that the nation will surrender but instead will stregnthed it. Those stupid towel-heads should understand that and stop doing this.

[Master Of Stuff]

My concern is to the people of London and all of England.

Thoughts and prayers...
