This old Marine is right there with you guys. Just say the word.

Dear Friends in England,

 The news here has informed us here in Canada of the attack. No just cause can be forwarded through acts of violence. It is cowards who act in this way.

Take care

My condolences go out for the families that have lost loved ones today, and hope the injured have a speedy recovery.  I'm depressed by the recent attack, even if so far away from me.  I just hope things like this won't happen again.  Although the optimism there might break apart at a future attack, you can't hurt being optimistic.

I hope the party responsible for the attacks is found, captured, and tried, if not found and killed.

I saw a report that said one of the attackers was a former Gitmo detainee. I hope that's not true. I would hate to think we had one of the bastards and let him go....

Evidence of that is inconclusive at this point.  I've tuned onto CNN right now and it says that the evidence is inconclusive at this point (not even on whether it's actually a suicide bombing or not, even), despite some possibly false claim in broken Arab on some website...

That pond isn't so big that we can't help each other out, and share our culture.

Thanks to all you guys. ;)
God said to the Welsh: 'I am going to give you this glorious land of lakes and mountains.' So where's the catch, asked the Welsh? 'Wait until you see the neighbours,' replied God.

No arrests yet, so that Gitmo story sounds like a inflammatory rumour.

When Britain first at Heav'n's command
Arose from out the azure main;
This was the charter of the land,
And guardian angels sang this strain;

Rule, Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves:
Britons never will be slaves.

The nations not so blest as thee,
Shall in their turns to tyrants fall;
While thou shalt flourish great and free,
The dread and envy of them all.

Still mor majestic shalt thou rise,
More dreadful from each foreign stroke;
As the loud blast that tears the skies,
Serves but to root thy native oak.

Thee haughty tyrants ne'er shall tame,
All their attempts to bend thee down
Will but arouse thy generous flame;
But work their woe, and thy renown.

To thee belongs the rural reign;
They cities shall with commerce shine;
All thine shall be the subject main,
And every shore it circles thine.

The Muses, still with freedom found,
Shall to thy happy coast repair;
Blest Isle! With matchless beauty crowned,
And manly hearts to juide the fair.

Rule, Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves:
Britons never will be slaves.
The Star Spangled Banner bring hither,
 O're Columbia's true sons let it wave.
May the wreaths they have won never wither,
 Nor it's stars cease to shine on the brave.
