London Bridge is...

So, I'm driving to work, and I hear on the radio that there's been a bombing of the London Tube system.

The DJ, Elliott, says that it's in effect, England's 9.11.
Then he gets this caller who basically says that there's NO WAY that this could be like 9/11, because this is so small in comparison, blah blah blah.

Another lady calls right after to dipute the other commentor, & says something to the effect that mentalities such as this is precicely why the rest of the world hates us. She was like, "that's so selfish to think that we are the only ones who feel shock," etc. Another caller said that "this isn't a popularity contest" and that an act of terrorism is an act of terrorism.

Elliott pointed out that the English are so reserved by nature anyways, that this is way bigger to them than they're letting on, expecially since (at the time) the tubes were still blocked.

I agree with those who said the first caller's opinions were trite. England's way smaller than the US as well, and that should be taken into consideration.

Besides, I have people who are going to Europe, and now I have to worry about their safety.

Stupid terrorists. Aren't you supposed to bomb stuff if you want attention to a cause that isn't receiving any? To make some desperate point? Like, "you are holding political prisoners. we will shoot a hostage an hour until you release them" isn't that what terrorists do? Aren't they supposed to have "reasons" for killing people? What is their reason?

This is all so darn senseless!
