London Bombings

My heart sank yesterday when I learned of the London bombings by al Qaeda. My prayers go out to the good people of England. However, I hope that if any good can come from this (and I am positive that there is), that the Britons will come together to realize exactly what kind of enemy the western world faces. Tony Blair has long been a lone voice in a sea of appeasement makers. His voice has been saying very loudly that civilized society cannot tolerate terrorism. Blair almost lost his prime minister position over his support of our efforts.

The attack on London was not just an attack on England. It was an attack on all of western society. Despite our great efforts over the last four years, Al Qaeda is still active. Sure, we've broken them, we've disabled them, but they live on like the cockroaches they are. But al Qaeda will not go away until every civilized country takes the stand that the U.S. has taken and what I believe the Brits will take.

Countries like Spain and France, those that back down to adversity are what fuel these monsters. Attacks will continue so long as they work. When the bad guys have new demands, they will try another attack. It is for this reason that we DO NOT negotiate with terrorists.

England, I love you, and pray for you. Do what your leader has been saying for so long now...prevail over the evil that seeks to destroy you.
