I remember living there in the early 80's at RAF Mildenhall and going through the same thing. If I recall, at that time they were targeting shopping centers and the Air Force was quick to start protecting the dependents.

My thoughts are with them.

I apologise for the language. I'm quite unhappy about this.

Apparantly an Al Queda cell or cell appropriating the name has claimed responsibility.

Also, a mate in London who has a mate working for the Underground. He says 300+ casualties there, though I don't know if that's wounded included.

Also, my mate said his train was delayed that morning because a suspicous device had been found on a train. Hopefully, this device will shed a lot of light on the motherfuckers who built it.

This is the hard way to get a wake up call, hopefully other nations will not be so lax in their security and step up to the plate and remind the citizens that complacency kills.

I hope that this galvanizes support for GWOT and doesn't undermine security efforts throughout the world.

My thoughts are with those that are directly or indirectly affected. Now lets find and kill the bastards responsible.

Small world, my family was at Upper Heyford 82-86.

The British have the experience and fortitude to both weather this tragedy and prosecute those responsible .

Peace unto the victims and their families.

Rule Britannia!

The Brits and our other great allies are standing with us and will not let us down.

AQ picked the wrong nation to attack this time. The Brits stuck it out through the Blitz when things looked hopeless and we were not yet involved.

In that light, I use one of the finer quotes of a very quotable Englishman who served his country during that time.

"If you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." -- Winston Churchill

God Bless the victims and their families, and let us renew our efforts to send the perpetrators to a very special part of Hell reseved for those who deliberately target innocents.
