Fear? Why? They're not going to sacrifice their lives for no reason. If they want fear, it's because fear instills respect for their group, which makes them more powerful, which makes it easier to achieve their goals. If they're going to commit suicide, but had no cause, they wouldn't take down hundreds of people with them, à la suicide bomber - there'd be no reason to.
...am I making sense?

I'm just saying that they don't blow up stuff just for fear's sake - they need to have an actual reason to instill the fear (and not just for cheap thrills - in the case of suicide bombers, how would they enjoy the "thrill" afterwards?).

There were more bombings today, though not anywhere near the scale of the previous bombings.

>_< This is just...sick. To anyone who ever lost someone this way--and I have known several--I am so very, very sorry.

Hey guys.
This is a real late post, but I am so sorry for everyone who lives in the London area. It must just be terrifying getting on a bus now, going out in public places...
It must just be unbearable to lose someone that way, thinking about how they died. If anyone lost someone like that, my codolences. Sorry, Avis. That just must be terrible.
I read there were four more bombings?

My mum was just watching a news broadcast on the new bombings. She told me that no-one was killed in these ones - is that true? I didn't watch it myself.

Of course it couldn't be true.....could it? What do you mean by that? The bombs (I'm told) didn't go off this time - so nobody died.

Thank God, and I mean that religiously. *nods* Keeping all you Londoners in my prayers. (I have a very dear friend who lives there...)

But the fact that there were even any more bombs in London in the first place has meant that security has gone up several notches.
