Terrorism in the UK.
The United State, Spain, Australia (by proxy in Bali, Indonesia) and now the United Kingdom have been attacked by Al Qaeda movement terrorists. Reports of fatalities and injuries are uncertain at the moment but I won't be surprised if the numbers have risen dramatically when I wake up tomorrow morning (Perth Time UTC +8).
What a terrible world we have created on Spaceship Earth.
How is it that powerful nations exploit and oppress poor nations while simultaneously proclaiming the virtues of justice and democracy?
Greed and hypocrisy poison justice and democracy from within turning them septic until they expire. What then?

LONDON (Reuters) - Four blasts ripped through London during rush hour on Thursday morning, killing at least 45 people and disrupting a summit of Group of Eight leaders in Scotland in attacks Prime Minister Tony Blair called "barbaric".
Home Secretary Charles Clarke called the explosions "terrorist attacks".
Witnesses saw the top ripped off a double-decker bus near Russell Square close to King's Cross station, and three more apparently coordinated explosions caused carnage on packed tube trains as Londoners made their way to work.
Security sources told Reuters there were fatalities at all four bomb sites, and Sky Television said at least 45 people had been killed. A further 150 were seriously wounded, and hospital staff said some were unlikely to survive.
"I was on the bus," said one dazed passenger. "I looked round and the seats behind me were gone."
"You could see bodies on the road outside," said another eyewitness, Peter Gordon. "There was smoke everywhere. It was carnage."
