I may be being paranoid here, but isn't it funny that the most amature car bombs ever seen are still being linked to al-Qaeda?
Every expert you've seen on TV says that the attacks couldn't be linked to the military style organisation, yet the media seems to be enjoying it.

Trying not to think about everything that's going on...parents are in Toronto at the moment, and are spending this weekend in London....
They think they've caught most of the people involved, but I doubt that they are actually al-Qaeda

Non-white people....
Yeah they get to London on Saturday, they're there for 3 days then they're travelling around the country.
Dad's promised me that if anything else bad happens in London they won't stay there they will tour the rest of Britian, so it should be right.
Makes you think about other family members you aren't talking to though, and how you'd hate for something to happen overseas and not have your closest family there for support....
Am just going to bite the bullet I think, but I might give you a call and talk to you about that later :)

I think biting the bullet may be a good idea. Speak to you later.

Hold your horses on the concern over crazyness thing.
The only crazyness is the hype and hysteria that has been built up over an incident that- AT WORST- could not have been more destructive than had 3 medium-speed car accidents occured (aka the kind that happen every day).
Could people have died had the "explosives" gone off? Well perhaps. A few. Same as any car accident. Maybe a few more people cut from some glass or metal. But an equivalent car crash certainly wouldn't have made the headlines.
Step 1:
Read this analysis of the "bombs" from an armed forces bomb-disposal operator tasked in support of the UK mainland police from 2001 to 2004.

Step 2:
Compare that with the blatant lies that the media are throwing around regarding these "attacks"
Step 3:
Relax and only bother to worry about things once details and facts are available- items of great scarcity

With the world the way it is, whenever they go anywhere I get a tad nervous, and I'm taking about every week when dad gets on a plane and goes interstate. But at least then it's only 1 parent, and if anything does happen we're close by.
But when both parents (and your younger brother) go somewhere overseas together, where you don't know what the situation is like....well I get a little more nervous then usual.
Then when something happens somewhere that they will be visiting in a few days, and you have no idea what it's really like over there because you're not there....you get a little bit more then nervous....I'd say that I'm between nervous and stressed.

And now I've spoken to dad and he's promised me he'll be careful I don't feel stressed about it at all
